It's a genuine Legacy Zip made in 1997

Phew! Thanks. I was worried about it because there is no dash after the KJD.

 

[Emily729]

Thanks for the tips and info as well! I am finding this forum to be fascinating. I don’t know why I am only just now using it when I have been collecting bags for years!

Authenticators,
Now that I understand how to do this correctly, I am re-posting my request from yesterday. I apologize that it was incorrectly done the first time, or if I am not supposed to re-post.
Item: Coach Janice
Listing number: no listing number is shown
Seller and site where listed: BigRedMommy-Mercari
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m69613649616/
Comments: The creed looks to be from before style numbers were used, but the style number is correct for the bag. Also, the material around the zipper is a different color than the bag.

*Edit-I don't know why I bought this thing lol. I googled the full number and it doesn't even show, except for some foreign website. I am willing to bet it is fake and I will be returning it upon receipt! Hopefully returns to Mercari are easy.

Please authenticate this coach. I am looking to purchase from the thrift store. Sorry about sideways and upside down photos. Im not sure how to fix this issue on my phone. where purchased thrift store. Model number A8M 9790.

It's authentic.

 

[whateve]

I'm curious about this one. The creed's font doesn't seem correct for the C plant in 1997. I'd like confirmation of my suspicions.

TIA.

I've never seen it before either. Genuine, but it doesn't look very practical, the Court Bag-type top handle doesn't look as secure as a riveted one, and that - not sure what to call it, "slit and ball"? type attachment on the ends of the shoulder strap doesn't exactly inspire confidence (see pic). Some of the Sheridans and Dakotas had that and while it might be ok on a handbag, I wouldn't trust it on a briefcase especially knowing how heavy one of those laptops from the mid to late 1990s could be, sometimes 8 or 9 pounds in full Business/Office mode plus maybe a separate floppy drive (memories are vague but weren't they separate back then?). And that kind of strap attachment can really be a PITA to use.

Someone kindly provided me with a catalog page with this briefcase. It's called Reed Brief.

Looks good.

Thank you @whateve - I really appreciate your quick authentication.

Take care

It's authentic.

Thank you whateve. Would you happen to know year and make?

THANK YOU! And thank your friend too. I don't have that catalog.

So it's a Double Agent briefcase? I assume it has "M"'s full approval?

Hello Authenticators. I purchased this bag and would appreciate your insight. Thank you so much.

Comments: No comments-the purse looks OK to me but I think I recently bought a fake from Mercari, so I want to be sure.

Thank you whateve. Would you happen to know year and make?

The Salearea Guides can help you translate the production codes in the serial number.

SaleArea guides

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

Sorry you were missed. There was a similar bag authenticated yesterday that I thought was this one.(it wasn't) It's authentic. Seller didn't provide measurements. It looks like it could be the large but might be the medium.
