This cutie looks genuine but I have questions about the creed and lining. Others of this style I find online (and presume/hope are genuine) have “Coach” on the lining and this one does not. The Creed is hard to read and looks a little questionable.

Item: Black Leather Coach Mini Handbag
Seller: Jessica Geo
Site: Facebook Marketplace

Thank you for your time!
It's fine. This bag has lozenge lining too. You can see several "Coach" logos. The most obvious is to the left of the fold on the left side of the creed.
That’s great to hear; thank you! Do you know the style and year manufactured?
I don't know the official name of style 9844 but I have a record calling it leather demi hobo. The bag in the Facebook listing was made in 2001.

Update: It might a a legacy west demi.
 
Hi authenticators, please help me determine if this bag is real. Thank you!!

Item: vintage worth shoulder bag
Seller and site where listed: Poshmark seller erinpaige3

Someone else might authenticate the bag you've asked about but my comment is on the seller, erinpaige3. The seller ripped someone off for $140 on this fake:

And $100 for this:

Another fake sold:

Personally, I'd recommend another seller.

Genuine, it looks like a Pocket Drawstring style 4021 from the Lightweight line and made in the early 1990s

Genuine, but besides the seller not bothering to authenticate a highly-faked brand, one end of the strap looks like it hasn't been punched correctly.

Thanks - completely agree and now I know to take a look at the seller's history before purchasing bags. Passing on this one for sure.
 
Good evening dear authenticators! A request to authenticate please. Thank you!

Item: Waverley (I think)
Where purchased or how obtained: thrift store
Comments: dimensions are 13" width as measured at top, 5" depth, 8" height. This one has only one zip pocket on the interior back wall while others have both a zip and on the other interior wall also a slip pocket hence I am a bit concerned.
