In answer to your "does S mean made in China?" question, on authentic bags with an S plant code, they were made in China. But it's always best to verify authenticity because just because a bag has a "correct" plant code that matches/agrees with the text on the creed doesn't mean the bag is authentic.Thanks for your reply! I have another coach purse with No. L3S-4983. In an earlier post the same purse was given the green light as being authentic, but it has that S production code. Is that okay in that one? Does "s" mean made in China?
