Oh and...my daughter goes to Costco and for me Kirkland was their store brand groceries! I am a bit confused here! Pardon my ignorance!

 

[Jacynthe]

Yes, sometimes you can find Coach bags at Costco.

Thank you whateve! I sent my previous post before I saw what you wrote. Were the Coach bags they sold of quality?

 

[Hyacinth]

Thank you very much Hyacinth! Are you able to clarify for me, I don't think I understood.. Costco sold Coach bags?

Yes, there are still a few on their website. But some "big box" chains have also been conned into selling fakes in the past.

I never saw them myself. I can't remember if they were outlet bags or not. I don't think they made anything special for Costco.

Thank you both Hyacinthe and whateve! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge! As well as the the other authenticators who assisted me in previous inquiries.

They're apparently older outlet styles.

These look like FP styles that have been transferred to outlet.

Thank you Hyacinth for taking your time to send this.

Yes, I think you're right. I don't remember the larger Mercer Satchels being in stock at the boutiques for at least 2 or 3 years, probably longer. It looks like they have a Mercer 35 listed, and I know I bought my Mercer 30 about 3 or 4 years ago from the FOS.

But if a Costco member missed out on one of those older styles, it might be worth a minute or two of their time to check it out.

What does FOS mean? I see it periodically in threads.

Factory Online Sale - the Factory Outlet sales that used to be by invitation and maybe still are for all I know. Someone else might have more details or you can check the thread here in the Coach Selling forum. If you're outside the US, I don't think you can order but again, I'm not sure.

Yes. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it was authentic?

Yes. Too bad it's not.

 

[Ronick79]

Thank you. I did look first and I searched, I know I’m not posting it right.

Dear Authenticators, I bought these two bags and sadly, couldn’t wait for a check on their authenticity. However, I should be able to request a return/refund if they’re not genuine. Thanks very much for checking.
