Not the pull...the actual metallic hardware of the zipper. I'm pulling out all of mine too.
Ahh yes I see it now! Wow, I learned something tonight!

Well, the factory Legacy bags were made to be lower priced, lighter alternatives to the original Legacy bags. Personally, I think if you are comparing them to original Legacy or Lindsay, they will pale in comparison! Not dissing the outlet Legacy bags, they were made specifically for the reasons above, but most of us w/the original Legacy bags, or bags such as Lindsay, Lily, Gigi, etc, can really tell the difference, and not in a good way. As far as the zipper thing, that I know nothing about and never even noticed. If you are unhappy with it, just return it for a FP bag that is being sold at outlet prices.

No, the Coach bag does not necessarily have to have the YKK zipper. I have a swingpack that my mom bought from Macys that doesn't have the YKK zipper. I might have another bag that doesn't. I'd have to look. But like I said earlier, it doesn't necessarily have to have YKK.
Just did a check, and all zippers on everything I have from bags to accessories have YKK zippers.
Oh no, don't get me wrong - the bag is adorable, and while I can obviously tell the difference between it and my Lindsay, I'm just concerned about this one little difference. Just wondering why COACH strayed away from using YKK for the zippers on this bag. I wish it were as easy as just taking it back but while my eyes can see a difference in the two Legacy's my wallet can too and it trumps my for a FP Legacy bag.
Oh how I wish it weren't so...
I have 2 factory Soho bags and one pink Soho wristlet and they have the "Coach" stamp on the buckle. That was a particular line and I enjoyed seeing that "Coach" stamp. Unfortunately, their later boutique Soho flap bags are missing the "Coach" stamp. So, it's not necessarily a factory issue. Maybe it's just less attention to detail overall.
The Coach lozenge stamp is on the left-hand corner of the buckle.
I think they are cute - I would probably get one of those outlet Ali-type bags if they would come out with those in more colors.
^ITA, TallyCoachMom on the Coach stamp on the buckle!^
You're welcome, TallyCoachMom. The boutique bags with the huge brass turnlocks should all have the Coach lozenge stamp on the bottom of the brass plating.
It's hard to see on this gorgeous Madeline but it is on the bottom of the brass plate facing us. I have posted the drilldown and my own bag for comparison.
