I was so excited to see this gray Coach bag. Until I looked closer and read the creed for this "leather" bag. The creed reads: made from the finest materials and trimmed in leather.
Rats. Fake?

That bag is authentic.

As with everything else Coach, there are exceptions to nearly every rule.

After having discussed several listings for style 9992 backpacks, I spent a bit of time looking at listings.

Is this one authentic and a Coach mistake or is it Foach?

In addition to the N month code, the G plant code isn't the size and placement that we're used to seeing from the G plant.

TIA!

Super kind seller, responded immediately to my request for creed pic but maybe my eyes aren't working because I only see 3 numbers for style. And weren't the perf styles much much later than 2000? It has a bid and auction ends Tuesday.

All sorts of nonsense with this listing. Have a request in for creed and more pics. But they state it is style #301 and brown when picture is obviously a black bag.

Are there Coach 3 digit styles?

TIA.

Hi guys, I have this orange courier that I would like to rehab. As I was looking through it I noticed it has a very different zipper that a lot of the other NYC bags I have. I am pretty sure it is authentic, but I never hurts to check! Thanks!!

The newest proveably genuine bag I've found from the G plant was from August 1998, an H8G- code. The entire serial font is completely different from the one in your photo. Here's a photo of a slightly older one but it has the same details as the H8G- serial and also has an outlet mark. The entire serial prefix including the "No" as well as the 9s in the style number are all different. I always like to see evidence from the bag construction that backs up the "fake" diagnosis but I think we've seen several other bags with that wonky serial font that also had other problems to say that it's almost certainly fake.

As for the N code, it would be very unusual to see that mistake made at a US plant, although it's possible.

Another problem is the shape of the rings holding the top strap, the fake has rectangular rings and the genuine Top Handles have D-rings. And I think you or Whateve mentioned a day or two ago that style 9992 doesn't seem to have been made much later that the early part of 1997. Has anyone found any genuine versions with a Summer 1998 date code? The Daypack was introduced in 1998 and was very similar to the Top Handle except for having a front flap instead of the front pocket, and they also still had the original leather Backpack #529 in production which was the same size as the Top Handle #9992. I don't think they would have sold three such similar styles at the same time.
