Sorry, it's fake. You can never depend on Google as an authentication source.

Coach has NEVER made handbags, small leather goods, wallets, or briefcases in Korea. That country, at least the ROK, has been a major source of counterfeits from Asia for at least 40 years.

Thank you so much for this!! I'll take note of this for future purchases

Thank you, Hyacinth for both the authentication and spelling correction.

Just a side note - Coach DID use the "Bleeker" spelling without the C in only one bag that I know of, the Soho Bleeker Bag 4153 which I think was introduced in late 1995. It's possible that whoever picked the name for that bag didn't know the correct spelling of the street's name (obviously not a native New Yorker OR a Simon and Garfunkel fan). The mistake was corrected in all future Bleecker names.

And that's the Coach History Lesson for today.

The number stamped in silver was put there by the leather supplier.

There's nothing wrong with the creed or serial number.

Thank you so much, Hyacinth!

Yes, and it's genuine.The date code is for very late 1995 although since the plant made a mistake and used N for the month code it may have actually been made in early 1996. The color looks like Garnet.

Thanks Hyacynth! “Garnet”, what a pretty word for this red.

Please authentic this. And Thank You very much. (And I wish you could tell me it this one is worth the selling price )
Item: Court bag from the 80's, color Putty
Seller: Ebay, VegasVixen
Line: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204051187237
Comment: I wonder if there is a possibility that washing and conditioning might lessen the staining on the inside flap.
Thanking you in advance for your opinion.

It's authentic. The staining on the inside flap might improve. It depends on what made it. I think it looks like there were ink marks someone was trying to clean off and probably used alcohol or acetone which removed some of the leather color. The outer rings might improve but the lightness most likely won't improve.
