I have also avoided suede items because they are so hard to clean and maintain but now I've bought a white, suede wristlet because it goes with the white nylon hobo (that I shouldn't have bought!) 
This is the last item (for today!) I will additional pics attached to separate message. Thank you again!
Item: White suede wristlet with silver hardware and silver bugle beads
Listing number: NA
Seller: Savers Thrift Superstore ($8)
Link: NA
Dimensions: 7.25 wide, 4.25 high, 0.5 wide
Comments: There is no patch or style number. The Made in China tag does not have a white dot so it was not MFF.
I was wondering if it was sold around the same time as the white nylon hobo because they seem to go together? They may have been part of the same donation.
Anything you can tell me about wristlet (year, name, style number, original price, etc.) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Here's my second purchase. I have always avoided buying light colored bags and lined bags because they are hard to clean, so what did I go and do? I bought a lined, white, fabric bag! Yikes!
I will post additional pics with the next message.
Item: White Nylon Hobo with Suede Trim 1892
Listing number: NA
Seller: Savers Thrift Superstore ($20)
Link: NA
Dimensions: 20 wide along the zipper, 10.5 high, and 4.5 deep
Comments:
It is missing the hangtag and has a YKK zipper (but I know that doesnt really prove anything!) It was made in 2004. Anything you can tell me about bag (name, original price, etc.) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
The satin hobo is authentic.

The Coach bag is authentic. I don't think the other 2 are faked.

Thanks so much. I think the Coach is a 41414 style, Hampton Weekender pouch from around 2008 or so. I hope I'm right.
Thanks again. You guys rock!
Oh dear, they’ve opened a huge, new charity thrift shop in my area and I haven’t even finished with my last batch of rehab projects. I need a different hobby!
I purchased 3 possible coach items today that each offer unique but challenging rehab opportunities. Any rehab advice is always appreciated! I will post additional pics with the next message; here is the first bag:
Item: Green and Tan Crossbody (Spectator?)
Listing number: NA
Seller: Savers Thrift Superstore ($8)
Link: NA
Dimensions: 8.5” high, 11” wide, and 3.5” deep
Comments:
The leather is thick and the bag is well-constructed but although it has a creed patch it doesn’t have a serial/style number. It says “Made in the United States” and has a clearance “bullet” on the creed. The turnlock and hardware are unusual and it has a nylon YKK zipper. The hangtag is made of 2 pieces of leather that were glued together but have come apart.
It is lined with a light brown fabric similar to my Italian Gracie bag. Like Gracie, the creed says that it has been "specially treated to maintain a new appearance over time."
The bag is very unique (to my eyes) but it is made of a delicate material and it is in rough shape, so it will take a lot of TLC to bring it back to beauty. I would appreciate your authentication before I invest the time and effort in trying to rescue it.
Anything you can tell me about bag (year, line, name, style number, original price, etc.) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
It's a Glenwood Bag from the Sheridan line from around 1993, the style # was 4225 and they listed for around $258. I've never tried to give one of those a bath because the pebbled leather wasn't meant to be washed, just wiped off. If you condition it, use a diluted conditioner or put just a bit on a damp cloth and work it into the cloth or it will collect in the "valleys" of the leather, but the leather really wasn't made to absorb liquids like conditioner. The smooth trim and straps can be conditioned normally though. Wipe it off with a textured cloth that can get into all the low spots in the leather, like an old piece of terrycloth.
I personally wouldn't call it delicate unless it's been damaged on the surface, in fact it's probably the toughest line of Coaches ever made. The leather is pretty water-resistant and durable and a lot like Dooney's All-Weather Leather, but again I don't know the condition of your bag. Those were the Coaches I always carried in bad weather and all they ever needed was a wipe-off.
Did you see this one? There's so many of us asking - or did I miss your answer. I've done that before.
Can you authenticate? Thanks in advance.
That's great! I thought of it as "delicate" because of the pebbled leather and the "special treatment" on the creed. The corners are badly rubbed and it is going to need a good cleaning and some attention.
Do you know the style number and why doesn't it have a number on the creed since it is from 1993? Thank you very much!
