If handbags could talk...
I kind of love the way it looks distressed - my husband kinda thinks I have lost my mind, so I will give her the spa treatment :D

I like it too. It looks like a much older bag. I have one that looks almost new.

At least it looks structurally sound. I got a really beat up classic pouch that has a lot of broken piping and the strap is almost cracked in half. I thought the rehab challenge would be fun. What was I thinking?

I may do the minimum on spa-ing - just enough to make sure the leather isn't drying out. And I need to keep my eye out for this style, less distressed :) It's a great size - and just as TetonDeb said - the strap detail is pretty cool!

a 'rehab' note - I've been playing with some intentional distressing on a couple of wayy beyond rehab bags (and believe me, I have a few, since I just can't seem to pass up or throw out a stray :) Some cool things have come from this - possibly thread-worthy at some point!

Yes, you should keep an eye for this style. Unfortunately very few sellers know the real name of the bag, so it is hard to find. It came in some gorgeous colors. I have it in purple and Porter4 has it in a jade green.

I'd love to see your intentional distressing!

Intentional distressing...tried it once...haven't tried it since...far uglier than before. Would love to hear your ideas...I'm the same way with strays, after all, they're still Coach!

I hear you! Usually that term 'distressed' just annoys me - right up there with 'upcycled' - a code word for 'ruined a perfectly good item'
;)

But I recently found an old bone basic bag that made me rethink distressing - it is so worn throughout that it has a burnished, almost sueded finish.. it's truly beautiful - downright exquisite.

I have been trying to figure out how it got that way - it has no shoulder strap, so need to 'make' one to match :) That led to experimentation - and some results that were pleasant surprises... not totally there yet, but I am excited with the possibilities and really enjoying the process, too :)

You're welcome! You got a good deal. The rehab thread has tons of suggestions on how to clean your bag. http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-clubhouse/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club-624452.html
Most of us prefer other products to the Coach cleaner or moisturizer. Your bag looks like it is in really great shape. A lot of us rehabbers tend to wash almost every bag we get, but yours might not need that. But even if it isn't very dirty, a bath helps you to reshape the bag.

thank you again whateve! I love this bag so much that I bought another one in black! lol. I did end up paying a bit more (total was $57) but I thought it was worth it since black is timeless!

The bag and mini skinny in the pictures look okay although ideally, I'd like to see a picture of the interior of the bag.

Why do you think it's fake? Have you received it yet and if so, did you receive the item pictured?

In the future, if you have authenticity questions, please post here in the format shown in post #1: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-818914.html#post24637163

Ive never seen this type of bag in a swingback and she has no pictures of the insides

It's style 47507 and is a sutton scarf print swingpack.

Remember that Coach has made over 10000 styles of items and it's virtually impossible for anyone to be familiar with everything! Just because we haven't seen a bag or because we think it's ugly and not something Coach would ever make doesn't mean that it wasn't made by Coach. (They have made some very fugly (IMO) styles!)

Additionally, a seller not showing adequate pictures of the inside or any other part we like to see doesn't mean that the seller is hiding something. More often than not, it simply means that the seller doesn't know what to photograph.

This is Coach's picture of the swingpack:
