Saw this vintage backpack at the doctor's office last week. Then saw it again in another color when I went to the outlet on another lady!

Omg, I wrote this bag off because I thought it wasn't crossbody wearable! I might have to hunt one down!
I spotted this beautiful mahogany Court bag today at Ralph's:
(Flip-flops? Yes, the sun is finally out, so it's back to the default footwear choice here in coastal California!)

I see people wearing flip flops here but it is still too cold for me!
Hii.. thank you soo much for the information [emoji120] I am assuming that one is the vintage one? [emoji16] kinda drooling over the vintage one lately
Most likely but can't say for sure without looking at the serial number. They were re re-released also in the archival two tone leather.
ETA: the archival ones won't rehab as nicely as the older ones.
Yes, that is the original, not the 2012 Legacy version. Rambler's Legacy was made starting around 1998 through the early 2000s. There were also some made in China around 2005. I can't remember if they were included in the classics that were sold around 2011-2013. Only bags made before 1999 are technically considered vintage so most are probably not. However, there isn't a significant difference between a bag made in 1998 and one made in 2001, for instance.
Thank you. I was going to say anything before year 2000 should be the same leather. But then I remembered the 2004-2005 ones and I don't think the leather was same as those from before.
I've had a 2001 Rambler's Legacy and a 2002 stewardess and both had great leather. I don't remember having any all leather bag made after 2002 that had that wonderful leather. The 2004-2005 leather is pretty bad. It feels a lot like a fake I bought once.
Oh no! I didn't know 2004-2005 were that bad! Thanks for sharing. Ah so 2002 is the cut off if you want nice leather. Got it. [emoji4]
There are bags with nice leather made in 2004-2005, just not the unlined classics. I've had really nice lined bags from that era.
Thanks. I meant to say specifically for that style 9061.
Hi whateve,
Thank you for the explanation. I always learned lots of things from this forum. Currently waiting for my vintage Regina to arrive that you authenticated for me [emoji4][emoji7][emoji16]
