Thank you Hyacinth, I just read through your article "SaleArea", I've learned a lot from it! But I'm curious do you have the list of plant codes and their matching country?

Oh my goodness!
There was a time when Vestiaire Collective considered themselves too good for Coach. At the time, they'd only sell luxury brands.
Well, now that they've "lowered" themselves to Coach, they've got a number of fakes. And the sad part is that it wouldn't have taken much research for them to verify before peddling this junk!

Every once in a while, an Etsy seller will end a listing of a fake if contacted and if she's an honest seller. (It just happened two days ago! I let a seller know and she ended the listing!)

Seller: Disneygurl2u
Unfortunately this person believes the bag IS authentic from her “research”
Made in Korea fake

Made in Korea fake
disneygurl2u is either lying or she's getting bad information!
And she also has 2 listings for the same POS.
$299: https://poshmark.com/listing/RESELLING-Coach-Briefcase-307-6017610acb23aa1b7cc0e27d
$164 (not for sale but still listed with lots of her own comments): https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-Briefcase-STOP-REPORTING-AS-A-FAKE-5d27c06b65d17fd7e41e7995
I did report both!
BTW, feel free to tell disneygurl2u that Coach bags were NEVER made in Korea and she's welcome to come and ask about her bag on AT Coach.
This is funny. In the ended listing, she even posted a link to this thread on ebay where one of the Coach experts states in post #4 - So I don't know where DISNEYGURL2U is getting her information or if she's reading it:
"COACH DOES NOT, AND HAS NEVER, MADE PURSES OR HANDBAGS OF ANY KIND IN KOREA.
They did make some small accessories and clothing items, but never purses! Anyone who bought a purse thats stamped Made In Korea bought a fake.
Please read the Salearea Guides and the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers Guide. And please dont post information here about authenticity, let the experts answer the questions.

I've found that when multiple users report fakes on Mercari, the listings are more likely to be removed.
