Hello Authenticators. I purchased this bag and would appreciate your insight. Thank you so much.
Item: Vintage Coach Rambler
Listing number: no listing number is shown
Seller and site where listed: JamieRochelle-Mercari
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m95357345013/
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.
It looks fine. It's a Rambler's Legacy, not a Rambler.
 
Thank you for the heads up on where to find more information. Unfortunately I do not use facebook. Is there another way to access the guides? I have so much respect for the authenticators after reading about all the knowledge you all have.

Comment: not sure if it is vintage never seen format creed like it g33? Was hoping the awesome authenticators here can give me some knowledge / look over it for me. :smile: thanks as always :heart:
Authentic soft Legacy small backpack. It was made in China in 2003 so not yet vintage. Coach started using numbers for factory codes after they ran out of letters.

How far did you get into that thread? You don't need to use Facebook. The ENTIRE and updated Guides are posted right in that thread beginning at Post 14. The earlier posts are background history. Please read the entire thread. I even suggest skimming through the Daria48 Fake Numbers Guide just so you know it's available and what's included. If we suggest reading a thread, take that to mean the whole thing.
 
I hope it wasn't too disappointing! :biggrin: Maybe it can help explain why the words "YKK zipper" can turn me into a raving lunatic.

Last year I asked if a bag was authentic because the zipper wasn’t YKK... Im sure you wanted to slap me but in my defence, I couldn’t see your signature & I didn’t know about the guides...Lmao :lol:
