Thank you for the quick reply. What part of this creed indicates the year it was made?
the prefix of the creed number is A4P. The A stands for the month, January, the 4 stands for the year, and the P stands for the factory, Costa Rica. Coach started using this numbering system in 1994 so the 4 should stand for 1994. 2004 would normally be indicated by 04. I believe this was the last year they used the Costa Rican plant so they probably didn't have a way to add the zero in and didn't want to make new stamps when it was going to be closed soon.

Leather appears to be genuine and the coach monogram is on the fabric on the inside. I’ve tried every other avenue I can think of to authenticate this. Please help!

They were bought from mastercharlesmasters on Ebay, item # 173612924508.

Thanks. I THINK they're genuine but for future reference we usually need more than 2 photos.

Thank you for the additional photos. I agree, they appear genuine.

You're welcome. You do realize that genuine means they are authentic, right?
I agree that the 2 bags you're questioning are authentic and I don't see any red flags in any of the other items in the listing (although additional pictures would have helped).


Darn, lol. Thanks for your patience with me.
I'm curious as to why you said, "Darn" if they're fine.
