I would feel icky myself. Perhaps it's not inherently icky, but I'm simply saying, that's how I would feel.
Perhaps this is rare in a Coach enthusiast, but I work for what is quite close to minimum wage and I have heard a similar argument trotted out as to why it's okay to pay people like me so little, even though we work our butts off.
Sure, making a profit is fine, but I guess I'm not cut out to make a killing. That's just me. That's probably the reason I won't ever make it as a ruthless capitalist. lol.
Anyway, I apologize--this has veered quite off topic.
I don't know for sure, but I would guess it would be something along the lines of "Signature Stripe Mini Skinny".
that would be my guess too, with the possible variation "Signature Stripe ID Mini Skinny."
I have a unique problem. I sold this wallet and now the buyer is having doubts about its authenticity. I listed it as Coach Kristin Op Art Sateen Checkbook Wallet 43648

She says she has a friend who is a rep from Coach and that she is going to have her look at it. I'm not afraid because I know it's authentic, except there are a lot of people out there who call themselves experts and really don't know anything more than the erroneous information out on the web.
so, I guess I'm just looking for some sort of verification from the experts here. Thanks so much.

It's not a unique problem; it happens quite often! Her friend may not have enough information about the style to help her. Most likely she is only familiar with current styles and Kristins are from several years ago. Only your last picture works and that isn't enough for us to authenticate. Please post your question along with the pictures in the authenticate thread here: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-coach-855067.html You can post a link to the auction if it is available. Please note that posting links to your own live listings isn't allowed but since it is completed, it is fine.
ETA: I see you fixed the photos! Please wait for someone more familiar with that wallet.
That's exactly what I am afraid of, that she won't know enough and tell her that it's a fake.
How long ago did you sell the wallet? I can't find the listing and I've searched many permutations of the title you gave and multiple sites. The only wallet(s) I found with the title you stated were on a Thai site and the wallet was black.
I would also like to see the listing but so far, I see no red flags.
ETA: I wouldn't trust a Coach employee to authenticate any item.
I just sold it the other day. Here is my listing: http://tophatter.com/lots/5489438-2-coach-kristin-op-art-sateen-checkbook-wallet
This is the original listing that I purchased: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Walle...2BbltibVAHMUbaWtxU68M%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
As you can see they didn't list it as anything but a coach wallet, I did the research to find out what it was.
My google search turned up quite a few that are the same, just different colors: https://www.google.com/search?q=coa...HMdsVJfRI8aeNsDJgLgN&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg#imgdii=_
Without intending to come off as attacking you, your problem demonstrates precisely why we advise buyers to make sure items they bid on or purchase are the same item they will receive.
And we advise against sellers who use someone else's pictures to sell an item.
Although you purchased the wallet from the ebay seller, in using the seller's pictures, you've not only infringed on the seller's copyrighted work (unless you obtained her permission first) but you have no way to prove that what your buyer received is the item pictured.
While I don't see anything that indicates that the wallet you bought (as shown in the ebay listing) is fake, what I'd need to see are pictures that your buyer took of the wallet she claims is fake.
If she shows pictures of the exact same wallet with the identical pattern placement, I would deem it as authentic, but in the future, if you sell on ebay, etsy, tophatter or any other site, use your own pictures so you have proof that you have the actual item in your possession and that it's the item that the buyer will receive.
