I had a vision of one of our resident Coach experts dragging a 150 lb. tortoise through the yard, that would be a sight to behold! I'd use a furniture dolly & save your back.

He is too heavy to lift up onto something that has wheels. We had a special slide built. First I tried a deer slide, used to move deer when hunting, and it tore! Once we get him on the aluminum slide, we can put up the sides to keep him from walking off until we get him where we want him to go. Luckily we've only had to do it a few times. I think he hates it as much as we do. Once he remembers he is supposed to go in his house every night, he is usually pretty good about it.

Hi I’m hoping you can help me authenticate this. My mom got this basic bag years ago from a garage sale and I decided to give it a bath, polished the hardware, and used Leather CPR on it. I’m wondering if this is even authentic. Any expertise would be appreciated! It’s 11” wide x about 7” tall x 2.25” in depth. Thank you in advance!

It's authentic, made late 80s or early 90s.

Next time don't post a link to your listing. Do you have a picture of the back of the wallet where the zippered pocket is?

Thank you for your quick response! Unfortunately, I somehow didn't take a photo of the back, even in the listing and the wallet is currently not in my hand.. I did ask a favor to have the buyer send me a photo so I will get back when I hear back. If not, I'll just accept the return.

I'm pretty sure it is authentic. Seeing the back would make me completely sure.

I understand since the zipper element is a unique part of this wallet. It did have one at the back as I remember opening it.

Buyer is not responding so I won't be getting an additional pictures at this moment. Regardless, I truly appreciate your time and expertise.

Nice deal! Yes, it's authentic.

She doesn't show measurements but it looks like a basic bag but with a missing shoulder/crossbody strap.

EDIT: Ugh! kallorymahl doesn't verify her items though.

She sold this fake.

I just got a response and they claimed I sold a fake wallet because the zipper pull says 'ECLAIR'.. I don't even know where to begin..

Anyways, they were nice enough to send me photos. I am going to refund the person but I just need to prove that the item was authentic. This always hurts me the most.

Ugh! Another buyer who believes those online guides touting the "YKK zipper myth."

The wallet is absolutely authentic.

Feel free to refer the buyer to TPF if she wants reassurance.

Thank you SO MUCH @BeenBurned ! Thank you for your validation. I did not want to get into the 'let me teach you' mode about this hardware issue so I'll just let it slide and refund while making my point that what I sold was NOT a fake.

I think the hardware concern was also possibly stemming from the assumption that the zipper pull should have also said 'Coach'. Oi

Thank you @whateve as well.
