Thank you. It was right there in my files but I couldn't see it.

Don't despair, there may be a silver lining! I once bought a Taft Bag at the thrift store that I was really wanting but Hyacinth told me it was fake. I took it back and did an even exchange for a brand new, gorgeous suede and croc-embossed Furla Hobo that I absolutely love. It is one of my favorite winter bags. That reminds me, I should get it out soon!
Here's a picture of my beloved Furla hobo with a Marc Jacobs wallet that I also discovered brand new at the thrift store!

It looks like the possibly-Cody bag was also missing one of the strap grommets. That's unusual. Or do the rehabbers here think that it's more common than we know?
There was at least one fake Cody discussed a few years ago in the ATC thread over several days, there's a small photo at the end of the discussion but no creed photos or details. I wouldn't recommend buying that style OR a Taft style without a full set of clear photos and an authentication here.

I can't recall ever getting a vintage bag that lost a grommet.
I don't remember seeing any on Ebay either. But there have been a few missing grommets on fakes.
Hello ladies,
Here I am with more questions, no hurry in responding... TIA
After reading the very informative Salearea guides and looking at samples of Coach creeds along the years, I have saved as reference, a couple pictures of what I understand were Bonnie Cashin designs and how they were marked inside. Before I start looking for some of these iconic bags to add to my collection, I just wanted to ask to the experts here, if these types look like the real deal, so when I find one I will ask in the AT, or if not real move along before taking your time.
Any other type of "label"?

I forgot to add and it was too late to edit, that I am not sure about the last one, the leather one being Bonnie Cashin, it has the stripes in the middle compartment with the kisslock. I do not have more pictures, because they are not mine, I just "borrowed" them for reference.
I vaguely seem to remember that RL Bernstein posted a series of photos on Cashin styles including tags, linings and stripe patterns several years ago but I didn't save the link for those posts. Maybe someone else did ?
The Vintage Chat thread would be the best place to ask.

ETA - There are also dozens of posts by RL Bernstein in the Reference forum - Vintage and Classic pieces showing the various Cashin styles and details. Check the posts starting in May 2016 although there may be others if you go back a bit more

Sacs Magnifiques did a tutorial on the labels. I don't agree with all her dates, but it was a good resource. I can't seem to find it anymore.
Thank you so much ladies, you gave me the kind of homework I will gladly do, LOL
SacsMag's Ebay Guide seems to be one of the very few that escaped the purge. This link still works for me:

Here's one I haven't seen before. Does anyone recognize it? It has a metal COACH tag.

Just bought this off eBay for a very cheap price, but now wishing I had checked things out here first :/
Could someone verify if this is from retail (ergo hobo) or from the outlets? (The white mark on the interior is from the camera flash - she sent me follow up photos.) Inside code No. J2K-9219.
