I had it authenticated before I purchased it. This is a photo of the serial number. Wouldn't it have an 02 if it was from 2002?

SALEAREA GUIDES! (Hey, I haven't plugged them for weeks - it's time!)

And once again - aside from all the facts in the Salearea Guides, the American Legacy line wasn't introduced until Fall 1994. If we authenticated it we probably didn't date it since everyone here who's been here for any length of time should have already read the Salearea Guides at least half a dozen times and should be able to quote them in their sleep, so why should we give production dates in our answers? You know the saying "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime"? Same principle. The answers are where everyone can find them.

One of the reasons I agreed to research and write them for Salearea is that, unlike Whateve, I'm a lazy-arsed beeeetch who HATES to keep writing and repeating the same information over and over and overand over and overandoverand ... you get the idea. That's X number of minutes in my life I'll never get back again, and at my age those minutes are running out quickly. So I refuse to write the same thing more than once when I've already explained it in detail and everyone here who's been here more than a month has been told where to find it.

And if they haven't bothered to save the link, Google is their friend.

I have read the Salearea Guides in their entirety at least once and referenced them several times. I just don't have them memorized. I bought a lot of bags within a short period of time trying to build up inventory for my Etsy shop and obviously I didn't research the Janice thoroughly enough. Also, when I mentioned that I had the bag authenticated before purchasing it, I wasn't suggesting that it should have been dated for me. I was just worried that it may have been a fake so I went back in the archives to make sure I'd had it looked at before I purchased it. Sorry for all my mistakes on this one.

No problem - I don';t have them memorized either, at least not every detail. But I do have the links saved so I can refer back to them any time I'm not sure of something. The nice thing about the Internet is that you don't necessarily have to memorize things as long as you know where to find them. And the more times you read them, the more you'll remember.

I bought this wallet at Coach or a Coach outlet back in the early 2000s. It's still the best wallet I've ever owned. Anyone know the name of this style? It measures about 4" x 4", and I'd love to get another one off eBay but don't know what to search for! Many thanks in advance for any leads you might have. :)

It's not going to be easy finding it by the name, since after 15 years not many owners will still even remember the name to put it in the listing. But it was called a Bedford Compact Wallet with Passcase, from around 2001, and the style number was 6949. This is the only photo I have, sorry about the small size. They made several different versions of that style in leather and Signature so you just have to keep looking6949_Bedford Compact Wallet with Passcase-2001.jpg :

I have a question about a Park pebbled leather wallet. Was this an Outlet item? I'm trying to see if a gift I received is authentic but I'm only finding the same wallet on Rakuten and on Ebay when I search Google. The person who gifted it to me shops at the outlets a lot but they are also always looking for a bargain. It's a zippered black pebbled leather zip around wallet. Has the Coach care instructions and the white price tag inside the wallet that says the style name and price.

Park is a factory line, not full price. You won't find it at Coach.com and probably not at department stores either. We have an authentication thread you can post to if you'd like here: http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach.889527/
Please read the first post to see what information we need.
