All 3 seem to be ok but I'm not really an expert on newer styles. More opinions would help.
My first time buying anything vintage so I would appreciate any help that I can get. Please tell me what you think. Thanks in advance.

Please help me out with this one ladies. This seller has a fake coach listed and I'm wondering about this one as well. The leather looks so wrinkled

I am by no means an expert, but two of the pictures don't sit well with me. That zipper pull looks odd. Also, it's strange that the seller obscures the serial number in her third photo. Seems fishy to me, but I'm sure someone with more experience in vintage can give you a better answer.
I see the fake listed and it is unfortunate that the seller doesn't know real from fake. I would be leery about any purchase when a seller is so unconcerned about authenticity.
As to the bag in question...If you are interested...you definitely need to ask for a good creed photo. Also ask if there was any sort of "treatment" applied to the leather.
It looks like an old Sonoma Bucket, but it's impossible to be sure. The Sonoma pebbled leather did have creases, but that one looks especially creased.

Standard zipper pull for a Sonoma
Standard creed statement for a Sonoma
Sonoma leathers can wrinkle too especially if not stored right.
The other bag may be fake, this one isn't.
Genuine Audrey Zip 1999
Genuine Casino Bag 1996
Genuine Court Bag, can't read the year code
Are there other styles of Coach bags with that zipper pull? It's very intriguing.
Any bag from the old SONOMA line that has an outer zipper pull, will have that zipper pull.
The Sonomas are either pebbled leather or nubuc suede and they are all in the 49xx series.
The link below is for the Sonoma Guide:

not interested in it, but since I came across the one fake they have listed I wanted to make sure before reporting this too since I haven't seen the zipper pull before and couldn't tell if it was good or not.
Thank you
It kind of looks like it was at the bottom of the purse pile in the closet or something...

OMG...I think I am becoming obsessed.
I found the bag in my sig as a "Coach Classic" reinvent on Coach.com. I only have one "older" bag that I got from a antique shop, but this satchel literally made me gasp. I have been hunting for a white bag and this is perfect.
But the price ($358) is definitely definitely definitely out of my price range right now. So I have been trying to find an original that looks similar on Ebay and Etsy.
I stumbled upon the beauty listed below, and have been looking at the pics for well over an hour now...scrutinizing and falling in love. For all I know, it's not the same exact bag as the one in my sig, but I think I prefer the one in the auction more. Problem is...finding a vintage (is it really vintage?) white colored bag in great shape such as this will be very difficult.
This is completely new territory for me, almost like a new brand, so any advice is helpful.
First, is this fabulous awesome fantastic gorgeous lovely authentic?

Comments: Man, I LOVE this bag. It is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Instead of shelling out big bucks for one made in China...having one made in the USA would be a dream (I actually prefer my LV's to be made in USA). Can anyone give me advice on keywords to search for on auction sites to see more of these?
Many, many thanks in advance!
