Thank you @Hyacinth and @BeenBurned. It's good to know.
Could I get a check on these too or did I post something incorrectly?

The first two look OK. There aren't enough details of the tan wallet to authenticate, but more pictures probably wouldn't make much difference. It's probably genuine.
 
Another fabulous haul of goodies...may your New Year be even better.
I know! Problem now is to cross the border! OMG! Hope there are no CDN custom officers reading this! Wish I win the million lotto for us crazy Coach people,(especially Narnanz the distance makes your shipping so expensive, oh! and the NZ dollar, me too with that..CDN$) can go thrifting in New York!!! :nuts::nuts:
 

Item Name: Navy Leather Bag - The first one (made in Korea) is fake.

The second looks good.

I think the third is okay but the serial font is different from the more common G plant. So please wait for @Hyacinth and/or @whateve for confirmation.


The third one with the L5G-0511 serial is definitely fake
I definitely questioned the "G" font and didn't think the bag looked like a business or travel item so tried to find what style 511 would look like.

When I found this, I thought it might be okay but suggested second and third opinions. THANKS HYACINTH!

Wow-you are all a wealth of knowledge. :smile: I have been reading this forum the past few days and I must say Ive learned so much! And feel more confident ebay’ing for bags rather thank picking them up at thrift stores or yard sales.

I picked up this beat up bag as a rehab/art piece, a good bargain whether authentic or not for the purpose. Could you advise on authenticity?
