In this case, I don't see any issues either although had you come here prior to purchase, I wouldn't have recommended the listing without the seller costad5 removing the non-helpful (and infringing) Coach stock images and adding her own pictures are parts necessary for authentications.

Thanks authenticators

Just a heads-up on that red bag from andromeda_collections -

Does anyone else think that it's been dyed, or maybe painted? I'm looking at the strap edges in the first photo.

The seller specifies "No returns" and has several Neg and Neutral Feedbacks because of Coaches that smelled bad.

The red shade doesn't look right for the year either. It looks a bit too "candy apple". The late 80s-early 90s reds I remember seemed to have a bit more orange or vermillion in them. And I'm always suspicious when vintage bags seem too shiny.

I think it is possible the photos are just oversaturated. There were two 80s reds I remember, one brighter and one darker, but neither as pink and saturated as that one.

The seller was active here at tPF at one time. She seemed quite knowledgeable about rehab and repairs. My bags can look a bit shiny if I overdo the finishing conditioner. Wonder if that is a factor here as well.

Good morning! Can this be authenticated please? Thank you!

Item: Vintage Coach Black Leather Crossbody Purse
Seller: shopgoodwill
Link: shopgoodwill.com/Item/126288203

Note: Based on size, shape, and specs, I think this is a Pocket Purse, but the creed is that early serial # without a style #. These stump me even after reading the SA guides.

Sorry you were missed. It's authentic. It was made before serial numbers, mid 70s. I've seen those zipper pulls on pre-serial number bags. My watermelon tote has the same type.
