Coach sometimes changed details over the years. Court Bags had 44-inch non-adjustable REMOVEABLE straps until early 1997. There's nothing wrong with the strap

In the future, please verify authenticity (or un-authenticity) before accusing a seller. You cannot imagine the hurt (and ultimate anger) a seller feels when falsely accused.
Understand that there's no shame in not knowing whether items are genuine or not, but until you know for sure, it's better to check with the experts first.
