VERY CLOSE BUT FAKE!

The back of the turnlock and the indentations for the prongs means it's a non-Coach piece of hardware, but the real proof that it's counterfeit is the very fake serial number prefix with a plant code "R" that so far has only been found in fake USA creed bags. GENUINE R plant codes were used by a Coach plant in Thailand from about 1999 to 2003.

"Strange" doesn't always mean fake. So far I've found a small straw mini hobo from a different Chinese plant but with exactly the same creed and Coach logo and a style number just a few numbers away, and a different bag but with a serial number font that matches another bag in my files from the same Chinese K plant as the bag in your photos. The smaller straw bag is sold but was listed by a well-known Ebay seller who has a strong record for selling genuine Coach and with more than 9,000 Feedbacks.

Everything I'm seeing tells me it's genuine and was made in 2000.

Comments: please authenticate, provide style number and approximate year made.
I was comfortable when I purchased but feel like I need confirmation now that I’ve received it. I’ve added a pic of the creed here. I think it’s better than the seller provided. Let md know if you need anything else. Thank you!

There aren't any obvious red flags but I can't read the serial number, it's almost completely in shadow. If you can ask the seller to send or post a clear readable photo of the entire number I can take another look

Hello, I would like help to know if these two Coach bags I purchased are the real deal. Thank you for your time!

Purchased both items at City wide garage sales this past weekend

Genuine Chelsea Hobo from 1998

 

[Hyacinth]

Here is the second bag from the city wide garage sales this past weekend!
Again Thank you for your time!

I don't authenticate newer styles, so you may have to post again in about a week when our other authenticators should be back from vacation. You don't need to make a new post, just wait until either @BeenBurned or @whateve are back, then use the REPLY button in your original post and ask for authentication.

Would you please authenticate this Daypack I purchased at the estate sale? It's around 9.5" x 7.5" x 5"
Thanks
