The strap wasn't made by Coach

Does that mean it's authentic, except for the strap?

It's an authentic Convertible Clutch #9635.

I think it could be a Coach strap, but it was shortened. The ends look like they were cut and put back on with rivets. The stitching doesn't go all the way around the ends of the leather. But the color matches perfectly.
 
Here are the pebbled leather classics from the display at Coach headquarters. I tried to capture the texture, thus the close ups

These are recent remakes. Coach didn't use turnlocks or buckles with logos like that until recently. Some of those hardware colors weren't available when these styles were made. A vintage duffle sac would have a black zipper. The city bag and musette have edge coating, which wasn't used back then. That hangtag on the satchel looks so weird with the word "leatherware." It is a copy of the originals but looks wrong in the pebbled leather.

ETA: this seems disingenuous to imply these are vintage bags.

My point exactly. There are a handful of vintage bags, but the rest are all like these.
