The charm was on these bags at KOP for sure. I also asked which bags would come with one when ordering, knowing I wanted to order from local store no matter, and I was told yes for these upper end Rhyders, the fringe, the small Dakotah. If your friend ordered it, I would complain.
Anyone received the Feather Charm?

That claims to be the necklace version of the feather fob, msrp: $225 (despite the auction saying $158).
My first instinct was "fake", but for those that have this feather, take note of a few things .... the cutting of the leather filaments seems correct. One unique quality of Coach's feather is that it's not merely cuts made through the leather to make the feather filaments. I mean, on the authentic, there really is extra space between neighboring filaments ... tiny thin strips of leather that have been removed, between side-by-side filaments. That's true here as well.
Also, the metal feather seems right, and I'd be surprised if someone copied the "mould" both that well, and that fast.
And as those that have the feather will know, the studs are on one side, and if you flip it over, you see tiny little metal "teeth" from each stud, sticking through to the other side of the leather. This feather in this auction seems to have the right "tiny holes" in the leather, as if from those teeth, but they don't show the studs. Did they just forget to flip it over? Based on the loop at the top of the feather, it looks like they just never "bothered" to show off the studs. There *are* tiny cuts in the leather though, where the stud teeth should rightfully be. ...... And about that little loop of leather at the top of the feather ... it and its single stitch of black thread does look right.
And look at the date ... Aug 31.
It certainly *looks* real to me, especially given those extra slivers of space between the filaments. .... Am I really seeing what I think I am? (Apologies if I sound too surprised.)

I bought this necklace from this same seller a couple of weeks ago. It has everything you mentioned above, so if it's a knock off they did a great job. Just can't figure out where they are getting them from.
I do think it's real ... I say that based on comparison to my own feather fob which came directly from Jax.
What I'm really wondering is if this is a Coach employee. I say that because I note the seller is from NYC, and was confident enough to post the retail price -- yet got that price wrong. As if the price they listed was out-of-date data, and Coach decided to up the price to $225 right before it went live.

Chops are you in the US. Reason I am asking because in Japan or China you are not "randomly selected" to receive the fob. EVERYONE gets in with purchase and you can see it in your cart.
Coach has royally screwed this up. Nothing against you Chops, I am happy that you received it. I have it too because I got one before the put the kibosh on them. But could not get the $60 fob
Hope you are doing well!
This is what I heard from my SA. I think she might have even said that only two flagship stores were giving them out, but I could have misheard or be thinking of something else we talked about.
Sorry, what's KOP? Mine didn't come with a feather fob either, and my SA just told me that it's offered only at select flagship stores too. I tried calling JAX twice, but they answered the suede 33 Rhyder is not supposed to come with the fob. This whole feather thing is a serious mess!
I think she means King of Prussia. They used to have two boutiques. (Do they still have two now, or have they closed one? I know the one across from Vuitton is still there, and has actually moved closer to Vuitton. Don't know about the one in the Court though.).
Baglady, is KOP a flagship? Plaza or Court? That would be news to me.

I ordered the same exact bag, and it came without. So I'm not sure if it's automatically included...
The color block workwear Rhyder 33 comes with it. Several bags were supposed to but they ran out. It was meant as a gift with purchase on certain bags but they ran out!? Wtf is right 😳
