It's a gorgeous color too. You don't find many in that color and most of the older bags in light colors are basket cases. Nice find!

Thanks! I love this color! I have the small shopper in the same color but this one is nicer. The panels on the small shopper are different colors and the handle is sort of yellowed. I think that no one else bid on this one because they thought it was fake.

Just when I want to throw my hands up in disgust and swear off of ebay forever, a gem comes in the mail. Please tell me this Legacy Small Flap bag is authentic! Did Coach ever call this a Trail Bag? I would guess that this color is called aqua but it looks more of a mint green to me.

Gorgeous color, what a find! :-) I love it! Looks like mint ice cream, yum.

Myself and another gal are desperately trying to find this fob that is being sold as authentic and we're pretty sure it's fake. It is the five purse key fob and it has made the rounds but I can't find it! Any help much appreciated! We've asked for more pix, sorry for the blurry one.

I'd say fake. The colors are right but the placement on the chain is wrong. The small hangtag is missing too. Those Multi-Purse keychains were faked a lot. The real one should look exactly like the picture below.

Hi Hyacinth,

I have one more Tribeca handbag for you to authenticate. It is similar to the brown one above, but a little bigger, plus I like this color much better. It looks ok compared to others I've found, but I want to make sure. The seller is new.:smile1:

There's a BIG problem with the serial number. The Tribeca line wasn't introduced until early 1998, and first appears in the "New Collections" catalog from that time. This is backed up by other bags with style numbers starting with 90xx with the last two numbers toward the high end of that sequence. There may be a rare number like 9085 that goes back a lot farther but Coach usually followed a definite pattern in the number sequence and a bag supposedly made in late 1995 just doesn't fit. The font of the serial number is also totally wrong for a bag from the C plant made in 1995.

There are other problems too including the stitching and the stamp on the front but the serial number is what's raising a big red flag. The color seems odd too, it should be a dark muted olive green closer to what's shown in the hangtag photo but the photos of the inside look as if the natural suede inside is almost a light gray. I know you can never depend on the colors shown in photos but this seems pretty extreme. There's a genuine one here for comparison:

I don't recommend buying that bag.
