Just a quick question, were Coach bags ever made in the Dominican Republic? I came across one at a thrift store today, but didn't buy because I have never seen the Dominican Republic listed before as a place where Coach made bags.

Yes they were. Also the US, Italy, Costa Rica, Turkey, Mexico, Thailand (mostly business items), Hungary, China, Vietnam, India, Philippines, and most recently Bangladesh.

We haven't seen any obviously fake bags with DR creeds so they're probably one of the safer lines to buy on the secondary market.

Thank you so much! That's so good to know! I also wasn't aware about them being made in Thailand or Bangladesh either.

Lucky you! I got this style recently in red but mine cost more.

Yes, it's from a well-trusted seller. Hold on for a correction in the style ID.

Sorry about that! It's actually a Pocket Bag, the seller got it right and I didn't. Style 9875 which looks almost identical to the Spectator except for having a gusseted underflap pocket instead of a flat one, which explains why the Spectator was only available for two years.

ETA -Just noticed the catalog page (1989 Fall Preview) lists SOLID Brass hardware. There was a discussion on that subject just recently in one of the other threads or forums.

I noticed the solid brass hardware when I looked up my bag. I think all bags that have skinny buckles like this might be solid brass. My shoulder sac has the same buckles. I wonder if that means the turnlock too. It looks just like any other turnlock.
