NONE of Coach's products are made in the US. In fact I don't think they've had any working plants at all in the Western Hemisphere since about 2004, Costa Rica was probably the last. There may have been half a dozen styles since then made briefly in Turkey or Italy but anyone who wants a recent bag made in the US isn't going to find one. Anything more recent than 2002-2003 that claims to have been made in the US is almost 100 percent sure to be counterfeit. There are also fakes from the last 15 or 20 years with creeds claiming to be products of Turkey and Italy as well as the US. Of course, fakes often have fake serial number stamps and date codes so there's no way to tell when any of them were actually made.


Just a caveat:
Fall 2021 had a limited edition collection of cashin 22 totes that were made in New York (from imported materials), maybe about 100 each for 3 or 4 different colors. (and some t-shirts and sweatshirts.)

Not sure if Coach may do some limited collections made in NY in the future as well.... Since it sold out at full-price.....
(I returned mine since the interior walls were sewn poorly and had loose overhang, but I'm sure someone else snapped it up.)

Thanks. I thought there might be a few limited items or special event bags but I don't follow recent styles and don't have photos of them in my files. That's why I included the word "almost" in my response "... almost 100 percent sure to be counterfeit."
 
Okay I have to say this is pretty tempting... Does anybody have this piece? What's it like?
Get it authenticated before purchasing. I don't recall Coach ever wrapping charms in plastic like that.


I've never seen them wrapped like that either.

Coach did a multicolor pave keyfob in metal, NOT plastic, back around 2008 but it's nothing like this one. The chains on this one really look - well, "cheap" is the only word that fits. It's also a very bad way to construct anything with pave stones because those long chains are going to allow the charms to move around too much and bang into anything it's attached to, and the stones are going to come loose since they're just glued in. Even the genuine Coach keychains with pave crystals had a tendency to lose the stones over time. That one just doesn't look like genuine Coach.

THIS is how Coach would have made a piece like that - style 92335:

Trying to decide between khaki chalk rowan and khaki saddle! I do like the dark one too. How do you clean them? Just wipe as they are a coated canvas?

any problems with the discolouration of the chalk accents on bags?

I can’t wait to see pictures! I hope you love it too. Green is my favorite color, so this one is really tempting me. Looks like a great neutral green.
Please post pics! I'm debating ordered the green. I'm hoping think the pics on 24S do it justice!

Just a quick pic, but it’s here! Very neutral grey-green, I love it :heart:
