BeenBurned thank you so much!!!

I just received the bag along with 3 different straps. Both d-rings are secure and the original strap is included. It looks like they just couldn't recall which strap belonged to the bag and were changing and putting several different ones. Somehow an extra d ring got into the mix. :giggle:
That's great because if you ever find a bag missing a long strap (which I've found several times at thrift stores), you may have a workable fix!
 
Several other plant codes were also "floaters" which is one reason why we've never posted any kind of master list of Coach plant codes. It would just lead to more confusion, and a plant code can't prove a Coach is authentic although sometimes the wrong plant code can go a long way toward proving that a bag is fake.
That's good to know. I'm finding the stamping/font styles and spacing difficult to distinguish. Appreciate your time and expertise.
 
Would you mind authenticating this FB Marketplace purchase?

Genuine. There aren't any measurements that I can see but it looks like a Rambler from the mid 1980s.
 
Hi Authenticators,
Item: Kristin. Not sure if they called it a zip top tote?
Where purchased or how obtained: one of our regular clients. She can’t find the receipt.
Comments: she had the bag customized some time ago

Thank you for all of your help!

The bag is fine but it was originally solid color leather. I think the bag in the listing is mushroom.
