I've never really been sure if they did or not. The few bags with the Mexico creeds always looked like they weren't up to Coach's usual standards, but if the third digit in the serial number is N, it's possible that a few were actually made there. But looking at the stitching, I can understand why they may have only made them there for a short time. They were already moving their production to China so maybe the Mexico deal was just a short-term thing. I'm not absolutely sure that your Daypack is genuine, but it seems to be.

The Costa Rican plants were open for quite a bit longer, maybe five or six years. There's even a tiny chance that a few bags and accessories were made in Thailand, but both Coach and Coach experts say no. See why trying to learn about Coach can be so frustrating sometimes?

Thanks Hyacinth and starrymaz for your advice, I asked the seller for pictures of the creed and she did send, along with other items that she has not listed in her ebay shop yet. I'm hesitant but will wait for more pictures of the wallet as I would like one to match the pink floral bag I went with in the second link of the four I originally posted.
