Dear authenticators, it has been a while, hope you are all fine. I found this purse on Vinted. The link will probably not being accessible anymore, as it is in the sold modus. So I uploaded the pictures for you. Off course I like your 'authentication verdict' before finally accepting. If it is genuine (hoping it is), I would love to get more info on its origin and age as well.

The seller: juana18casares

Thank you as always and looking forward to your response. 💛

How about this red beauty? https://www.ebay.com/itm/226437897830
Item: Vintage Coach City Bag Red Leather Shoulder Bag 9790
Platform: Ebay, Seller: Marilyn7000
Comments: Seller says "painted." I don't care! This ones for me! New York City bag.
It's genuine.

I love the seller's description. So often, we read sellers' complaints that buyers don't read. This seller is very clear in her disclosure - 4 times in description and in the title she mentions "PAINTED."

It's a skinny tote #9546 made in the late 70s or 80s, many years after Bonnie Cashin left the company, but based on one of her designs.

Thank you! She sold the bag one day and it was for sale again the next day! I think a buyer was unhappy, so that's why she edited the description.

Yup, better to be fully transparent than to have an unhappy buyer. At least you know what to expect.

(I'm guessing that it's probably not as bad as it could be based on one of my own experiences. I am not as much of a rehabber as many of the others here and sold a bag that apparently had been polished, unbeknownst to me. It certainly wasn't slathered on as thick as some I'd seen and handled and I missed it.

When the buyer contacted me and requested a partial refund rather than a return, I happily agreed since she was willing and able to do the cleanup.)
 
Item: Worth Crossbody 4143
Where purchased or how obtained: Vinted
Comments: Recently got this bag secondhand and want to check if it's authentic. Material feels nice and soft. Any help would be appreciated 😊
Measurements: 10.5in x 8in x 4.5in

Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your weekend. Could you please authenticate these two bags? Thank you so much for your time!

#1
Item: RARE Vintage COACH GLOVE TANNED COWHIDE LEATHER BAG N0.0228-915 MADE IN U.S.A.
Seller: Coolmom86 at ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/166063391853
Comment: It looks like the 9855 classic hobo, but the shape, the zipper, the inside pocket, and the stitches at the bottom are all different. The creed is also hard to see.

#2
Item: Vintage Coach Colebrooke 2000s Brief Bag
Seller: sweetvenusian at depop
Link: https://www.depop.com/products/sweetvenusian-vintage-coach-colebrooke-2000s-brief/

#1 from Coolmom86 is fake. If you paid for it, ask to cancel. If you haven't paid, don't. (I don't know where she got the serial number and "made in USA" that she states in the title because it says made in Korea!)
#2 is fine.
