Could you please authenticate:
Vintage crossbody
Thrift find

It's authentic. It's part of the Madison collection made in the early 90s.

Someone in the rehab thread might be able to help with restoration. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/

Hello authenticators! I so appreciate you authenticating this vintage Coach Station bag when you get a chance. Not all heroes wear capes!

Item: Vintage COACH 5130 Station Bag
Listing number: n/a
Seller and site where listed: Houseofluxanne; poshmark.com
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintag...urse-Crossbody-Strap-66216617b3ef621e793e06bd

Notes: it looks like “variations” is hyphenated in the creed, which stood out to me as weird

It's authentic.

Buying and selling is not allowed in this thread

Gotcha. Thanks for the message, I’m still new here; figuring it out.

One of the reasons we require site and seller information is so we (or I) can check a seller's history.

Although the Willis you're asking about is authentic, the seller paperspapers does have at least one other listing that is a fake.

Genuine, I believe it was called a Tribeca Shopper made in 1998

Also, please do not spend your time taking photos of the YKK on the zipper. The brand on the zipper has NO relation to whether or not the Coach is authentic. Wherever you found that information, please ignore it and any other information. from that source. That "myth" or "lie" about zipper brands has been known to be wrong for at least 20 years.

ACCURATE and CONFIRMED information about Coaches can be found below in the Salearea Guides researched, written and updated by one of this forum's members, please ignore any other so-called "authenticity guides".

Salearea Guides:

SaleArea guides

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

Thanks so much for education and the link to the guides! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

It looks good. It was probably made in the late 60s.
