Hello! Can someone please authenticate these two items? It’s a daypack and a pouch. I’m not sure what kind of zip pouch.
Thank you

The Large Daypack is definitely genuine, made in 1998. The pouch is a cosmetic case, not a wallet as the seller describes. Coach made those cases for close to 2 decades so it's very hard to pin them down and there aren't any measurements. My best guess is a Chunky Case from the late 1990s or early 2000s.

Genuine and made in 2000, as long as you receive the same bag that's in 5 out of the 6 photos. The seller needs to stop using photos "borrowed" from another site and take her own.

BTW, this is the second time I've seen that same "modeling" picture although I don't remember if it was used by the same seller. But that bag in the second photo is a complete FAKE and I really wish sellers would stop using it and whoever posted it and wherever that nasty thing was found, that whoever put it up would take it down permanently and consign it back to the atoms from whence it came. I hope your seller's OTHER photos are of the actual bag that she's selling. ANYONE WHO USES PHOTOS THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY TAKE THEMSELVES IS RISKING LOSING SALES BY POSTING PHOTOS OF A FAKE.

Right now there are copies of that thing in dozens of listings including on Poshmark (no surprise there!), Mercari, Depop and several other sites, mostly in the Far East. This is the photo I'm referring to, often titled or Searchable as "vintage coach willis top handle bag" when it's nothing of the sort, just a cheap counterfeit:
