Hi authenticators! Sorry for posting again so soon - the mercari seller was unresponsive so I'm hoping to try again with another Janice bag. Does this one look ok?

Item: Coach Vintage Janice Legacy Brown Leather Crossbody Purse Bag.
Listing number: N/A
Seller and site where listed: depop
Link: https://www.depop.com/products/carasellsstuff21-coach-vintage-janice-legacy-brown/
Comments: measurements not listed, I posted all available photos
Although the pictures in the listing appear to be an authentic Janice legacy bag, I'm concerned with another listing from carasellsstuff21 described as "Coach" but which is missing a creed picture and appears to have several red flags. Clearly she knows to show creeds so why would she avoid it in this listing?
 
That's a super fair flag, thank you. I believe I saw Hyacinth say that authentic/original bag hardware never has indentations in the turnlock's top flap (screenshot attached)? If I'm correct in that it may explain why she's hesitant to post the creed on the second one...alas the search continues for a brown bag!

Hi authenticators, I'm looking to see if this is a genuine pre-creed bag.

Item: Pre Creed (Bonnie Cashin bag? Classic shoulder bag? Not sure)

Obtained at a thrift store. The bag is dark brown.

Strap measures ~35"-36". I tested the ball chain and it is not magnetic. Bottom of bag measures just under 4.5", about 4" exactly from stitching stitching.

I believe it's probably fine.

ETA: I wasn't able to find the listing for that coin purse but I did find the seller on Vinted - papaatkaa1:


Please include seller ID and site listed even if the actual listing isn't viewable.
