Sorry, I found a flashlight and it is a C. Re the shoulder strap - it has a buckle to adjust length, and both ends are sewn into a seam that us hidden below the top of the open back pocket.

It also has a navy leather tag on a short chain, with Coach embossed on both sides.

It's a genuine Small Sidepack from 1996.

Comments: I just got these today, and the bangle in the picture is supposed to be Coach. It doesn't say Coach anywhere on it. Could it still be Coach? TIA!

There's no way to tell with only one tiny photo. Please take photos, inside and out including any clips or zipper pulls of ALL the items including any stamps or marks on the inside of the bangle. Coach bangles are always marked on the inside. Also if it's a hinged bangle, check the clasp.

Thanks. I assumed the keychain was older because the listing describes it as vintage. But even if it is newer, the keychains that are $98 are the Tony Duquette designs, which have jewels. To me, this one looks like it wouldn't retail for that much, but that is just my opinion.

There have been quite a few all-leather "Spinner"-type keychains and charms as well as styles with crystals or pave designs, long before the Duquette pieces came out, that listed at $98 or whatever the top of the price range was at the time. That one's from 2005 and it's HUGE and perfectly genuine. Just like with handbags, a seller calling something vintage (or Bonnie Cashin, or any other popular Keywood Spam,) doesn't make it so.

Hey ladies, haven't posted here in a while (I had a baby!). I'm still lusting after a bag in teal--can you guys check this one out for me? I had a Sydney that I LOVED but I couldn't get past the flap (flaps are such a PITA). Looking for a zip top of some type and have never found a teal Krstin zip top, so I'm considering this Madison Julianne.

Thanks!

Thanks. I was hoping it was real. BTW, I am getting really tired of sellers who claim a bag is from the 70's when it has a year code of 1998.

Comments: month code is U. I don't see how this could be a transposition since the factory code seems correct for the US.

Comments: the price on the tag seems too high for an older Coach keyfob

1. The serial number starts with a "J", not U. I think the bag is okay but wait for other opinions on authenticity.

Buyers who consider buying from station_85 should read her toolhaus before doing business:
http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=station_85&Dirn=Received+by

2. The tag is the correct tag and original price of the keychain and the keychain is authentic -- and pretty rare.

I'll deter authentication on the other 2 listings to others.

I'd like to see more pictures of all 3 items.

Bag: Front, back, closeup of center front seam, creed
Wristlet: front, back, inside and clip
Bangle: Closeup (so we can see inside)


ETA: I see there are more items I missed the first time.

I'd like a picture of the full scarf, including the tag/label sewn onto the hem as well as both cosmetic bags, insides.

RULE # 6 of Buying Online:
NEVER assume that the seller knows what they're talking about, or cares - or that they can accurately read and/or type a serial number.
