Hi,
Is this bag authentic?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...077?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1e9830586d

seller ID orlandobaba123
item num. 131402324077

What green colors did Coach have in these styles of duffles from the 90's? I've seen olive and hunter and also written in a vintage ad as lime, but this one looks more like a leaf green

I think it was called lime but the pictures are pretty accurate to what it really looks like. It's a beautiful color. This is a Helen's Legacy, so it is the medium size, not the duffle sac. It's authentic.

There was a color called bottle green in the 90s, forest green in the 80s, and olive, which might have been called sage in the 80s, and lime or possibly kiwi in the 90s.

ETA: did you read the seller's feedback? 9 negatives in a year!

Did the duffle sac come in lime and bottle green? Is bottle green a med green?

Wow that is a deal for a red one. My black one and mocha one, both NYC, were part of a lot and worked out at about $12 each shipped. That's a JOODLZ bargain in my book! :D I just sold the black one to a Japanese buyer. That bag is well travelled! Sorry OT.

Yeah...I though so too! Wait til you see what I found today...even cheaper!

It must be "Dinky" day...Could someone please have a look at this one?
From GW today...way under the radar...out with the cheap purses :) I'm thinking it might be navy. Only a bath will tell.
Approx. 8.75"w x 5"h x 2"d. Strap 24 to sewn-on attachment.
Late 80's-early Dinky Bag...maybe #6375 cause it's a spectator?
Thanks in advance!

Should have said "late 80's-early 90's"...typing too fast for my brain.
I'll bet Coach never considered my iPhone 6+ would barely fit...LOL!

Bottle green is a little lighter than forest green. The duffle sac came in both of these in the 90s and the forest green in the 80s.

Item: Coach Hulme Doony bag purse satchel saddle vintage leather black small
Item no: 261725222152
Seller: candydarlings
Link: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Coach-Hu...hB4P%2Bpbfa8SxqSvk9DY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Contact: I meant to ask about this before it ended. I didn't bid. Hulme? Dooney? The position of the buckle on the strap looks too high. Is it authentic?
Click to expand...
No way to tell. The seller is keyword spamming. If it is authentic, the strap must have been shortened. If you tighten it any more the buckle would be on the top of your shoulder. You can see in this listing how it is supposed to look: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-COA...977?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2a4a3c8e31

Trying to get negative feedback revised. Buyer does not think bag is vintage, leather, or authentic. I'm thinking maybe they are not familiar with COACH lightweight leather. Thank you.

The bag is authentic and it is vintage and it is leather. I'm sure the problem is that it is a Lightweight. I had a similar problem with a Sheridan. Won't ebay require proof from a paid authenticator?

I always look at your listings when I encounter a style I'm unfamiliar with. I've learned a lot from you!
