Could you please help me to determine whether this bag is authentic? I am unable to find any tags with a serial number

Size is:16x12
It was purchased from Poshmark

The creed appears to be fake leather.

Thanks,
Gretchen Schultz

Hyacinth, what do you think of that tag? I had been looking at purchasing this one, too, but ended up with another. The tag hangs a little lower than most Reginas, so I felt it wasn't the original, or even the chain was just replaced for another.

The picture of the tag isn't clear enough, but a lot of older bags have had tags or ball chains replaced.

Can someone confirm that nothing was ever made in Korea? I don't think I've read of any exceptions. I bought a hat on Poshmark. The inside tag was blurry in the photos, but I was more concerned about the size, which I could read. Then I received it today and it says Made in Korea, so I'm assuming it's fake, but wanted to confirm.

Here's the listing: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-hat-5d5e2b66fe19c72db87a9105
Seller: a2ztreasures
and here's my pic of the inside tag.

While I don't promote nor authenticate for Poshmark or its sellers, I do comment on occasion.

If you reread at the "Korea rules," you'll see that they say no handbags or wallets have been made in Korea however there are clothing and accessories (scarves and other softline items) that ARE made in Korea.)

This item is authentic and one such example of a genuine Korean made item.

The style was called a Gramercy North-South Satchel. Below is Coach's catalog page from 1998:

Kindly authenticate please. The bag looks authentic to me (leather feel, details are like my other Coach bags) but at the very bottom of the creed, the word “number” has no letter R. Was this just a factory mistake or is it fake? If it’s fake, I am returning it to Poshmark and never buying from there again.
