Hello! This is my first time asking for an item to be authenticated. Thank you so much for your help and time -- it is very much appreciated. :)

Item: Petal/Gray Willis
Listing number: 281067540894
Seller: tohot2handlez1978

Comments: It has a pretty clear picture of the creed: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/NWT-Coach-19036-Leather-Colorblock-Poppy-Small-Willis-Silver-Petal-MSRP-258-/00/s/MTA2M1gxNjAw/z/ENcAAOxyyF5RI-5s/$(KGrHqJHJEUFEjUtI0EkBRI-5r0Crg~~60_57.JPG

Hi there,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...943?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3a7e7ff7ff

Item 251230418943

I don't know what style this is or whether it is authentic. It's a red kisslock. Any thoughts? Thank you for your expertise!

It's mostly authentic. It was called a Retro Lindy Bag, style 9003 and was made in 1991 for the 50th Anniversary of Coach. But if you read the description it says the original strap was replaced. Not only is the current strap much shorter - the original one was 44 inches while the replacement is less than half that length - but the leather pieces holding the 2 straps together at the ends don't match very well.

So while it may be a vintage bag, it's been modified and not in a good way. I'm not a shoulder bag person but carrying a bag on your shoulder with a 9-inch drop that has a large lumpy kisslock right at top center doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy. It would have to be a "hands only" bag.

There isn't a decent picture of the creed for the Willis. If the creed checks out, I don't see any problems with the bag. I'm not familiar with the green bag, so wait for another opinion, but it looks okay to me. The Court is fine.

Can someone help authenticate this bag? Thanks

Item: Coach Bella Court Bag in Red 9957

Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/5122fa9ef816d80e77001b31

I've also upload an additional photo that the seller send of the creed stamp. It looks like it was made in 1994, what I'm leery about is the color, does Coach made that color back then? She claims that it was purchased in the Coach store and only used once.

*Is it normal for the lining edges to be white?

I have several vintage purses where the lining edges are white, almost like they dyed it after assembly. Coach has used red for a long time, at least since the 70's. I don't see any problems with this bag.

The wallet looks fine.

I agree that the wallet in the pictures looks okay but you might want to verify with the seller that the picture shows the actual item you will receive.

Although the item specifics say "new with tags," her description states that it "Comes with a care card ONLY." Yet the last two pictures clearly show a tag in the interior pocket.

If the tag is missing, the wallet isn't NWT and shouldn't be described as such. And if the tag is included, why doesn't she mention it?

Another possibility is that the seller purchased 2 wallets, one with and one without the tag. But in that case, she should use different sets of pictures.
