Thank you in advance!

The first 3 are authentic. The last one doesn't have the pictures necessary to authenticate. Since it is a new style, we need a picture of the creed as well as pictures of any labels inside the pockets.

#1 and #3 are Broadway satchels from around 1989-1990. They have no connection with Bonnie Cashin as she left Coach in 1974. They were never called "Speedy" as that is a registered trademark of Louis Vuitton. It appears that one of the sellers copied their title from the other, or they both copied it from someone else.
#2 is a Beaumont satchel from 1999. It is not quite vintage.

It's fine.

It's fine.

Oh thank goodness! Thanks, Whateve, especially for putting me out of my misery quickly! Over in Rehab thread, you'll soon see another bad decision I made while sick...

Are you medicating with coach bags? I snapped up one too....I don't feel much better, but I have a vachetta legacy stripe lined treasure to look forward to. Once I get it, it's on to the rehab thread. Actually, I was planning on getting back to work my stew and laptop bag, but I feel like I was hit by a bus. Feel better soon!!!

Whateve is correct with the latter. Both laffincrow and struc2nd copied their titles from this seller's listing which ended on March 15:

Thanks in advance for your help!

Looks to me to be a style #9375 Dinky, late 1970s to mid 1980s, but I'm not an expert. Other opinions welcome.

I agree.

 

[lorish]

Both are authentic. The first was made in the early 90s, the second in 1996.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
I won the first item so I'm suuuuper excited

I plan to restore it so hopefully that turns out okay.

 

[BeenBurned]

I'm interested in opinions on this item.

Note that the seller has a rather checkered history of listing a mix of authentic and fake items often many hangtags and charms removed from bags combined with other hang tags that were from fakes.

I don't remember Coach using that kind of clip, but I'll check my files after dinner. But the biggest red flag is that none of the metal colors and finishes match the other components. Some of the parts are antiqued but the chain isn't. And the fakes always seem to go much too heavy on the antique-ing, like what I'm seeing on the clip.

Here's 94370, the charm that was sold separately...

and the charm "bracelet" that came with a Hamptons Leather Satchel, style 12444.

Soho Satchel styles 12692 and 12695 had something similar, I'll try to find a clearer picture. Here's the charm from the smooth leather version 12695, it doesn't even have a clip of any kind and might not have been removeable

And there was 67385 with multicolor charms, but that's not really close. Theses are the only Horse and Carriage charms in my files that are close to the one you're asking about. And I can't find ANYTHING with that style of clip.

I don't think Coach ever used that type of clip.

Zealous, I saw your previous (pre-edited) post and used the picture from it to make the following side-by-side comp.

IMO, it's rather telling because I think there are significant differences between both the wheels and the hang tag in us2014_elah vs. an authentic version.

Note that the spokes on the wheels are indented from the edge of the wheel on the authentic version vs. lining up evenly on us2014 elah's version. There is also a difference in the look of the font on the hang tag.
