It's an authentic Bennett satchel and for $3 you got a deal! (We don't usually discuss prices because there's so much variation but $3 is a great price for anything! You can't even get a Big Mac for that price!)

Thanks so much for your reply!!!

Both are genuine Berkeley Drawstrings from 1996. One seller also calls it a Lulu which isn't correct.

@Hyacinth Thank you so much for your time and expertise! I truly appreciate your time.

Sorry but it's almost impossible to authenticate small items like that. There are no identifiable details that prove it's a Coach. A single stamp really isn't enough. Not only that, but almost all "leather" Coach items made since the early 2000s, both bags and accessories, have some sort of plastic coating on the leather or fabric. The way something smells doesn't prove or disprove anything. It's PROBABLY genuine but that's all I can say for sure.

got it. That definitely made me more at ease. Thank you Hyacinth

Authentic legacy zip.

It's genuine, made in 1997 and part of the "Coach Companions" line from that year. It's never been called an Alesa AFAIK, in the catalogs it's just a Medium Top Handle Tote. The description is in the Summer 1997 catalog, but some probably drugged-up genius photographed a white example against a white background and all you can even see of the bag is the strap buckle in the lower left corner of the 2-page spread. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge, but it won't help much.

Thanks so much for the authentication and the background info, Hyacinth! And thanks also to BeenBurned for the word of caution. Appreciate it.

Can anyone authenticate this bag, please?

I was trying hard to search in google, but zero results. It seems like this model never existed in gathered leather, only denim.
Thank you!
