I saw those listings and wondered where the seller had gotten so many of them. I need to find a Japanese collector!

There's nothing to indicate that they're anything but authentic. Congratulations.

Thanks so much BeenBurned! I guess I got lucky this time! If they weren't authentic I would really be kicking myself for buying so many :)

Whateve, I am insanely jealous of your Tony Duquette fob! That is the one I have been searching for the longest! The only reason I have these is because of my daily online quest for that fob! No luck so far :(

I know! That's why I mentioned it! Aren't I terrible? :D You must have an absolutely amazing collection! Do you collect any other brands?

Hi! I have a few more key fobs that I was hoping to get authenticated. Let me know if you need any other photos :)

I am dying for the blue crab! Seriously, WANT! Nice haul.

All look good. The first was probably called Hamilton Large Hobo; it was made for factory. The second one is a flatiron zip and the last two are swing zips.

Thanks, Whateve.

I see this MFF hobo called Hamilton and Hamptons. I keep my eye out for one with a price tag though I vaguely remember a discussion where there was no consensus if HML was Hamptons leather or Hamilton?

I love the Swing zip (sort of squat) but have concerns I won't like the double straps.

Much appreciated.

You're welcome!
I vaguely remember that discussion. I believe someone had proof there were styles called Hamilton. I saw a price tag for this bag with the abbreviation HML, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Hamil...850?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item418cc9f0c2 I think someone might have suggested that it could stand for Hampton's Leather but if you read this tag it says "HML LTH SATCHEL" http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Coach-H...526?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item339a87ed86 What else could HML stand for?

Sometimes I like shoulder bags with double straps. I can leave one strap on my shoulder while I unzip it and reach inside.

ETA: What is confusing is that the styling of that supposedly Hamilton bag is so similar to a Hampton's hobo. I think Hamilton might be the factory version of Hamptons.

I guess you've probably seen my near begging for that fob in the 'Help! Find this Coach item" thread :) I'm still hoping one will come along at a reasonable price one day, but I'm beginning to lose hope. Generally I prefer the leather fobs, but that is the one metal fob that I think is absolutely beautiful! I got started collecting these much too late and missed so many great ones :(

I don't really collect any other brands, although I do have a handful of Juicy charms. I'm kind of afraid to even look at any other brands, because as you can see, I have a tendency to go a little overboard when I like something :)

Boy, do I know what it means to go overboard! I have some Juicy charms and fobs too. I bought a few keychains on Etsy when I couldn't buy the Coach leather feather. I didn't get a feather but once I started looking, I found some I didn't know I needed!

I hope you find your Tony Duquette someday. If you had found it when you first started looking, you wouldn't have amassed such a wonderful collection.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that my Tony Duquette practically fell in my lap. I don't believe I was looking for it in particular but when I saw it listed on ebay new with tags for 30% off retail, I jumped. At the time, it was still available in stores. I don't think I've seen it on ebay since, even for a ridiculous price.

Thank you to BeenBurned, noshoepolish, and Hyacinth for the replies. Unfortunately, the bag was already in the mail by the time I got a request in, but I'll take a picture of the creed when it arrives.

Color is cognac. Coach Andrea Satchel. 13x8x7. $598. Natural, black, cognac, fatigue and white. The natural was more orangy.

Ah, Coach. Never one to make things easier to classify and understand.
Thanks Whateve!
