This one looks challenging but it could be a very lovely and valuable bag!
The link below is for a Legacy Medium Studio Flap Bag 9145 that appears to be in very good condition except that it has a significant flaw. The latch doesn't work because the lock has 2 male parts! I don't know if that could be fixed or perhaps a professional leather worker (shoe repair, luggage repair, cobbler?) could replace/repair the lock?
@Hyacinth has already identified the bag as authentic and
@BeenBurned has discovered that the bag was sold previously for a higher price and cancelled/returned - probably because the flaw with the latch wasn't mentioned in the original listing.
The bag appears to be in good condition otherwise (the hangtag is missing) and of course it could easily be worn without ever fixing the lock because the large front flap would stay loose but closed. And if you got it at a good price and it doesn't work out you could always use it for spare parts - the strap looks very nice.
So fellow-rehabbers, what do you think? I already have too many challenges in my rehab pile so I won't be adding this one, but it is a shame because it appears to be a rare and lovely bag!
