All three are authentic. #1 looks like it has nickel hardware although the description says brass.

Thanks very much, Whatev- I’ve been looking and looking for a Willis and keep getting outbid in auctions. And the prices keep going up!

Thank you so much, I did contact Poshmark to cancel the sale, I'm glad I checked here before it was shipped out. This is the response from the seller....

I would not knowingly sell a fake bag. I will gladly cancel the sale. I will do my own research with Coach directly.

I suggest that you read the following:

lol! she is quoting the words of one of our authenticators!

Was jogafur recommending that you read the Salearea guide or did you recommend it to her?

Hello wonderful authenticators,

It's a genuine Legacy Zip, not a Janice's Legacy, and was made in 1998.

I suggest that you read the following:

I wish her luck in "researching" a fake with Coach.

And although it was kind of her to post a reference to the Salearea Guides, it wasn't necessary since the person who originally wrote them 10 years ago at the request of Salearea also maintains her claim to copyright ownership since they are posted in their entirety here at tPF (including updated information added about 5 years ago) and the author / copyright holder a.k.a. "Hyacinth" is one of tPF's Coach authenticators. I know her very well.

BTW, she also agrees that the "Willis" in question and listed on Poshmark is counterfeit and illegal to sell.

Hyacinth,
You were right about the Cornelia bag, when I cinched up the straps, the buckle was in the proper placement. Thanks again for your expertise!
