Item: Sonoma black pebbled wallet/wristlet?
Seller: Savers $8
Dimensions when closed: 7.5” wide, 4” high, and around 1” deep

Comments: This reminds me of the Sonoma drawstring bag that I rehabbed and gave to my niece. I think that it must be a wristlet or swingpack because it has D rings inside the outer flap buy the strap is missing. I don’t know if it is also missing a hangtag?

Let me know if you need better pictures. Please authenticate and if it is genuine, anything you can tell me about it will be greatly appreciated. I am especially interested in finding a pic of the item with the strap, thanks so much! I will post a few more photos below.

I'm sorry, I am having trouble posting pics I will post them soon!
 
I understand that you're asking about the Coach bag and unfortunately, that bag isn't one I'm familiar with. Please wait for other opinions on that listing.

My comments were only regarding the integrity of a seller who mixes authentic and fakes, which simplycara does.

Other opinions are welcome but it looks like a genuine Express Brief from around 1993. The style number was 514.
 
Genuine, it's called a Soho Waverly Bag from 1996.

Thank you so much. I have one question...this bag will be shipped from Australia. Does this raise a red flag?

You authenticated a bag for beausmom71 from the same seller but that bag is being shipped from the USA

I haven't purchased the bag yet. TIA for your thoughts.

That shouldn't be a problem, just do a little research on any possible customs duties. Obviously, shipping will take a while. And any leather items from areas near the ocean can develop mildew so you should always ask the sellers about problems or odors.

Older and vintage bags coming from Australia and the Far East are usually not a big problem - newer bags are more likely to be counterfeit. If you see any problems when you get the bag, just post photos and an explanation and we'll take another look.
 
Ok, I am going to try this again, sorry!

Hi, could someone please help me authenticate this purse? Thanks!

Item: COACH Black Crossbody Shoulder Messenger Handbag Duffle Large Bonnie Cashin 9525
Listing Number: 170808218008
Seller: university-trading
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/170808218008?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

It looks ok.

Somehow the seller managed to throw in almost every imaginable keyword into the title (including Cashin, to which it may not have any connection) except the actual name of the bag. "Stewardess Bag" might have gotten a lot more attention than "duffle" and "large".
