It's authentic. The style is "HML" large hobo, either "Hamilton" or "Hamptons" and afaik, the actual collection hasn't been determined as no one has been able to find a Coach catalog with the actual name.

ETA: I will add that my belief is that it's Hamilton and NOT Hamptons.

Just as "Sabrina" refers to boutique styles and "Ashley" is the similar MFF version, I believe that "Hamilton" is the MFF collection of similarly styled "Hamptons" bags.
 
Thrift store purchase. Please, and thank you for taking a look at this to see if it looks authentic. Half price day at the Savers! :smile:View attachment 6142231View attachment 6142232View attachment 6142233View attachment 6142237
The bag is authentic.

I find Saver's prices are all over the place.

I was at one yesterday and saw a leather wristlet (MFF) in the locked case for $39.99. (At least it was authentic!) There was also a fake station bag in the same case for $79.99.

But I recently found a genuine Dooney for $5.99 on the regular rack.

You really have to know prices, know authenticity and be diligent.
