The Kiwi dollar is a problem for you, as is the Canadian dollar for me. At least I don’t have your shipping costs. My sister-in-law lives in the US and is willing to provide a temporary resting space for my hoard until I visit.
You have my sympathy! Enjoy your holidays.

It looks fine.

I believe this is supposed to be a Maggie duffle bag.
I bought this on Poshmark and realized after I received it the o in the number abbreviation seemed to be too large and the S in the serial number looked strange. Also the brass looked faded on the zipper and the inscription on the hardware says solid brass instead of coach. Please help! Thanks in advance. Sincerely Yours, Abby

Thanks again for the expert opinions here! I'm hoping for authentication on another listing, still waiting to hear back from GW on the last one.

Item:Crossbody Saddle
Listing number:82313613
Seller: Goodwill Columbus
Link: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/82313613
Comments: That COA might be handy for packing material ^^ Looking for something low cost for my first rehab attempt and trying to stay just inside the vintage window in black. Luckily my wife isn't too picky when it comes to styles. Thanks in advance for taking the time to look!

I don't think it is authentic. More opinions are welcome.

"FAKE" from me too, in 1999 and 2000 the "R" plant code was used exclusively by a plant in Thailand for business and travel items.

Where is the required photo of the creed stamp and serial number?

We don't need photos of any zipper markings since NOTHING on a zipper, YKK or otherwise, can ever prove a Coach is genuine.

What CAN prove that a Coach is fake, however, is a "solid brass" stamp on the underside of the buckle on bags made after a certain year. And BTW, older Coaches made in the mid-1990s or earlier should NOT have the coach name stamped on the buckles or strap hardware. Except for hangtag-shaped zipper pulls on one specific line, Coaches older than the mid-1990s shouldn't have the name stamped on ANY hardware. I'm not sure where you're finding your information about what to look for on older Coaches, but your source seems to be wrong on a number of very important details.

Please supply a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number. Thank you.
