I'm not sure it's fake. I've seen other bags with that same serial formatting and K3H serial prefix that have looked ok, and that's been mentioned in a few other posts. None of those serial numbers should be reported unless there's something else on the bag proving it's fake. I'd rather take a chance not reporting a fake than risk reporting a genuine bag.
In this case, it's very possible that Coach re-released an older style as a catalog or online special. They've done it dozens of times with older styles, like the Stewardess. As for the plant code, the H code stopped being used by Costa Rica some time in the 90s and its perfectly possible it was used for a short time by one of the last US plants - leather bags were still being made here until at least 2004.

I have the same duffle but a little older (NYC creed), other than the fact that mine has the grommets reversed (the dimples are on the outside under the tail of the strap), no differences. The bag looks good to me.
Mine is 14" tall at the buckles, 9" across the bottom and the pocket is 6 3/4" across if you want to check the measurements.
Hyacinth authenticated mine here: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-763164-495.html#post24163792 if you want photos.
I have doubts about this one:

Fake - the font in the Coach logo on the hangtag and the shape of the Cs on the bags are completely wrong.
Coach only made 3 - CORRECTION, 4 - Multi Handbag keychains - 1744, 6359 and 92019, and this year's 64528

The seller of the fake I posted got her bag taken down, relisted then taken down again and not relisted. I think she gets it now but she's turned into a keyboard warrior. Why? No clue
Coincidentally, there's a current listing for the authentic version of the keychain that gftryjk's listing is trying to copy.

Can anybody check this one for me?

It's authentic but nowhere near vintage. It was made in 2007 so it's only 6 years old.
Hello all I would like some help with authenticating and also naming this pre-1994 coach bag.
Item - BT rectangle top zip bag with long strap and 2 outside slip pockets(one on each side full length). LOL I don't know how else to describe it
Seller: goodwill $5.00
Link: http://s2.photobucket.com/user/cavyart/library/Pre-94 bag
Comments. I really don't have much doubt this is authentic. It's SUPER well made, extremely thick, heavy leather...you forget really that even the vintage mid-late 90's bags don't have this thick of leather..well many of them don't anyways. Oh and it has the old style one-sided hang tag. yay!
Also the measurments are approx:
Length 11.5
Height 7.5
depth 3-3.5 top to bottom
My main question is What the heck bag is this one? I've seen it several times posted on different vintage/rehab threads but I can't seem to locate it again. I love the old bags that are pre-94 but unless it's one of the REALLY well known styles (like willis, city, or janice/patricia legacy) then it's hard to find out what it's called and what it's actual style number is. If you know this info I would greatly greatly appreciate it....because i might be in love with this bag.
! Thank you.

! Thank you.Hi all, as you can tell by my number of posts (1), I am new to this forum and Coach in general. I'm only looking for a black Court Willis and there are so many for sale in varying prices, so I wanted to make sure I was getting something that will actually hold its value (i.e., real!).

Thank you! I have a 25% code for full-priced Coach in-store and online, so debating whether the work of authenticating buying online is worth it!

Thanks! I was pretty sure because the shape of the C's on the fakes tend to look like horseshoes and the back of the hangtag on an authentic keychain isn't stamped with "Coach" since it is already on the front.
