So this might be random but the younkers were I live has about 7 coach bags left and clearances them all. The large area that used to display coaches is now bursting with more Calvin Klein than it can hold. I tried asking a busy saleswoman and she just said they are getting rid of them..... I'm wondering if it's just a local thing

I'm in the southeast and our Macy has a tiny shelf with 3 coach styles and our Dillard has downsized their coach section again moving in a lot of Frye bags. Their MK section has shrunken as well. Too bad too because Dillard is where I got all my coach deals.

Do you mean that at one time Kohl's sold Reed Krakoff knockoffs? Did they label them as Krakoff?

After Reed Krakoff's company went bankrupt, he partnered with Kohls to make these naugahyde copies of some of his styles. They are labeled REED by Reed Krakoff, so a smart consumer is supposed to know the difference, but I doubt most people will figure that out. Most people probably don't know who Reed Krakoff is anyway.

Thx for clarifying. RK was before my Coach time, but I appreciate the background story.

Also, I see your point about EBay being sophisticated, lol!

I'm posting this just because it's an interesting and coincidental find. There's no significance to this post other than that I've never just happened across it!

While looking at a couple of vintage, I found 2 listings for the identical style bag with consecutive serial numbers.

Listing #1 with serial number 0289-222: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...-Strap-Satchel-Leather-Tote-Bag-/262855029527
Listing #2 with serial number 0289-221: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-70s-Coach-USA-Black-Cashin-Speedy-Satchel-Doctor-Bag-/182492401710

And just a heads-up for any potential buyers - the second bag is NOT a Cashin style or Cashin-era, it's from the early 1990s, not the 1970s.

I need y'alls opinion.. A few years ago I found a willis is pretty good condition, minus the missing shoulder strap. I gave it to my mom, but now I have this poppy tote that's in immaculate condition..well I've caught the fever for classic coach again and she told me she wouldn't mind to trade. I like them both!!,what would you ladies do? Keep the poppy or get the strapless willis back?here's what the tote looks likeView attachment 3615215TIA for you opinions![emoji4]

There is a major difference between those to bags, such as: space, weight, style but at the end if you really prefer the Willis for nor do the change and enjoy it... Both bags are just lovely.

Maybe this has been posted before but I can't recall ever having seen an authentic bag made in the Dominican Republic with an H plant code and correct font for the US H plant.

Is this one of the first bags made in DR and they didn't have a DR plant code to use?

For me, it's a new picture to add to my files.

I've seen A8H- prefixes mostly in US bags but it could be another floater that went wherever it was needed. I gave up trying to figure those out a long time ago. At that point Coach probably didn't care what got stamped with what because they were planning for the move to China. If the rest of the bag is ok, don't worry about it. I don't.
