The corners are like that to allow for expansion, I believe. This is the only style I remember having those.

Catching up on some reading here.
This was in reference to the corner seams in the Convertible Clutch. The vintage open Marketing Tote has them.

Dear Authenticators,

Is this brief the real deal? Hope so as the seller is waiting for me to finalize the sale. I hope you don't mind my asking but at the time when Coach had "leather label stickers" to indicate the bag's number, does it make it harder to authenticate a bag? Who's to say that a label can be easily replaced! I have no doubt expert authenticators have cunning ways Thanks so much.

It's authentic. Not Bonnie Cashin. Probably made early 80s. No, it isn't harder to authenticate from this time period. Sometimes the number fell off -- we can still authenticate them without the number as there are so many elements besides the number we look at.

It wouldn’t surprise me if some other really vintage bags we’re not looking at all the time have them too.
Edited for atrocious grammar!

Seller is arguing with me. Says some random yahoo on a blog online is not a credible authentication. !!!

It's not a very smart seller then!

Now she (I'm guessing it's a very young she) has given me ebay feedback warning others about me because I'm a "scammer trying to get a refund" and "lying."
