I was told that if the zipper has a YKK stamp on it, it's authentic...was I misinformed?

Please don't EVER depend on the garbage that's been posted in all those online "authenticity guides". Almost every one of them is partly or completely wrong and most of them are just copy over copy over copy of the same mistakes, misinformation and just plain lies that keep getting Copied and Pasted by a whole stack of copycats.

There are very few Guides that I'd trust. There's a pretty good basic visual guide posted by some Goodwill employees in Tacoma:

http://ourgoodwillstore.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/how-to-authenticate-coach-bags/

but the best information about fakes and fake "Rules" is a series of six guides posted by seller Salearea at Ebay and researched and written by me. Two of them deal directly with the YKK zipper nonsense and the other so-called rules and why they're almost always wrong. If you sell, you still need to have your Coaches authenticated before listing but these six Guides may save you from making some serious and expensive mistakes. I STRONGLY suggest reading them all at least once and Saving or Bookmarking the links:

You also need to Save and refer to either of the two Lists showing the most commonly-used fake Coach serial numbers, one by me here at tPF and the other posted by Daria48 at Ebay:

Definitely navy is cooler than black. It is also cool to get the first style ever made (at least that is what Coach stated in their 1995 catalog, but the bio of Lillian Cahn describes the first Coach bag as a tote.) I have this same style in a NYC brown suede but no one has ever found a style number or catalog picture for it.

Whateve, do you happen to have a copy of that? The statement not your bag :)
