Hi, I wanted see if someone could be kind enough to take a look at this Avenue bag I just received. It’s quite heavy and plastic-y feeling compared to my other vintage coach bags. Here’s a link the the posting on Mercari with photos.

It looks authentic. It might feel plasticky from something that was used on it. There are leather paints made with acrylic that if put on too thick will feel like plastic. I had an Avenue bag at one time. I don't remember it being particularly heavy for the size.

Hi Authenticators!
May I ask you to look into this one? I just realized that other pictures of this same key fob has a sturdier looking drawstring (actually sewn drawstring) than mine which is just a long strip of unstitched leather. I got from a friend as a gift so not sure of the origin.

Item: key fob
Where purchased or how obtained: given to me
Comments: hope it's real!!

Genuine. Although even after the 11 years since this one was made, we're STILL not sure if the "family" it was part of was called Hampton or Hamilton, it's one of the Factory Stores' enduring mysteries.

It' won't be vintage until 2030.

May I ask for some help authenticating this bag. It’s supposedly F43-9620 although the creed photo is very dark . Thanks!

Thanks Hyacinth - I appreciate all that you and the rest of the Authenticators do
