Hi Authenticators, thank you for your help on the 2 bags I posted about earlier. Can I have your opinion on this one that has been restored? Is it authentic and does it look ”correctly” restored?

Comments: Authentic?
Thanks in advance!
In the last two hours they just raised the price of this bag by 25%. I guess they are watching this thread.
And they raised the shipping price!
Seller ciou? IMO, that's not totally honorable.

Although I don't like Poshmark in general because of the amount of fraud, fakes and dishonest buyers AND sellers, ciou is another prime example of why I feel as I do! JMHO.

(Be sure to include sellers' IDs in requests!)

It's authentic and made in the early 1990s. I can't tell how accurate the restoration has been, just that those 2 small double bands holding the end of the strap down near the buckle were never used by Coach. In fact the entire strap is a replacement, genuine Court Bags from that time period and made before 1997 would have had a 44-inch fixed length strap with no buckle or adjustment.

It seems like black was the original color but I really don't have any experience with dyeing vintage Coaches so that's just a guess.
 
Just looking for authentication on these two items. I have bought the basic bag and paid. I didn't mind so much cause it was £10. Thanks so much in advance!

Both are genuine. The Basic Bag is from the late 1970s or early 1980s. The second is a genuine Chelsea Bag made in 1995.
 
I picked up this heavy leather bag at a yard sale yesterday. The serial number is 285-0745. It measures approximately 10.5” wide and 9” tall. It’s a really pretty charcoal gray color but has a mark on the front which almost looks like tape pulled off the color . I’d love to hear your thoughts on the authenticity, age, style name, etc. if anyone has advice for removing the mark, I would appreciate any and all help . Thank you!
