Coach Red Leather Shoulder Bag

I'm thinking that the lining should be signature - not striped.

Thank you so very much.

We've seen a few bags that used the wrong lining that could still be authentic. This isn't one of them. The creed is a mess. It is puffy and there is a frame around the numbers. It is crooked. It has the J factory code that has never been verified for the US. The "o" is very large. The bag seems to be missing the "Coach New York" imprint on the front.
I'd avoid doing business with egtri12.

Although this fake is a current listing, it was already sold:
Coach Red Leather Shoulder Bag



And she also sold this fake:

You're welcome. J was used for China from 2000 through 2003 or 2004. I haven't seen any proof it was ever used for the US.

I FOUND ONE !!!!! :D

But guess what - it wasn't a HANDBAG plant, it was a CLOTHING plant! Which is even more proof that purses from the mid-1990s with J plants are fake. AFAIK, clothing and purses were never made in the same plant.

Some FAKE D6J- Completeds:
