I believe it's just a Legacy stripe tote.
Hi - does anyone know the name of this bag? It was posted on the Legacy reference thread, but without a name.
Thank you!

Following my earlier question about my bag I've done some searching in the web archive and found one that looks almost identical, which is the Bleecker Demi Zip. The measurements are the same, too. Only problem is the serial on my bag is J9E 6151 and the style number for the Bleecker was 9311. Also, my bag has Coach New York embossed into the leather just under the zip.
I've attached further pictures of my bag, the creed and the picture of the Bleecker from the Coach web archive.
I've searched internet auctions and Google for the 6151 and haven't found a thing.
If the numbers don't match up, does that mean my bag mightn't be genuine?

Just because you can't find the number doesn't mean it's fake!
This is the same trap people used to fall into with the old Drilldown, just because a number didn't come up didn't mean that it didn't exist. Google is not a reliable source for serial numbers - unless that number is posted on the internet by someone, it's not going to come up - otherwise every Coach style number ever made would be able to be Googled. The clutch is ten years old - how old is Google?
And plenty of fakes show up on Google too. Please DON'T use it as a reliable reference. Googling a number should be a last resort and anything you find there might not be correct information, depending on the source.
Your bag IS a Bleecker (Coach spelled it with and without the "C") - not all bags from the same line will have similar style numbers. It's called a Pearlized Bleecker Demi Zip and was released for the 1999 holiday season. Your color was just called Pewter, and it listed for $148 in the Holiday 1999 catalog.
Hope this helps!
ladies, I have gone through 15 pages of your posts and 31 pages on ebay.
I have a purse no one can tell me how to clean because they dont know what the name is. I have called Coach but the bag does not have an id #. The CS rep said that is not unusual since the bag is about 20 years old. Oh and the CS computer information does not go back that far. It is dark green with a double drawstring close like a marble bag. An associate at a store said it was pebble leather but the Coach rep says they didnt make pebble leather 18 - 20 years ago. Help. I love the purse and want to clean it up.

You'll have to post pictures. It's impossible to identify and/or give cleaning instructions without seeing it.
did i attach the pictures correctly?
I bought this about 19 to 21 years ago. My son is 20 and I am pretty sure I bought it before I even thought about children.

Noelschick, if it is a textured leather you don't want to use one of the Coach leather cleaners on it. It looks like it is in beautiful shape and I believe that's bottle green colored leather.
It's a pebbled leather from the Sheridan line, similar to Dooney's all-weather leather. You didn't give measurements but if it's about 9 inches wide it's called a Sheridan Marietta Drawstring Bag. The Sheridans only came out in the early 1990's though so maybe your memory has ricked you and blocked out any memories of childbearing.
You shouldn't use any cleaners on those, normally a damp cloth or terrycloth towel should remove any accumulated grunge. The leather is very well sealed and virtually waterproof so any dirt should just be on the surface.
Using cleaners or undiluted moisturizers creates problems because they settle in the "valleys" in the leather and are a beetch to get out. If an area is REALLY dirty you could take a chance and try some very very diluted Dawn dishwashing liquid, maybe a few drops in 1/4 cup water, but that's just a guess. I've never had to go that far with cleaning so please understand that I've never tested this and I'm just pulling that out of thin air - you're on your own if you try it. Be sure to clean it off thoroughly but don't rub the leather hard or you'll wear away the top layer and the color.
You CAN use regular leather cleaner and moisturizer on the smooth leather trim, just be careful not to get it on the pebbled leather, and wipe it off right away with a clean damp piece of terrycloth if you do.
Hope this helps.

Thank you. I guess my son did come first. :-} I was confused because the Coach CS rep said they didnt make pebbled leather in the 90's. I used the leather moisturizer on the leather strap that goes all the way the bottom of the bag and it looks great. I will try the damp cloth on the hunter green textured part.
Good luck. And of course if you try any kind of dishwashing liquid, use the regular kind and not the antibacterial kind with bleach.
