This thread is for authentications and that's where you posted. If you were looking for an ID, there's a different thread for that.
Thanks. Totally missed that one.
 
Thanks so much , what year is made because I don’t see many of the triple zipper, you know?
I've seen the triple zipper cross body from Dooney on QVC as recently as last year.
I'm pretty sure they did it in pebbled leather.

Dooney often brings back styles in different leathers and fabrications.
I'm pretty sure I've also seen the triple zipper cross body in nylon in the
not too distant past. The newer versions might be slightly different than an
older version, in terms of dimensions (body and strap length) or trim.
Also, sometimes they add a removeable section to the cross body strap so a bag can be worn both (short) shoulder and cross body.

This Mercari listing from the seller SavvyK1 seems like an obvious fake to me


The tag, the rivets in lieu of the brass posts and holes (not sure what it's called, I want to say bullet, but that's a horse bridle word), not to mention that the rivets on the side are off center... not that they should be there.

Hope I'm not off my rocker, already reported the listing, so I'm attaching screen shots on the off chance Mercari takes it down.

This Mercari listing from the seller Irina9 looks off to me, but I'm doubting myself on this one.

The link above doesn't work but there's another listing of the same bag and you're correct. The pictures show a fake.


irina9 also has this fake Coach:
