Yes, P was used to Costa Rica. Also M. The reason is that each plant code represents an actual factory, not a country. So each facility would have a different code.
That's good to know! I've never seen a Costa Rican bag with any plant code other than P. I didn't realize there were more factories in Costa Rica. Very interesting, thank you for the info!
 
Hopefully I'm following the proper procedure. I'm looking for authenticity on this Coach bag please.
Welcome to the purse forum! The rules are stated in the first post of this thread. We like to know where you got the bag. If it is or was listed online, we like to know the name of the seller and have a link to the listing. This bag is authentic.

I can upload photos if that would help. Thanks again! I definitely don't want to be the jerk who sells fake Coaches. It'll mean I got burned, but I don't want to pass that on. I really hope it's authentic!
It is against forum rules to post a link to your own listing. If you post photos, we can authenticate. Tell us where you obtained it. If you bought it online, we need a link to the listing and the seller's name.
 
Hi!

eBay removed three of my vintage Coach bag listings. Two of the bags I wasn’t sure about myself when I purchased from my local thrift for resale (see attached pics of Coach B6T- 4917 and Coach D6P-9960), but the one I’m almost positive is authentic (see attached pics of Coach K3H-9303, this is the one I most need an authentication opinion on. Though I do also welcome an opinion on the other two.

Thanks so much for any comments on whether these bags are authentic, and if not, how you can tell.

Best!

***NOTE: The pics did not upload in the correct order, but hopefully, you all can figure out what label creeds for with which bag. Again, thanks***

Omg! I'm so sorry! I missed that in the rules. I'll post pics of the bag and where I got it right now. I honestly just don't want to do someone wrong! Here's pics and original buying info.

Hi!

eBay removed three of my vintage Coach bag listings. Two of the bags I wasn’t sure about myself when I purchased from my local thrift for resale (see attached pics of Coach B6T- 4917 and Coach D6P-9960), but the one I’m almost positive is authentic (see attached pics of Coach K3H-9303, this is the one I most need an authentication opinion on. Though I do also welcome an opinion on the other two.

Thanks so much for any comments on whether these bags are authentic, and if not, how you can tell.

Best!

***NOTE: The pics did not upload in the correct order, but hopefully, you all can figure out what label creeds for with which bag. Again, thanks***
