HI! I havent been over here in a while. =-) Was hoping that someone knew the name of this bag. I know it is an older one. Thanks!
If it's about 10 by 6 inches it's a Kent Bag from around 1993.
Hello! I need help with my Legacy French Purse. It seems when I search for this wallet, I have come up with different style numbers (41505, 41956, 40718, 40240)...I'm confused! I also saw a similar french purse but with a zipper compartment on the back instead of the kiss lock closure like mine. Could someone help me ID this wallet and tell me, if anybody knows, the correct style number and retail price? I believe I've purchased this wallet around 2006-2007, I'm not quite sure now, it's been awhile. TIA!

41956 is a signature pattern with zipper coin section
40718 is a signature pattern with kisslock
40240 is a legacy stripe pattern with kisslock
And although you didn't include this style:
41954 is a leather wallet with zipper coin compartment
Your wallet looks like it might be 41506 though there may be other similar styles.
Wow! Didn't realize how many different style #'s there are for this particular french purse. My wallet isn't patent (as you may have already seen) but it is all leather. What type of leather, I don't know.
BTW, another thing that confuses me, how come some wallets of this style are called "Leigh" and others "Gigi"? Also, Would you happen to know the retail for this wallet? Thanks a bunch!
I described the first 4 style numbers because those were the ones you referred to as having found that were similar. The intent was to show that those 4 styles didn't match your wallet, nor did the 5th one I found.
But the last style number mentioned might be the correct one that appears to match yours, 41506.It's a regular matte leather.
The words Leigh or Gigi would be key word spamming. Those names have nothing to do with the wallet.
The wallet just matches some bags from the 65th Anniversary line and sellers use those descriptors against ebay rules.

I am new to the Coach world and recently got a Coach bag. I've heard that all the "C's" on the outside of the bag have to be in straight form and should not be cut off at the seams. Is this correct? Please someone take a look at my purse and tell me what they think of its authenticity.
I thank you in advance and hope I can help someone in the future.
Thanks alot, Moya C.

Please take whatever you read in "authenticity guides" with a grain of salt.
Every Coach "rule" has exceptions and some of the "rules" aren't even true.
As for matched patterns, generally, center front and center back seams will be matched and the right and left are mirror images of each other. But there are exceptions to this rule. (Your bag isn't an exception. The center seams are matched properly.)
On items with curves, corners and bottoms don't always match perfectly. It's impossible to get perfect matches when there are curves.

Would love some help IDing this Coach my MIL handed down. Also, there is a small pink spot on it with doesn't come off with baby wipes. I thought it was lipstick but now I think it might be nail polish. Any advice about removing it?
My MIL is rough on her bag so please don't think it was ME who scrunched it all up like that! Also sorry for terrible lighting - I can take a photo outside tomorrow if this one is insufficient.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

What BeenBurned said. Most authenticity guides are totally unreliable and should never be depended on for any kind of authentication. A little common sense is all it takes to blow holes in many of their "rules". For instance, how would you sew the sides of that bag if you couldn't cut off some of the Cs along the seams? Go ahead, try to figure out how to do it.
My signature says what I think about those BS guides.
Maybe a Straw Shopper Tote? That's what I have in my files including the question mark. Let's hope someone has an exact name for it.
