Re: Please... Is this a real serial number?
Hard to say without photos. Nowadays, it seems Coach is making most of its bags in China, but many replicas are made there, too. Serial numbers also appear on the fake bags, so the number alone won't help you. Certain styles are replicated in greater numbers, among them the Carly bags, some of the Hampton carryalls, the slim signature clip purse, the Bleeker and, yes, pathchwork bags. What I've noticed is that it's harder to make a good-quality replica of a patchwork bag because of the work that goes into it and the prints. Since it's probably one of the current styles, someone at a Coach store should be able to give you an opinion. Searching authentic and repllicas on the Internet, and comparing photos and other details, can help.
