Genuine and made in 2004. I believe it was called a Soho Mini Signature Flap Bag.

Sorry attached some of the photos. And it appears to be 10” across the bottom and about 7” across the top.

Genuine and probably made in or around 1993. It was called a Dixon Mini, style number 4124 and is from the Lightweight line. From the Spring 1993 catalog:

Hello! Do any of you authenticate Coach jewelry? Thanks for your time!

Name: Heart Shaped Pendant with Pink Background
Size: just under 1 inch
Where found: in a box of jewelry from a family member

It's authentic. Are you talking about the verdigris on the brass? It can happen. It probably happens more in humid environments. That turnlock looks worse than most. You can use brass polishing products on it but I don't know if you would ever get that turnlock perfect. You can buy replacements turnlocks if you prefer. Often the zipper chain won't shine up at all as it is worn down to a base metal.

Thanks for clarifying. For whatever reason, I thought it was corrosion of some sort versus verdigris. And then I looked at the word verdigris, a French riff on green and grey.... Brain blips!

Thanks again!

Good to know, had a feeling when I couldn’t find any similar ones on Ebay. Will throw it out - thanks again!

Oh, and seeing the real one, I now know it’s doing a really bad job at being copy!

If you take some time to look through our Vintage Catalog thread in the Coach Reference Library beginning in about 1987 and going through 1993, you'll find a section on the Lightweights in almost every catalog.

The style numbers usually but not always begin with 40** or 41**. Coach started renaming the style line "Soho" starting around 1993.
