I am not sure about this bag as it has no heat stamp? Also, the engraving on the hardware doesn't look right, but it could be your photos. I recommend you go to this website. They are really good professionals that can help.for a small fee which coulld keep you out of trouble should you ever list it anywhere, you can prove it is authentic with an authentication from them. http://*****************.com/I picked this bag up at a thrift shop. Picture were taken by me.
Thank you

This bag appears to be authentic. As cdtracing stated, would be better if we saw a close up of heat stamp and made in country tag, but the lining is a MK lining and everything else I see looks good. I never had much luck with white leather trying to clean it. Your best bet is to go to a shoe repair store and see what they recommend. or try taking it to a dry cleaners.There is some kind of acetone product that removes stains, but it could also remove the white dye. That stain on the bottom looks pretty permanent, although the acetone may take it off. Many of the dry cleaners do leather and suede. I only wash my black and brown leather and suede bags and they come out great.Waiting for the bags I missed to be relisted I found another one I'm not so sure about, especially because I can't see very well the interior of the bag in the pics. I would really appreciate your help with this one too!

I'm trying to find a white or better an ivory one, now that I got the black one in thick leather that's going to arrive anytime now. I also hope to be able to wash it after arrival and make it look at least a bit better. Cinthia, what's your experience with washing the white leather? Is it worth the try or it might get it a yellow-ish hue or something? TIA.
Edit to add: I asked the seller about the size and it seems a good, large size: 17x13x6
I also asked for more inside pics. Which I cannot attach from my tablet, apparently..... I need to go to my PC today to add them here.

Here are the pics that the seller sent in a private message. Maybe s/he didn't know the listings can be edited by adding photos.
The stain on the very bottom doesn't really bother me much because it's right there, on the bottom. on the other hand, there were a few other ivory/white nice bags posted that I missed so I could just keep an eye on the listings and see when those, that were cleaner, will be relisted. Or I could just try a dry cleaner.
But this Hamilton is also a nice size.... I'm sooo undecided!
Thank you so much for all the input regarding these bags I'm watching! Cinthia and cdtracing, thanks again!!!

Oh, it is? So maybe I shouldn't wait for one of the others to be listed and just get this one then.
Thank you much, Cinthia!
Ok, got it. Got the idea and the bag altogether
Thank you so much! Now I got a white bag too. I can't help myself, I like light colored leather! Beige being the best for me, but ivory, white too. Car interior leather included

+1! I almost grabbed it myself! lol! Only 59.00?? That was a steal!
Oh, so sorry I got it before you did. I wasn't sure if you were serious you want it....
I also found this' maybe I'll wash it like this lady did with hers. Will do more research though before deciding.

It's quite all right! It was your find! No need to be sorry. It was a great deal! I coudn't be that rotten to take it when you found it first! lol! I checked out your link, and I have washed certain bags in the machine and they turned out great, however, the Hamilton has way too much hardware on it including the chain strap. If you notice, her bag had hardly any hardware on it at all. The hardware could beat the death out of the bag and ruin it in a machine! If you really want to try washing it, do it by hand in the sink, using a mild detergent like Woolite or even dish soap.and then hang it to dry. The trick is that you have to dry it quickly so it doesn't mildew. I blow a space heater at mine wile they are drying and continue to turn it and shape it, while it is drying. The problem with white, is it doesn't clean evenly. Some areas come out brighter than others. I personally would go to a shoe repair store or a dry cleaners with a white Hamilton. Also, many of the older Coach bags like hers, didn't have a lining in them. The Hamilton has a lining.. so I would be very leary to put a Hamilton in the machine, especially with all the gold hardware on it, and definitely, don't use the dryer. Treat it like you lingerie and do it all by hand.
