A couple of comments:

1. Regarding creed #2 above: The creed picture you posted with the non-70th anniversary edition creed isn't the same one as is in the 2nd listing from the Japanese seller. This creed shows that it was made in June, 2012 but the Japanese seller's listing shows a creed from a bag made in August, 2012.
2. It looks like February 2012 was the last month with the 70th anniversary creed. Bags made in March 2012 and beyond have "made in China" creeds. Here's a March listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Lega...e-Tan-Leather-Shoulder-Bag-Purse/224310846615 and https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-1913...Shoulder-Crossbody-Strap-Pockets/233817609152 )

I don't see any problem with authenticity of either (or with any that I checked).

ETA: Here's another February bag with the commemorative creed. It seems to help confirm my theory:

ETA again:
And it looks like the 2011 bags have the 70th anniversary creeds:

Oh I picked the wrong pic to use for the collage. :facepalm: Sorry about that..
This is the bag that second Creed patch is from.

Thank you! I was just confused both being made in 2012. Other than the different Creed they seem to be exact in every other way.


There were quite a few discussions during and after the period those Anniversary editions were issued, and we just talked last month about what was included and what wasn't and for how long. It was more than a bit confusing because Coach as always set their own rules which often had very little relationship to the actual dates on the calendar.

There are 4 pages of posts when you Search here under "coach willis 70th anniversary" that might either explain or cloud the issue even more.

I don't see any problems either.

Good day awesome authenticators! Could you please have a look at this unusual Legacy Zip on Ebay? Unusual because the seller says it is lined with felt????

Link: https://ebay.us/QkrYdW

seller: don*t-dawdle

Listing number: 143898200595

Here is a photo of the "felt"

Thanks so much for all you do!!!!! :hugs:
It's authentic. Without a picture of the interior rather than just the back of the pocket, I can't say if it is different from any other Legacy zip. It should be raw suede inside. Sometimes the back of the inside pocket can have a different texture than the rest.
