Are these legacy shoulder bags real?

They are mising a turnlock. Is there any way to fix that?

The legacies look ok, but here's the thing: The turnlocks were an issue w/the first batch and a lot of bags went to the outlets, but were sold as final sale/as is (will have an "FS" stamped on the creed). If they are marked that way, you CANNOT get them fixed by Coach, so you might want to ask the seller if s/he got them at the outlet/were they final sale and if you could get CLEAR pics of the creeds.

You might be able to take them to a leather repair specialist (or maybe even someone who deals with luggage? Not sure - you could ask generally in the forum as I know quite a few people had this issue and I'm sure someone had to experience this on a FS item) for repair even if they are FS (depending on whether or not you want to be bothered with that).

As for the last one, it looks ok at first glance, but I'm not familiar with that style (not that I'm a walking Coach encyclopedia mind you! LOL!), so I'd either stay away or wait for others to weigh in. I tend to err on the "better safe than sorry" side of things!

The first one posted hasa clear view of the creed and I don't see FS anywhere so would that be ok to get fixed by Coach?

I don't even know if I'll be bidding. I will if they get to a reasonable price for me.

Thanks so much!

I'll ask!

Hi, I'm looking at the following auction, but am not sure if it's the real thing:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=160132886720&rd=1&rd=1

I dunno if it's real, but it's really selling for a low price at the moment (ending in approximately an hour).

I was also wondering (in case this turns out to be a fake) if these are real:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=270139056622&rd=1&rd=1

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=170127344984&rd=1&rd=1

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=220127740821&rd=1&rd=1

Thanks so much for the help.

I Heart Coach - sorry it took me so long to respond! As far as getting the turnlocks replaced, I'd double check with the seller about the final sale thing, but if they're not "FS" then I believe Coach will cover them under the repair policy. However, I think someone (kallison maybe?) had one replaced and it was slightly different than the original one (and if I remember correctly, she had an issue with a somewhat shoddy repair, but I could be confusing that story with something else - I'm pregnant and the brain is NOT working as well as it used to these days). Sorry for not having a definitive answer for you, I'd just hate for you to get something and then not be able to have it live up to your expectations!

As long as they are not final sale Coach will cover them under the repair policy. Tell the seller to send you pictures of the inside of the bag.
