Item: Coach Patricia's Legacy?
Listing number: n/s
Seller and site where listed: Kijiji - Darae
Link: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-women-bags-...o/coach-shoulder-bag-brown-leather/1568366702
Comments: According to the patch the style code is 9951 - after some research it turns out to the Patricia's Saddle. Although also vintage, but not looking like this bag at all. However is also doesn't seem to fake? It has the outlet circle thingy and the zupper pull inside I think its a few rings like the Rambler? Any help is appreciated

1- genuine, from 1994

2- genuine, 1996

3- genuine Rambler's LEGACY, 1999

Thank you very much again, Hyacinth, for your kind reply and expertise. I really appreciate it. Have a very blessed day!

Sorry, I've never heard of a Patricia's Saddle. Where did you find that name? And the bag in the photos is NOT a Patricia's Legacy either. If you're getting those names from other listings on the internet, please don't use them because so far none of the information seems correct.

I can't even see the creed because the graphic indicating additional photos available won't even work for me. If you can copy and post a photo of the creed and especially the serial number from that listing and also the other photos in that group, please do, because if the serial number in the photo includes 9951, there's a serious problem because the bag in the first 3 photos is NOT a style 9951. Please post the actual photos.

It's an authentic City Bag and was made in 1998. Below is a Coach catalog page describing that style, click on the thumbnail to enlarge.

There is no reason to play coy. His exact words to me: "my friend jumped the gun and asked on tpf about that bag with the patch."

Thanks for all the information. I think someone probably called 9951 by that and every seller on ebay started copying it that. Here are the 2 additional pictures from the listing.

That creed photo doesn't belong to a 9951 Patricia's Legacy. Style 9951 doesn't have a zippered top opening, it has a full-length fold-over flap. And it doesn't have any outside pockets.

This is a style 9951 Patricia's Legacy:


It's possible that the bag was given the wrong stamp at the factory, it's been known to happen. If you're buying it to re-sell, I would NOT recommend buying any bag with that kind of production mistake since it could lead to accusations that the bag is counterfeit.

But I'm still seeing - or NOT seeing - a possible problem. I want our other authenticators to take a look.

@whateve and @BeenBurned - I need more eyes on this one. It's obviously not a Pat's Legacy and looks to me like a 9966 Legacy Zip. But i can't see anything that might be that organizer pocket, it looks like the pocket the creed is stamped on has just a single layer and no pen slots. Can this be something other than a Legacy Zip? If it's a 9966 it should have this pocket. Is there another style that looks similar to the 9966 and that might be the bag in the listing? The Legacy Small Zip isn't wide enough.

This is a genuine 9966 Legacy Zip inside pocket:

So you found that bag in a Google search? Would you please post a link to where it is (or was) listed?

I'm naturally suspicious and my first thought is that the seller on kijiji stole a creed image, not realizing or not thinking she'd be caught.

The inside pocket in the kijiji isn't correct for a legacy zip.

This is the creed shown in the listing and unless you get a credible explanation from the seller, I would avoid Darae.

[klc2021]

Can you authenticate this please? I think it looks like the Equestrian Shopper, but its larger. @Hyacinth had previously mentioned some Equestrian fakes. The creed looked strange to me too as it’s inked as well as impresed, but it could just be new to me. Did Coach ever ink their creeds? Thank you!
