It looks fine. I don't think it's dry. I believe that's the texture of the metallic leather.

Yes. I've been wearing a simple coach 9326 legacy and I'm always petting it because I love the soft leather. Ps. I'm must be nuts too. Lol

Maybe, but it's a GOOD kind of crazy!

It looks like a Brooke. I agree, that is the texture of the leather. I wouldn't dunk. I think it looks to be in pretty good condition. Here's a few mentions of it on the forum: https://forum.purseblog.com/search/...t&c[child_nodes]=1&c[nodes][0]=29&o=relevance

It's a genuine style 9909 Austin Bag from around Fall 1992. There's only one catalog pic that I can find, from the Fall 1992 catalog, but the strap rings could very well be round, it's hard to tell from the photo.

ETA - there's a clearer photo in my Holiday Preview 1992 book, and the strap rings ARE round. Good catch!

Genuine, from 1996. We've seen quite a few Reginas with 9985 style numbers. As far as I can tell, Coach never used 9985 for any handbag style so it was probably a fairly common mistake.
