It looks good.
Thank you!
Yesterday, when I was at the store I asked an SA to let me see the bag (it was being held hostage behind the counter) and I pulled out my print-out of you list of fake numbers and info to check it against the bag.
The SA said to me "do you carry that with you all the time?" and I said "I try to!" She looked at me like I was from Mars so I said "I like vintage bags but I have bought some fakes and I don't like that!"
She didn't look impressed, but I was grateful for your expertise because I checked out a second bag while I was there and the number was on your list! Thanks again!
Oh, no, not the court bag, but thank you!!
I tried to link it directly to the one, it is titled New York bag, and it is a more British tan colored pouch style bag, the creed states Made in New York City...
Please post the measurements, and whether there are any slip pockets on the back or underneath the flap. No need to do it right now, I really need to get some sleep.

Handbags with S codes marked as US-made are still questionable, at least for me. Remember, many plant code histories are still speculation until we can confirm that a bag we're 100 percent sure is genuine has those year and country codes.
Thanks, NSP, I've seen a few of those, and one or two other styles too.
Interesting how, at least in the mid to late 90s, when Coach was testing a new plant in places like China or Thailand they'd restrict them to business and travel bags until they felt they were ready for handbag production.

You may want to ask that in the main Coach forum, or call Coach Customer Service and give them the style number, rather than asking in the authentication thread.
sorry...was having trouble posting the auction link in to verify it- will do..have a great day!
Hi, I'd love to see that list. Is it on this forum? I did a search here for "fake serial" and nothing came up.
Can you tell me where it is? Thanks.

The information I am referring to came from the links below. I copied and pasted the text into a Word document and it is 7 pages long; but that's okay because I printed it double-sided, and the numbers are all bolded so they are easy to scan.
Having this info with me has been helpful on several occassions, especially at stores that will not accept returns or exchanges.
