It;s a genuine Ergo Mini Zip from 1998, but your measurements are a bit larger than the ones in the catalog. The trouble is that we're never sure exactly HOW Coach is measuring their bags. The Spring 1998 book lists style 9020 as 9 1/2 by 7 by 1 3/4 inches with a 21-inch strap.

Basically, that's it. It can be difficult to measure if it's not flat; press down flat. The strap measurement is correct, I usually measure drop, but took the tape around the strap. I measure L x W x H, never paid much attention in math, but they are measuring H x L x W. I think I confused myself. LOL! Thank you Hyacinth, I appreciate your help.
 
Got this purse at a yard sale not sure if it’s authentic cause the font on the creed looks different. Possible Andrea Tote???

height:10 inches
Width at the top: 10 inches
Width at bottom: 11.5 inches
Thanks guys

Here you go! I have the bag in my possession now.
 
Happy Saturday! Could you please authenticate this? Thank you for the (what feels like) hundreds of investigations you've done for me this week! I'm very trigger shy since purchasing 2 fakes as my first vintage coach attempts (before I knew this forum existed). Thank you, truly and genuinely.
