I'm looking for this bag in the largest size available.

Here is an ended listing for #11180 that shows the measurements: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Signa...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Probably the size you want.
There is also #11181 which the seller describes as a little smaller than that one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Ltd-E...076643?hash=item4b01c29563:g:cJEAAOSw3xJVWjE-
11182 is also smaller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-RARE-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
11178 and 11179 are smaller as well.

I was just looking at this listing, questioned it (to myself) and now it's ended with a winning bidder. I hope I'm wrong about the authenticity but I don't think I'm wrong!

ETA: Crap! she has this POS too:

Item: Patricia's Legacy (?)

Comment: Why is the flap so short? I have seen a few more 9951 also with a shorter flap. I thought all 9951 had a full flap.

It's authentic. The flap looks shorter than most I've seen. Maybe it is stuffed and the angle makes it look shorter. I think Coach may have varied the length of flap over the years. My 1994 picture makes it look like it ends about 1 inch from the bottom. My 1997 picture looks shorter and my 2000 picture looks longer. The most recent Patricias seem to have a full flap.

Here are most of the Signature Stripe Denim bags from the 2007 Collection. I can't pull up any of the original description pages but the Sig Stripe Large Denim Tote # 11180 and the baby bag style Sig Stripe Multi Function Denim Tote # 11175 are probably the 2 largest. As I said in the other thread, Coach does not use the same style number for different size bags even if they seem to all look alike.

I'm including 2 screencaps of the Wayback Machine's main handbag page from June 2007, plus a 'cap of my own photo files of those same styles. It's good to see the Hobo/Shoulder Tote 11182 in a listing too, that style never seems to have made it onto the Wayback and for a long time I wondered if there even was such a number.Daria48 may have even had it on her Fakes List at Ebay for a while, but it looks like a valid style number, that's why there are now a few extra pics of it in my own files.

Hope it helps you find what you're looking for.

Comment: I had this saved to buy for a long time but the prefix scared me so I finally asked for more pics. I think it's fake along with the hardware. Can you confirm please?

VERY fake. The serial fonts are wrong and NOT what was used by the D plant, the back of the turnlock is wrong, And according to the catalogs, that style wasn't even introduced until Spring 1997, so how can it have a September 1994 date code?.

Stop stressing yourself out over this kind of thing and just ask. You'll give both your nerves AND your wallet a break.
