has anyone come across a bag with nickel hardware that has a brass pocket zipper? I just got a Rambler's Legacy made in 2000 at the C plant that has a brass zipper. My 1999 Rambler's Legacy with nickel hardware from the same plant has a nylon zipper. Does anyone have a bag from the late 90s/early 2000 with nickel hardware that has a metal pocket zipper?

I've noticed a few listings with that combination, but don't think any of my own bags use it.
Thanks! I'm convinced it is authentic but I was very surprised to see the brass zipper. Then I started wondering if they used nylon zippers for the pockets of most of these bags rather than having metal nickel or silver zippers during this era. I wonder if it installation of the wrong zipper was just a mistake or they were using up supplies. Maybe since black bags came with both brass and nickel hardware, the zippers were installed before they had decided to make some of them with nickel hardware.
That's great! Would love to see pics if you get a chance.I found a lovely Coach Court with silver hardware and it should be here tomorrow. I'm so excited!
I wanted the style of the Louis Vuitton Pochette metis WITHOUT the almost-2k price tag - and the Court really fit the bill. I bet the leather is soooo amazing!
I posted this in the rehab club too because it is in sorry shape, but I have this bag and I believe the style is extremely rare. I think I've only seen 3. I think the piping is plastic. It is the only part that doesn't look worn. I think it is plastic on mine too.

Same here. Chains are a no go for me too. Too bad I really like the color.
Shazam!
Posting so someone can prepare for the 3rd one that may be about to surface [emoji846]

OMG, this is seriously one of the prettiest bags I've ever seen!
LOVE IT!!!
Thank you all! I love seeing others' pics so thought I'd reciprocate [emoji846] And Fossil fobs are fantastic - had to ban myself from the outlet.
I just went to the Fossil outlet. It was really disappointing. No cute fobs at all.
