Hi! I found this little wallet thrifting today and am wondering if it's authentic. If it does happen to be, is there any guess on the age or name or anything interesting? Thank you in advance!

Item Name: coach wallet

It's authentic. It's from around 1995 and is part of the Madison collection. I don't know the exact name or style number. Hyacinth probably knows. It's very similar to the Madison continental clutch.
 
It's me again. I would like to sell this pair of sandals and would like it authenticated. As always, thanks in advance for your time and wisdom. :D

They're authentic. And if you're interested in knowing how to read shoe styles, P161 is the style number, Marina is the style name, 6 is the size, B is the width.

In Coach, we don't mind authenticating for sellers but you can't mention selling. If you have an item that you need to have authenticated in the future, just post the pictures. For the rest of the required format, just say that it's not listed anywhere and that you bought second hand (or whatever).

It's a Madison Continental Clutch, style number 4474 from around 1995
I have this catalog picture from 1995 (item d) that doesn't show the name or number. Then I have this picture from another clutch you called 4474. They are different in the number and direction of the pockets. Did Coach use the same style name and number for both?

Oops...sorry. Thank you! :D
 
Yay! I was hoping it was vintage. Thank you so much! And thank you for the additional info! :flowers:

Here's Coach's Fall 1995 catalog page showing the wallet - Whateve's pic is missing the top part showing the Continental Clutch - my fault.

WHATEVE, the second photo is probably the Madison French Purse, 4473. Sorry, it took a while to track down photos of the Madison wallets that showed the insides.

It's so cool to see the catalog photos! Thank you for posting! I think I must have the beechnut color. Or maybe citron.

I think your color is Butter from Spring 1996. This is a different style but looks like your color

ETA - Whoops! Whateve beat me to it.
