I found this lovely bag while thrifting. Could you please help me to authenticate? It measures 13" x 1/2" x 9. The hang tags print has almost vanished. Thank you for your help.

It's authentic. It's a slim clutch large made late 70s or early 80s.
Odd about the hangtag - those are usually deeply stamped. I don't believe it came with that bag. I'm not even sure it is authentic.

Hello! I would appreciate your help in authenticating this (hopefully) Coach bag. I purchased this from a thrift shop several years ago, and have had it packed away ever since. It measures approximately 9.25" L x 5.5" H (at center of purse, in the dip of the curve) x 3" W center bottom seam. Strap drop approx 20.5" Thank you!WC57C55fSrOnD%NlAsw7VQ.jpg4R5lIamNRO2lFDhvYeaEGA.jpgXGZYxmvfTpW5jsSS+amkYQ.jpgHDizdrt4R4uB%QuyMT9WIw.jpgkOM+MZfZRJuATEkZex+O%g.jpgUJnUCtf2RcWMjZNWb1i5UA.jpgWC57C55fSrOnD%NlAsw7VQ.jpg4R5lIamNRO2lFDhvYeaEGA.jpgXGZYxmvfTpW5jsSS+amkYQ.jpgHDizdrt4R4uB%QuyMT9WIw.jpgkOM+MZfZRJuATEkZex+O%g.jpgUJnUCtf2RcWMjZNWb1i5UA.jpgVUh0l1P3RWqD1sVl7LUc5w.jpgl+EbuZi9RMictA3uVApo3g.jpg3WwMmH1xRy6pjoYcDOP%MA.jpgHbxsjPyyTx2pXlfeek0UEA.jpg+ej3is14RUK4yOThz2VXXw.jpgZBoLow76QW+a7rpGVAT6RA.jpg

It's authentic. It's a small swinger, made between 1989 and 1993.

One more tonight! Please and thank you for looking. https://poshmark.com/listing/Blue-p...h-drawstring-bag-399-64a01457c9a228a38cae8b1c
Poshmark, seller: sammygirld
Item: Blue pebbled leather brown trim Coach drawstring bag 399
Measures: approx 12 inches wide by 12 inches high by 5.5 inches across the bottom.
Comments: you guys already authenticated the smaller bag for me (thank you, again). What about this larger, similar looking mystery bag. I can't find any like it on the internet. Is it authentic, and if so, do you know the style? Thank you in advance. ETA: I found an image. Is it a 4229 Darcy Drawstring?

Just a comment on the seller. (I don't promote Poshmark.)

Beware of mixers. The seller is also sammygirld on ebay although it looks like she's more careful on ebay since ebay acts on sellers who list fakes.

The Poshmark seller sammygirld sold this fake:

And this was sold:

If the measurements match the catalog description, that's what it is. It's fine.
