Please authenticate this abbie. My only concern is the color since I believe I heard that this was made in a periwinkle but not a blue. The actual color is lighter and slightly greener than it shows in these pictures. The last picture shows it next to my periwinkle from the same year, but different style, month and plant.

Oooo, pretty! It's a Checkbook Wallet from the Bridle line from around 1999, probably made in Italy, calfskin and pigskin combination, and the color was Mahogany.
They made the Abbie Zip in both Aqua and Periwinkle, at least for Spring and Summer. There's a Powder Blue they called Glacier shown as a Fall color, but it's possible they brought back a few of the Spring colors toward the end of the year as a kind of Resort line - Coach did do a special Resort line that usually didn't show up in the mainland stores, and once in a great while they turn up. I tend to forget about them because they're scarce and I don't think Coach bothers with a separate line nowadays, they have enough variety in the full line to cover all situations. They sometimes did (and still do) make special colors for certain retailers too.
I don't see any problems with it.
I purchased a lot of 4 vintage Coach purses and just received them today. Before rehabbing them, just wanted to make sure they check out. Thanks again!!
Photos are below and the ebay link has more photos of the bags themselves, didn't include creed photos in the initial auction.

I didn't know of any the bag names except the Willis, but I looked up the style name and put the best guess I could. Dimensions I took off the ebay auction, so I didn't measure them myself. Let me know if I need to take more pictures.

Oops, didn't include the photo of the Regina creed. Sorry, it's included below.
Also on the Fletcher (brown front flap hobo), there's a tiny embossed stamp, similar to the style of the creed, of the words "DONATED". It's upside down, kind of crooked on the left top side of the creed. Is this normal? Did a store put this on after the fact? I tried to take a picture but it wouldn't show up how ever much I tried.
Thanks again.

They all look ok.
I haven't seen a Donated stamp before but it's very possible Coach or a Coach store may have done that.
