Thanks for all of your help.

This one is so....please tell me my instincts aren't wrong here! The hangtag and the creed...?

Item: 10013-0000-52537

Name: Vintage Regina Bag British Tan Glove Leather Top Handle Crossbody With COA​

Website: www.goodwillfinds.com

Link: https://www.goodwillfinds.com/women...-crossbody-with-coa/10013-0000-52537.htmlName:

The photos on the page arn't working with my browser. Maybe another authenticator can take a look.

The bag is authentic, made in 2000 but the "COA" company has incorrect info and they exaggerate the value of the bag.

  • They state the serial prefix as K09 when creed picture shows K0P.
  • They state the price/value as $550

Greetings! I would very much appreciate your opinion on this - I lost out on one bidding on Goodwill.com, and now want to buy one because they are so pretty... :smile: Thank you!

Item: Legacy Turnlock Anniversary Bridgit
Seller and Site: whimseys-daughter on Ebay
Listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204149086347
What I see seems fine but a better picture of the creed would have been more useful.

In addition to authentication, can you please let me know if this one has been mis-identified as a convertible clutch? Measurements of this bag, according to seller, are 9.5 x 6 x 2. I've read that a 9635 covertible clutch measures 11 x 7 x 2. Thanks for your expertise!

I'm curious - how does someone become a "Licensed Professional" authenticator? What organization does the licensing? It's the first I've heard of this.

Unfortunately my ancient browser can't open or enlarge the photos. If you can post a photo of the outside base of the bag and maybe one of the outside bottom corners I might be able to answer your question. Thanks!

ETA- a photo that shows if there's an OPEN outside pocket on the back would help too. From the proportions in the one photo I can actually see it looks like the seller's measurements may be correct. If so it might be a Pocket Purse 9755.

ETA- a 9635 Convertible Cluch should have an inside ZIPPED pocket.
