The turnlock could be salvaged...or you could cut the pocket out that has the creed and rehab it anyway. It could be a good experiment on how these fake bags rehab differently....thats if your are not taking it back.

That may be an idea Narnanz! Thank you for the suggestion.

Good afternoon everyone,
I bought this bag a few days ago so I can use the strap for another bag but it's too small so I'd like to post it on eBay but only with your blessings. The creed is very worn so I'm hoping someone can assure me that it's ok. I appreciate any info.
Thanks so much!

Item: Coach 9997 Patricia?

Purchased: My local goodwill store

Size: 8"x7.5"x2"

It's genuine, but not a Patricia's Legacy. It's a Legacy Small Zip made in 1998.

Thank you Hyacinth and thank you for the correct name.

That seller has a long-standing reputation for items that are in poorer condition than described, dirty, or reeking of cigarette smoke and other odors. It may be better than it used to be but they still have a ways to go. Their reputation here reflects that:

https://forum.purseblog.com/search/315744/?q=station_85&o=date

Total aside as I was browsing this thread and didn't see it mentioned elsewhere:

Station 85 is the ebay store of a wholesale leather dealer called Half Pint and they sell a lot of items to costume designers/film studios/high end vintage shops, etc. They have a super curated instagram and the Coach bags listed there are usually in nice condition. When I realized they were the same company I was shocked. I've managed to go to a couple of their sales and they know a LOT about vintage leather, but I don't know how brand specific that knowledge is.

I also know they have A MASSIVE amount of inventory in their warehouse (in the rainy pacific northwest...not storing things properly is going to result in some musty leather!) and if I had to put money on it...I'd bet many of their eBay listings were not sold elsewhere for a reason and are not that well vetted since I don't believe they have a very big staff. Too bad, but that might explain why they use a different name on eBay.

Just thought I'd share since it adds some context to your records!
