Just want to add a comment about meenjee.

She has this fake:
Vintage COACH British Tan Leather WINNIE MINI WILLIS Crossbody Satchel *RARE

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-COA...902653?hash=item41a4736ebd:g:7zEAAOSwGotWsGER


And she sold this fake:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-C...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557


I personally don't recommend meenjee.

Eta: This is another fake meenjee sold:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-COA...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Thanks so much Been Burned and Whateve. When Whateve remarked about the "terrifying beautiful" description, I went back and re-read the seller's typed description and I didn't feel comfortable about the bag. Thanks for your opinion! Will skip this one!

Thank you for the assistance!

#1 is fake and should be reported. Besides the J factory code and the wrong font, 1996 is way too early for this style.
2 and 3 are authentic.
#2 looks like a Madison Spence bag 4400 from 1993.
You're correct about the items in #3.

Thanks! So glad to have found this website!

I've never seen it in silver either, but the details are the same as on the gold one.

Oh my gosh! Ugh! I didn't even pick up on that! How did I miss that!?!?

I'm sorry. I have no idea why they're different. I also notice (now that there are side by side comps) that Pegasus is different too.

I wonder what Hyacinth thinks accounts for the differences.

 

[JOODLZ]

Could someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
From GW 50% off President's Day…
Approx. 10.75"w x 8.125"h x 4.5"d. Straps 9" to buckles.
1997 #9086 but I'm stumped for a name And did this color have a specific name?
Thanks in advance for any info.

There are also tiny differences in the pink hangtag. And NONE of the others including the drilldown photo have a second keychain on the keyring itself. Usually Coach doesn't put a hangtag on the ring if there are already hangtags on the chain part.

The drilldown pic does show a darker blue background on the Cloud charm but none of the others do except the one being questioned.

It's always possible that the one from Bautista05_22 is a remake for the Factory stores, that wiould explain the small differences and the fact that the Pegasus on that one doesn't have a crystal for its eye since Coach tends to skimp on crystals in MFF pieces. Here's the original from Coach but it's not much help.

I'm going to call it Questionable.

It looks ok, 9086 is a Legacy Small Shopper. The color is probably Glacier although it doesn't look exactly like the catalog, here's the Holiday 1997 pic

Here's the original from Coach but it's not much help.

As for the lozenge hanging from the key right, I can recall at least one other (pet multi mix 92114) that has both an enamel charm on the chain and a nickel one on the ring, however if Coach were doing cost-cutting measures for the MFF version, I wouldn't consider adding another charm as a savings. KWIM?

Additionally, this was such a popular and HTF fob that if there were a MFF version, why is this the first and only time we've seen it?

Here are side by sides of the hangtag. I DO see the tiny differences.
