It's authentic.

Thanks, BeenBurned! First real suede rehab and it's a doozy.

Could I get some authentication feedback on these two Goodwill bags? Thank you!

Item: Swing wallet
Dimensions: 6W, 4T (closed; 10.5 open), 25.5 strap drop
Seller: Goodwill (in my possession)
Comments: same alternate zipper others have posted (I think)

It looks fine. I think later versions had the zipper like yours and other 90s wallets.

Thanks so much! Filing away that zipper info...

When I first looked at those pictures, I thought the stitching looked sloppy, no?

I enlarged the picture hoping to show detail.

It does look sloppy. I compared it to this picture. It has the overlap in the same place as the tan one.

Could the kind authenticators give me an opinion about these two wallets? TIA

One is at a thrift show and the other at Goodwill, if authentic I will purchase. Sorry if not enough pictures, I rushed to get them.

I don't know whether you saw my revised post. I marked the image to show my concerns.

In your picture, IMO the tan one looks neater than both your black one as well as better than the one in question.

I will defer to your opinion though I'm surprised that one would have passed QA.

The top Soho wallet looks fine based on 2 pictures.

I'm not familiar with the bottom one though I don't see any obvious problems.

Thanks! It's fun to solve a mystery.

Thanks all! Great investigative skills!

I haven't seen this exact wallet (no. 2) but there was a line of accessories with the tab and loop closure made in the early 90s. It looks fine to me.

Most wallets were made outside the US, and there's a good chance those offshore plants' QC was a bit looser.

I really appreciate the thoughtfulness and time you all put into evaluating this wallet. I greatly value your feedback.
