I forgot the name. This was a gift an odd 5 years ago or so.

I think it's fake because of the strap is quite literally falling apart. I had this wristlet in a drawer with another coach bag and it's completely fine. Unless this is a fault of the manufacturer?

It appears to be authentic though a picture of the made in tag would be helpful. It looks like a MFF (made to be sold at Coach's outlets) item.

It appears to be the same style as the one in this listing:

It lacks the leather stamp, but I assume this is good enough?

Yeah, that's fine. It was made for factory. I have no idea how the strap could get that damaged. Possibly if it was subjected to extreme temperatures.

I did go to the Caribbean once. That could be the reason why. I suppose I have to cough up some serious coin to get it fixed. I do appreciate you doing this, thanks!

Comments: What do people make of this listing? I am leery only because while I know there were certain special collections made in Italy with no serial/style number on the creed, I have never heard of a Legacy Court bag not having a number. Thx in advance!

I think there should be a serial number. it's possible that it is rubbed and difficult to read but she should show it.

I think I can see the top of the serial number in the fold. She needs to prop the bag open and photograph it.

You're welcome. If it were mine. I would cut off the strap. You could use it as a pouch without a strap or buy a clip on strap.
Something like this, but I would look around more to find something that matched and didn't ship from China: https://www.amazon.com/Alban-Leather-Wallet-Wristlet-Keychain/dp/B01N3XWSST

I’m on Poshmark and I’m interested in this purse. They are offering it to me for cheap so I was wondering if it was real?

Would you mind taking a look at this bag please? I haven't posted from my desktop in ages, and all these fancy upgrades are challenging me a bit! Forgive me if I make a mess.
Rambler's Legacy with nickel hardware, in my possession, purchased locally. While wearing my old bifocals, because they're cuter than my current ones. So I didn't see that extra dash until I got it home. Thanks in advance!

It's fine. The extra dash is common from this plant and year.

I was going to suggest looking for a date on the booklet. Sometimes it is coded, like 0472 means April 1972.

I must have 0472 stamped on me somewhere, as I was born in April 1972!

@RL Bernstein posted recently that metal tags preceded leather imprinted logos, so it was probably made between 1972 and 1974.

Here's a booklet with 7911 on the front cover. Would that be 1979, November?

I assume so. I've never seen anything that proves it, but it seems to work. I'd love to see what styles are inside that booklet.
