ok so instead of BIN the red bag I had posted earlier I found a different one going for a better price but it was an auction and I found it last minute and JUST WON!!!
Double checking how I did with authenticity before I pay. I'm having some insane internet connectivity issues everything is timing out on me including ebay so I put in my high bid with about 15min left in the auction and won the bag just barely!

Girl, you got yourself a SCHWEEEET deal! I can't believe you got the original booklets too. Definitely genuine - go for it!

It says in the listing that product inserts are not included :( But I'm going to message the seller anyway and see if they will be nice and throw them in for me just because it would be nice to have and I doubt it would cost a ton more in shipping to include them.
I'm paying a butt load in shipping anyway because I am in Canada LOL so maybe they will be nice and just throw them in there...

edit: ugh will have to pay for it tomorrow when my sister isn't on her laptop at the same time as I'm on mine...Apparently the check out process is too much for my internet connection to handle because everything is all scrambled up and no amount of refreshing is fixing it.
 
I fixed the links.

The first one appears to be some type of planner case that also holds a PDA. It looks good. It's style 4566.

The second looks fine too. (I think it's style 4869.)
 
I finally got through to pay for the bag! My connection is really cutting out tonight ugh! Will be happy when there are more internet provider options where we live...We pay for high speed wireless but the wireless portion of it only works when it feels like it.

I got a message back from the seller and the booklets are not included unfortunately :( That's ok though I was kind of expecting that answer since it was stated in the auction. I'm still super stoked to get a unique looking red bag for my growing collection and it has the original box at least!

Has anyone been able to get dust bags from Coach? I have three vintage bags now and no place to store them! I was wondering if Coach would send dust bags like they do hang tags or if I would be able to get them in store maybe for a small fee? I would like to have official dust bags for them but if not I will just make my own white ones or something instead of paying the ridiculous prices on ebay.
 
Is one of these agenda planners fake? Or did Coach make 2 different versions of it??
One of the agenda has a gold logo on the front turnlock and the inside has the coach horse carriage symbol in the insde.
The other one doesn't...

This link doesn't have gold logo

This link DOES have the gold logo

The first one looks okay (as far as I can tell).

The second one is fake.
 
Nice! Now that I am learning more I'm excited to look at more bags!

BTW, it's called a Girlie Hair Calf Hobo and it's from 2001. All the Girlie-style bags and quite a few other styles used that kind of hangtag in 2001.

Nice find, congratulations!

We are bag siblings! I recently picked up a wool Girlie Hobo in a hound's tooth pattern, trimmed with lamb nappa at the thrift store. They are special little bags! Here's an "after rehab" pic of my little Girlie!

WHAT!!!! Why show the inserts if they aren't included?

Whether or not the seller sells authentic, IMO, that raises red flags in my mind. If the paperwork came from that bag, there's no reason not to include it with the purchase. The only reason (IMO) not to include the props would be so the seller can use them in another listing, but why????

That was what I thought...unless they didn't come with that bag but a different one and then they use them in all older listings? I don't get the reason behind it, but at least it was stated they weren't included cause I would have been some pissed otherwise.

If you're going to make them yourself, give your bags a treat and make them from a nice cozy flannel. :D

That's a shame about the booklets - it's always nice to have all the goodies that originally came with the bag. Let's hope that the bag itself makes up for it.

good idea :) I have been looking on ebay for official coach dust bags but when you factor in canadian shipping they can be expensive! I may just check out fabric and make my own drawstring bags. Maybe I could sew or embroider a coach logo on them and pretend LOL

I'm so excited for this bag to show up idk how I am going to be able to wait! Hoping mail isn't too backlogged so that it at least shows up soon! I'm waiting on some pandora to show up from ebay too and it's' been awhile. I told myself I wouldn't buy anything else online until those arrived to make sure they shipped within the time for ebay claims, but I had to break that ban for this bag.
