Creed Questions - letters, codes, etc. . .

Any info on new bags?
My questions are:
1. Did Coach once again begin putting id on the creed, and
2. if so, do new bags ever begin with 2 letters, followed by the dash and then a series of numbers?

Yes they started stamping the serial numbers again in 2017. BUT some styles are still using numbers that Coach simply made up and don't match the actual style numbers of the bag, especially on some 1941 styles. All the recent bags from the last 2 or 3 years that only have 2 letters as the first part of the serial number also have "fake" style numbers. It is incredibly stupid of Coach to change some numbers to show the actual style numbers and not others, and it also makes it much harder to authenticate them. There's a good example of a "fake" RG-20315 style number, although the actual Coach style number is 57230, in several recent posts in the Authenticate thread, starting here

Hyacinth thanks again. I looked at the link (didn't come up in my earlier site search), and the bag I'm questioning has the same creed as pictured there, so I'll assume it's authentic?

You'd have to post full photos at Authenticate This Coach for BeenBurned to look at. I don't do recent styles. She'd probably need to see the same photos that she asked for from the poster in the Authenticate thread.
