Both listings you've asked about are for authentic bags.

But the second seller, Authentic Designer Collections, has a history. I don't know whether the seller is knowingly selling fakes with inaccurate COAs or if she blindly trusts those companies, but there are fakes being sold for big bucks.

Oh boy! Thanks for the scoop, BeenBurned! I should have thought to search, I missed those posts in the Hall of Shame thread.

I ended up buying a different one because I realized I had two in my watchlist and this seller accepted my offer (with shipping was lower than the quoted seller's total). Posting it here for the once-over.

It's authentic, made in 2003.
 
Hello Authenticators! At your convenience would you have a look at this one? Thank you!

Item: 9565 Shopping Bag Large
Source: GW
Measurements: 12.5w x 14h x 3.5d, strap drop 9-9.5
Comments: Has a hangtag but can’t be original — looks vintage but not vintage enough, double-sided and not “Leatherware.” Everything else looks good. The zipper is interesting — the gauge is enormous and the fabric of the zipper tape takes me back to “the olden days.”

Thank you!! 🙏🙏
