Thank you Hyacinth! I think I would like the original strap. I found a few more Coach station bags on ebay. What do you think? :)

item: COACH style 5130 Station Bag purse in British Tan cowhide leather, made in 1998
Listing: 261211677307
Seller: sekula
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-style-5130-Station-Bag-purse-in-British-Tan-cowhide-leather-made-in-1998-/261211677307?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3cd16de27b


item: Coach British Tan Glove Tanned Cowhide 5130 Station Shoulder Bag
Listing: 121106725348
Seller: amravilor
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-British-Tan-Glove-Tanned-Cowhide-5130-Station-Shoulder-Bag-/121106725348?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1c3285f9e4

Thanks for the help!

Both look ok.
 
Sarah your name is still cracking me up on here! You should have just embraced it and went with wal-mart :)
I know, right?!? It's the reason I didn't legally hyphenate my name - Waller-Martin looks way too much like Wal-Mart. Way too much. And when I made my name here I didn't notice that it cut the "in" off, and now I can't figure out a way to change it! I just kind of threw up my hands.
 
Can someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
Found at the BOTTOM of a bin at Goodwill Bargain Barn today.
Approx. 7.5"w x 6"h (at buckles) x 4.5"d
Black leather with brown Coach lozenge lining and nickel hardware. There is also a leather-trimmed open pocket opposite the zippered creed pocket. Mysterious white spots on bottom and lining FULL of make-up!
Is this a 1992 Soho Demi #9844?
As always, thanks in advance...Happy Mother's Day to those who are Moms!

I don't have a record of the name but it looks like it's from the Legacy West line rather than the Soho - Sohos usually have horseshoe-shape buckles. It may be either a Demi or a Small Hobo. It's genuine.
 
There are a LOT of fake keychains and charms, mostly the metal ones but fake leather styles like this one are out there too. Keychains and wallets are faked even more than purses. Having keychain purchases authenticated here is always a good idea.
^^^^ This is true, but in this case, it was MY F-up and I feel awful!
 
Does anyone know if the leather swingbacks always have creed patches on the inside? This one does not, but the leather & stiching is high quality. Also in one of the photos, the button says COACH.

Could someone kindly authenticate this for me?

I've read the posts at the other forum and done some searching. All the other examples of that style - 41537 - listed at Ebay show brass grommets around the buckle holes. And from what I remember, Coach didn't start making Checkbook wallets with extra credit card slots in the bottom half until several years ago, this style from 2008(?) shouldn't have them.

In fact a quick Google of "Coach wallet 41537" has a site showing your wallet very near the top of the Google page, with the extra CC slots and without the correct grommets around the buckle holes. the site says "Our bags are cheaper than retail, this is simply because we source them direct from overseas where the currency and selection is better." That translates to "Our stuff is cheaper because we buy fakes from China". There's also an identical fake to yours at the "i" site - and the items shown with the wallet PROVE it's fake - with the same incorrect details as the one you asked about. And it's supposedly NWT and being sold for $46. Yeah, right.

Sorry, everything I'm finding points to it being fake
I agree that your wallet is fake.

In the future, please have your items authenticated before listing them. Although you do end your listings when you find out they're fake, they shouldn't be listed in the first place since authenticity is supposed to be known and proven before listing.

I bought this a year ago. It looked EXACTLY like another I had in this style, but I've never seen this color before or after buying this one. Thanks.

ETA: The yellow isn't as pale as it is in the picture.
