Item: Legacy Stripe Cosmetic Bag with Vachetta Trim
Dimensions: 8" wide; 5.5 tall
Seller: Adrienne Adisme
Link: https://item.mercari.com/gl/m81166406831/

Comments: I picked this up for $10 shipped on Mercari, I know that I should have gotten it authenticated first but would you please give me your opinion after the fact, thanks!

Assuming it is genuine, any idea of the style name, number, and/or year of release? It's pretty clean and it is a nice little bag for $10! Thanks again!

It looks fine. I think someone removed the wristlet strap.

Thanks, and it shows $55 as the price, nice to know. It's a shame that the wristlet strap is missing, but I was planning to use it as a cosmetic bag anyway and for $10 - I'm not complaining!

The only thing with "Coach" is the hangtag and that doesn't look genuine. There's nothing on the coin purse that says it's Coach and the grooved turnlock back is a red flag.

I don't believe it's authentic. Other opinions are welcome.

Thank you! It's gone now.

It's not gone. It was sold but if confirmed as fake, it can be reported. Wait for confirmation.

And see my update to my post.

Oh it ended. My son is jumping up and down on me I'm quite distracted.

not just grooves on the turnlock, but these usually had a different kind of turnlock. I can't remember if we've seen any authentic ones with this style of turnlock. These might have been made in an apple green, probably not as bright as that. I have a kisslock coin purse in green.

ETA: yes, there was a green similar to my coin purse.

The 1999 Holiday catalog shows the Station Bag with a 48-inch adjustable strap, which may have been introduced a year earlier.. Earlier versions had a 44-inch removeable one-piece strap. Both bags are genuine.

Thank you, I've been searching for an answer to the station bag strap question!

None of my coin purses that I can recall have the "purse-style" pronged turnlock, with or without indentations, although the very first "mini" version may have had that type of turnlock, without indentations . And they were made to match the Coach bag colors and AFAIK Coach NEVER did a Kelly Green leather for ANY style during the time period they were making the small coin purses.

I'm going to join the "Fake" line on this one too.

ETA - it's not easy to see in this photo, but all the following "large" con purses had turnlock backs with a raised border around the hole, see the thumbnail below
