Item: NWT/NIB Vintage Coach Brass Hang Tag Key Chain
Name/Number: Promo Brass Keyfob 7201
Seller: gguillot
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/NWTNIB-Vintage-Coach-Brass-Hang-Tag-Key-Chain-5bd136a40cb5aad27854acb9

Comments: This item has piqued my curiosity, especially since the seller can provide multiples. I know that vintage coach bags marked “Made in Korea” are often fakes. I also know that Poshmark is not the most reliable site for purchasing authentic goods, and that fakers have been known to create fake boxes, tags, tissue, etc. as well as fake products.

But this item is marked as “Promo Brass Keyfob 7201” and the box is stamped “Korea” so I was wondering if this could be an authentic Coach item that was made in Korea during this era? Or is this just another clever fake?

Curious minds want to know, thank you!

While I've not seen (or taken notice of) Korean-made keychains, that keychain is fine and the box is also.

I wonder if it was a GWP item, thus the "promo" designation.

It's interesting because I had one of those fobs that looks identical to that in the listing but mine shows the style as 123/123G. Mine was in a different box though:

I have the same keychain in my files as 7200. I believe 123G was the same thing in a gift box.
