Sorry, that's a very commonly faked style and I'm not comfortable authenticating it without photos of a known genuine bag to compare it to.

And the few others listed at Ebay don't help, neither one with an interior photo is showing a Legacy lining, and one of those has exactly the same plant code as the bag in question - the creed stitching looks different too.

Even though they're different colors, I don't remember Coach using different linings in the same style bag before. If someone else does, hopefully they'll be able to stop in over the holidays and take a look.

I found another example of the same style with legacy lining as well as another with solid lining.

Here's legacy lining: http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Coach-GUC-Signature-Legacy-Tote-11098/18553290

And here's solid lining: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-11098...406?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item336f971516

I'm not familiar with either of the sellers whose listings I've referenced above though I don't see red flags in any of either sellers' listings.

That said, I have no idea whether the bag in the listing you've referenced is authentic or not because it's so well faked.

Sorry but I'm not much help.

The bag is Legacy leather, not Garcia. The color is camel.

I don't like the camel legacy leather because it gets icky dry looking spots on it.

Some sellers say Vachetta Leather. Coach says it is Legacy Leather. I consider vachetta to be a naked leather that is untreated. I do not believe the Legacy Line is vachetta but I could be wrong.

She does not show enough photos to confirm condition of the bag. You want to see the back of the bag and also check for color transfer.

Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it. I did not know much about the different leathers.

Thanks! Merry Christmas! The first one is more urgent because it is ending today. I was wondering if the fact that these bags are in unusual colors is something that I should be worried about because I thought I read somewhere that most of the older bags were only made in browns and black.

Thank you both and Happy Holidays.

This bag is indeed confusing. Will make a mental note to avoid this bag.

I only have time to comment on the first one right now. I'd really want to see a better photo of the creed or at least be able to read the serial number before making any authentication. There WAS a Periwinkle color available in 1997, not a Baby Blue as the seller describes it, and the color has also shown up on fakes.

I just noticed the name of the other seller. They've been mentioned here several times before as mixing real and fake or just not bothering to have things authenticated. Unfortunately because they use an underscore character in their Ebay ID it doesn't come up in our Search, but if you search here for " le franco ricain " without the characters you'll find more information. NOT RECOMMENDED, although none of these bags appears to be fake.
