It indicates that it was originally sold at boutiques but then transferred to an outlet store to be sold. If you are still concerned, when you get the bag, post a picture of the snap that has writing on it and we'll look at it again.

Hi!

Received this bag in the mail. Man for 1997 and Costa Rica the leather [which is pebbled) does not compare to my vintage Fletcher from Costa rica. Is that expected?

Also here is pic of the snap as you suggested and the hangtag for final verification

I recently purchased this bag at a local rummage. It seems to be a Stewardess bag. Let me know what you think or if more photos are needed.

Thank you for your time.

It's authentic. It is supposed to be pebbled leather. It is from a different line than your Fletcher.

Hi

Please can you authenticate and provide a style ref/name for this beauty?

Where purchased: Vinted UK
Seller: keiram2701

Link:

Comments: Seems to be a Python Foldover Clutch. No creed/label apart from Made in China brown tag.
Measures approx 11.5 x 10.5. Contrast leather edges are pearlised

Many thanks as always

I'd like to see the made in China label.

I cannot authenticate it one way or the other.

But there are details that make me a bit uncomfortable:
  • On care cards for specialty material items, I cannot recall having seen cards that didn't state what the "specialty" material is. Those I recall (without having pictures of them) seemed to have the material (buffalo leather, snakeskin, etc.) with specific direction on caring for that material
  • sealant on the Coach patch on the front is uneven
  • the heat-embossed border is uneven - close to top edge and further in on the bottom

The stitching on the trim on both left and right sides is quite uneven and the varying stitch length seems wrong:

The bag shown on Mercari is authentic but the seller doesn't appear to verify her items as there are a mix of genuine and fakes.


She has this fake (which was also listed by the seller - jenn_848798 - ebay but it was removed):

and this: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m54427449087

and this: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m40016362961/?ref=search_results

There may be more but with over 300 Coach listings, I can't go through all.
