Hello,
Can you please authenticate this bag?

None Available

Measurements:
Width- 11 1/2 inches wide
Height - 8 1/2 inches tall

If anyone has the correct name of the bag, that would be great!

Thanks to everyone
Lee Anne
It's authentic. I don't know the exact name. It was called something like Hampton's belted suede carryall.

It's genuine and was made in 2005.The exact name isn't in my files but the style numbers on either side of this one are for a Hamptons Suede Satchel 8A77 at 11x7 inches and a Hamptons Suede Large Carryall 8A79 at 15x10 inches, both of those from exactly the same time period. Yours is most likely a size variation of one of those two Hamptons Suede styles. I'm thinking it's a Hamptons Carryall because of the shape of the handles.

Here's the 8A79 Hamptons Suede Large Carryall which looks like a twin to yours except for the probable size difference:

I would pay that in a heartbeat! I paid about that when I bought mine many years ago and mine is just BT. It is an authentic ruff out watermelon tote made around 1976. They are very hard to come by.
 
Always use caution when buying from brand-new sellers on Ebay.

This one not only couldn't be bothered to putting any effort into reading or researching the actual serial/style number, but also lists the bag as being made in the United States when it actually says in the creed that it was made in Hungary. And as you already mentioned, it's not a Rambler OR a Rambler's Legacy or ANY kind of Legacy style, but is apparently a Court Bag although the serial number is almost unreadable.

Because I can't be 100 percent certain that the serial number is valid even though a fake with a "Hungary" creed is almost unheard-of, I'm going to say "probably OK" but that seller has a long way to go before I'd consider buying anything from them. Giving a name to something because it kinda sorta maybe looks a tiny bit like some other style on Ebay is NO way to be selling Coaches in today's market.

Not mentioning what looks like a damaged area on the front of the bag that's partly and possibly deliberately hidden by the hangtag PLUS what looks like several another stain, maybe water stains, lower on the front doesn't give me warm fuzzy feelings about the seller either. With only 3 very poor photos when Ebay allows 12 means that there may be other hidden problems as well. Even if it sells for the starting price there's no way I'd personally buy it without seeing A LOT more photos. Ebay's condition definition of "Pre-owned" says
"Pre-owned
An item that has been used or worn previously. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections."
which means the seller should be STATING any imperfections in the description, NOT just showing them in the photos.

Other opinions are welcome.
Hyacinth,

Thank you so much for your advice and for looking at the bag listing. I agree with you that this seller is not up to par with the listing. In fact, I requested some more specific pictures and haven’t received any response. I think I will keep looking. I appreciate simple wisdom like more photos and looking for experienced sellers. Good tips! The hunt continues…
 
In the middle of rehabbing, I realize that I hadn't had this bag authenticated. Please and thank you for telling me my GORGEOUS Metropolis is legit. (I love this bag.) To be honest, I don't remember where I got it, it's been months. I'm pretty sure it was shopgoodwill online, but I can't find any active link. It measures about 9.5 inches wide by 7 inches tall by 3 inches across the bottom.
