That seems to be the case. The early Made In China business bags would usually have some imperfections but there don't seem to be any obvious fakes. That one seems to be a genuine Double Zip Organizer Brief with a messed-up month code which sometimes happened iin newer non-US plants. It can make them tricky to sell though if you get a buyer who's read too many of those bogus "authenticiity guides".

Even a lot of Coachies don't realize just how early Coach started making bags in China.

Right around the time this briefcase came out. So far, 1996 is the earliest year code I've found.

Item: Legacy Pouch
Listing number: 290426902951
Seller: jcompe76

Comments: I have a feeling this is legit, since I spotted it also in the steals and deals forum. One of the questions the seller was asked was if it had a creed #, and the seller said that they couldn’t find the creed# on the bag. Im not very familiar with this bag, and was wondering if there is a patch inside of it or not. Thank you in advance for your help!

One of the experts will be along soon with specifics, but I know that a lot of the smaller items like pouches, wristlets, and swing packs either don't have creeds or have creeds without the usual alphanumeric codes on them. So, IMHO, that isn't a determining factor here in authenticity.

I hope this helps...
