If it is indeed authentic could anyone please let me know what year it came into circulation as well as what a fair resale price would be for this small but cute purse? Thank you.

It looks fine. That particular bag was made in 2003.

As for price, we can't suggest prices but advice that you do searches, both by style number (4771) and also search generic terms to see if that item comes up. See what they've sold for.

Once again, Thank you so much & I will do my research on fair pricing. May I ask one more question? Do you only specialize in Coch handbags? The reason I ask is because you always get back with me on my questions rather quickly. There are other brands I have enlisted advice on but either I do not get a response or it take a bit of a time. So...is Coach your only specialty?

It appears to be an authentic bag from 2006. My suggestion for value is the same as above.

Fake. Please report! This is a listing that could fool a buyer.

You're welcome.

I generally respond to the questions about Coach, Dooney and on the shoes AT (the glass slipper), I respond to some of the Uggs questions when I can answer them.

Some brands are busier than others and it can take longer to get responses.

Remember, too, that we come here as time allows. Sometimes, between home, family, job, and other real-life obligations, we can't always answer as quickly as posters would like.

Please do not get me wrong by any means. I understand that everyone's schedule is busy & that I am not the #1 priority. What everyone is doing here is a wonderful service that Iam truely truely grateful for. It is a service to me and all others that is a blessing in so many ways. i am not rushing by any means. It is just that you are so quick to respond and that is a double blessing that led me to inquire about what your pecialties are. Thank you & everyone on this site who does all of us a service that you do not have to do. :)

Thanks, BB! I reported this earlier today and they still have not removed it. Hopefully, everyone here can help out :-).

While I agree that the bag is authentic and the seller is reputable, IMO, high volume or not, a seller should be willing to send an interested buyer more pictures if the buyer requests them.

The listing doesn't appear to show the full extent of damage (as described) and this buyer is attempting to do her homework and ask questions ahead of time. I think the seller should comply.

In fact, based on the seller's "return policy" (see c&p below), it appears that she doesn't take returns unless she shipped the wrong item. According to her TOS, she describes and photographs damage/issues so buyers are expected to see any problems.


Again, the bag is authentic but I guess you have to decide whether you are willing to take a chance on the condition.

Thanks to both Hyacinth and BeenBurned for your valuable comments. I think I'd sit this one out. After a second request for photos, the seller tells me the wrinkles are not a defect - it's merely to describe that the bag is not straight. And one of the original photos in the listing where i saw what I thought was serious scuffing was obviously a normal sized photo, but the seller tells me that it is a "super super close up" and that even then it is hard to see the scuffing. That scared me off completely.
Once again, thanks for taking the time to go through the listing and authenticating it.

First of all, let me just say that you got incredibly lucky and actually ended up with a genuine Coach. It looks like a Dinky Bag from the late 70s through mid-80s.

Normally buying any kind of name brand item from a street seller, especially a new item, is just asking for problems. But you beat the odds - congratulations.

All look genuine. The third one is a Compartment Bag Spectator from around 1990.

I can't help with names for small items like coin pouches and purse accessories, sorry. Most of them would just be called a leather or suede whatever.

Thank you Hyacinth! Do you know the model number associated with the Compartment Bag Spectator? I've been searching Ebay and Google but to no avail. Thank you!
