The most recent apparently genuine G plant codes in my files are from 1997, but that doesn't mean a lot when we're talking about late 1990s to very early 2000 decade serial numbers. Everything was in a state of flux because of the move to China and we've seen stamps cobbled together from older stamps that may have been retired and then dragged out of Coach's junk drawer for a few months rather than issuing a new plant code.

The bag itself has too few details to prove authenticity AND has an incorrect style number too, the Littleton Drawstring should be style number 4144, NOT 4114. The 2000 date code in the serial could be another problem since the bag was Introduced around 1995 and pretty much disappeared after that. The hangtag looks strange too but the photos aren't large enough to see details. The hangtag on the genuine 1995 version was also much bigger. When you consider that the bag was only about 4x6 inches the hangtag looks smaller than the standard tag, below are pics of a blue one from 1995 and the questionable red-orange one (which doesn't seem to be a 2000 color either).

Right now I'm calling it Questionable without more proof but there'e no way I'd buy it or advise anyone else to buy it either.

Genuine from 1995:

and the bag with the J0G-4114 serial:

More opinions?

next time, break them up into more than one request. It is hard to keep so many bags straight.
1. fake
2. authentic
3. fake
4. authentic.

Welcome to TPF, @Nelipao10.

Are or were these bags purchased from an online listing? Even if purchased from a thrift store, you should try to return the fakes since it was illegal for them to sell the counterfeit items and you can't do anything with them either.
