Item:Vintage Coach Satchel Made in New York City
Listing number:254913533243
Seller and site where listed Ebay 14barclay
Link:https://www.ebay.com/itm/254913533243?hash=item3b5a07d53b:g:bD0AAOSwiGNgWbkZ

Comments: Looking for info on the style name and age. Would like to confirm authenticity as well. Thank you in advance!
Authentic slim satchel standard 9430, probably made in the late 70s. It is not a Bonnie Cashin. Bonnie Cashin was gone from the company before this was produced.
 
There's a good reason we always tell buyers to search here at tPF for the name of the seller they're thinking of buying from.If you had searched ' shanahanlu " you would have found a page of links to posts all about that seller and warning everyone NOT TO BUY FROM HER.

The bag can't be authenticated because the creed and serial number aren't readable, probably deliberately because the seller knows darned well that it's fake, but there are other problems with that bag. Cancel the sale. And always SEARCH here first, and NEVER buy from anyone who won't show a clear readable photo of the creed and serial number.

Here's a post about her fakes just from last Sunday:

Thank you so much for the response, i really appreciated it. Good thing i didn’t purchase it right away, i am so glad. You saved my money:)
 
Item: coach madison bridle top handle 6701
Listing number: 165005081472
Seller and site where listed: girl.ml / ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165005081472?hash=item266b11bb80:g:VPAAAOSwKThfkQ1m

Please assist with authenticating this item please. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Also, the seller noted it as a top handle Kelly bag, but not sure if that is correct.

Thank you!

Genuine, made in 1998.The seller is throwing several keywords into the listing title that have nothing to do with this bag at all. The correct name is Bridle Top Handle according to the 1999 Preview catalog. "Madison" is a completely different line - lines, actually. And I believe that "Kelly" is actually a registered Hermes trademark and was never used by Coach.
