It's authentic. It's not pre-creed. It is pre-serial number, made in the mid 70s.

EDIT!
Thank you Whateve! The two tone and lack of a serial number had me doubting for a bit. And the font on the hangtag - the letters had a "puffy" look - similar to an inauthentic hangtag I have.. or had. I know a hangtag doesn't quantify authenticity - it was just something I noticed on that Courier in the listing.

I love this bag.. Even if it looks like a cartoon character. ;)

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm doing this right but if you could please authenticate this I'd appreciate it. I bought it at a thrift store.

Thank you.

Are coach bags made in only certain countries?
Click to expand...


Coach handbags have been made in more than a dozen countries over the years, in North and Central America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. Most if not all Coach bags CURRENTLY in production are made in China, SE Asia and the Philippines. Coach was originally made in the US but that ended around 2004. Small accessories like wallets have been made in even more countries around the world.

Where a Coach item states it was made can never prove that the item is authentic. But it can often prove that something is fake, but that's for the authenticators here to determine.

One country where Coach handbags, wallets and briefcases have NEVER been made is Korea, North OR South. Any item from those three listed categories that say Made In Korea is fake.

Genuine and made in 2008.

Please don't repost if you don't get an immediate answer, or if you think you did it wrong the first time. Allow the authenticators time to answer. If there's a problem, we'll let you know.

Hi, it was completely an accident. I didn't realize that it would actually post because I had to go out of the site and come back the unfinished original was there. I apologize.

So this bag turned out to be the "Baby Courier". I did some research on Debi the Restorer's site and that's how I came across that name. Not sure if it's really called that but that's what I could find.

She had a dunking and that's when I noticed the zipper pull - has anyone ever seen one like this?
