Hello and good afternoon! Could one of y'all authenticate these two bags I recently won off shopgoodwill.com?

Thank you!

both Willis':
1. Black and brass: https://shopgoodwill.com/item/161683346
2. grey and nickel: https://shopgoodwill.com/item/161683955

Both are genuine. The first is from 1995 and the second from 1999.

I think the strap on the second one has been drastically shortened. The buckle on a genuine UNMODIFIED Coach bag should never be near the top point of the strap no matter which ORIGINAL hole the buckle is set on. That strap doesn't appear to be any longer than maybe 30 inches. One side of the original strap has probably been cut.

In contrast, the strap on the first one actually looks like it might be a bit too long. Willis Bag straps from both years should be 48 inches end to end. Previous owners may have modified them or bought replacement straps but Goodwill should include the strap length in their descriptions.

I asked about this one before, but it didn't have the creed photo for authentication. I got it from shopgoodwill.com. https://shopgoodwill.com/item/160846393 Here are some more photos. It looks GREAT to me, but of course, expert eyes are appreciated! Thanks~ Measures about 11 inches across by 7 inches tall, and 4 inches on the bottom.
