Well, I bought 2 Coach bags for $5 today! I stopped at 3 garage sales. I struck out on bags at the first 2 so I almost didn't stop at the last one. As I walked up the seller said "If you see something you like, talk to me, we can make a deal!" And she was right!
I am waiting for authentication but I am pretty sure that they are genuine. The first bag is a Janince's Legacy, this is my first JL bag. It is very beat up but since it is black and intact I think it will rehab well.
I had never seen the second bag before (and I still don't know what it is) but it looked like a small, round, slate gray flap bag in very good shape except for missing the hangtag. But when I opened it up I got a big surprise - under the flap and inside it is a gorgeous periwinkle blue! I hope that the outside is just dirty and a bit faded and the color will come back with rehabbing, because I love that blue!
The Janice's Legacy was marked $8 and the gray/blue bag was unmarked. I carried them over to the seller and asked "How much for both bags?" When she answered "$5" I said "Okay".
The authentication pics are at the links below, any idea of the style name for the little blue one?
