Item: Coach Large Swinger Bag
Seller and site where listed: Me, Mercari

Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m81...7xQUu7fB0Upa3-RbIq7Ks7W0tLXFKg_EaAhP7EALw_wcB

Comments: Item is my own, potential buyer would like to confirm authentication Measurements: 7”H x 12”W x 3”D

As always, thanks times a bajillion!
The Swinger is genuine, style number 4040 from the Lightweight line and made in the late 1980s. (However, posting a link to your own auction or listing is against forum Rules even if you disclose it in the post. It's considered "advertising". You can post individual photos from the listing but not actual links. The Rules used to be more specific about this but I don't believe they've actually changed.)
Thanks Hyacinth!

Advertisement was certainly not my intention, but I totally understand. Item is marked as sold and inactive from all channels. I will remember this for next time! Your help and attention to detail is very much appreciated
One thing you can do if a buyer wants to confirm authenticity is to refer the buyer here and recommend that she post her request. That's allowed.
 
Please read and follow the instructions in the " IMPORTANT READ-ME " post at the top of each page in this thread. Be sure to include all the Required information in your request.

Oh okay I’m very sorry!

Item: Tabby 26
Measurements: 10” L (25 cm) x 6” H (14 cm) x 2,5” W (6 cm)

The thing that bothers me is this part. It should be 7 cm as far as I know and it’s six only. Could you please be so kind to look at the photos above that I posted previously and tell me whether I got a fake one?

My particular specialty is vintage bags, so I'm going to let one of the authenticators familiar with recent styles, @whateve or @BeenBurned, take a look.

And we still need the information about where you bought it and a link to the listing if it's still available.

I bought it here. It’s a website popular in slavic countries and for example in Kazakhstan.


This woman says that these bags are from USA outlet

It's authentic. When Coach first started using the hardware of this line, the hardware was unstamped and a paper tag was stuck in the bag.
