Here's a Thanksgiving giggle for all our wonderful authenticators...
I'm on vacation visiting family on Hilton Head Island, SC and yesterday did a little thrift shopping...usually very good here. In one shop I found several nice older Coach bags - all marked "FAKE" and priced between $25 and $75. All three bags I looked at were made in the United States, one was even Coach Leatherware. Based on what I have learned here and collecting for years, I asked the nice lady why she thought they weren't genuine.
Please make sure you're all sitting down...Her answer: "I took them to the Coach store and they said, if they're not made in CHINA, they're fake!"
I told her about the wealth of knowledge on this forum and suggested she find out the CORRECT answer to her authentication questions.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
