I responded before I saw this post and the pictures.
The bag seems to be okay. I'm going to do some searching for tag pictures to see if I can find any further information.
If you request additional pictures, a clear and legible picture of the creed (straight on) is needed and a picture of the full outside of the tag.
ETA: I think the bag is authentic. Here's a post and a picture from that post that shows the same color bag and tag with the same color code abbreviation and the same UPC code:

And a rotated and blown up picture of the tag from the above image:

It's authentic. It's a Madison Biltmore from 1997. It seems to be missing the shoulder strap. The bag has loops inside the flap to thread a shoulder strap through. It would be almost impossible to find one that matched. The style isn't extremely rare but the color is. It is also rare to find one with a dustbag and the tissue paper.
Thanks! I have one more that has to be fake. I almost don't even want to show it but I think I still have the seller's name so maybe I can help someone else avoid a mistake. I should never have bid on it 😑.
There is a strap, it is just not on the bag!
thanks for authenticating! If you were bidding on one of these how much would these go for? ( don't want to over pay) thanks
Please refer to post #1 of the thread for the posting format and information. Even if the listing has ended, we can still see it with the link:

While this is a style that is often faked, I think you got an authentic one. I don't see any problems with it.
I paid $60 for mine but it didn't come with a dustbag and it isn't as rare of a color, and it has some stains on the lining. At the time I felt I got a good deal. What you pay depends on how much you want the bag. I wouldn't be surprised if the bidding went over $100.There is a strap, it is just not on the bag!

Dear BeenBurned,
thanks for your research and links. they were really helpful.
the link to the bag is here: http://deluxemall.com/coach/164917-coach-embossed-leather-sydney-satchel-bag.html
it really looks fine to me too, except for the tag. i tried researching online about it but no results.
i will try to get the photos from her tonight, thank you very much for your help again.
You're welcome! Yes, you did get lucky. That is a fantastic color!
ETA: Is the zipper brass?
It says posts over 90 days can't be viewed. I'm not the most tech savvy and I'm using an iPhone, as opposed to a PC, if that makes a difference. If you know of a way for me to access the listing I'm happy to. Either way I'll post pics tomorrow and I'm still more than happy to share the seller's name. I did see she's not currently posting anything for sale.
