I am pretty good at this stuff since I do have my own accessory auction website. BUT I AM IN QUANDRY!!!!! I have a client that is liquidationg her store. She has some great high end gently worn/used items. It is a consignment shop.She gave me this little bag that looks like a doctor's bag. It looks like a Coach and feels like a Coach. It is vintage ...the style and colorare no longer made. She knows this because she called Coach and told them she needed a shoulder strap but can't get one since it is discontinued. Who knows....Well my question is this ...did Coach ever make a bag or series without serial numbers?Maybr the first round of modern bags? Any help is appreciated and let me know if I can help...Michelle

Registration codes are not unique to each item and can be copied by counterfeiters. However, larger bags without them are usually fake. The numbers after the hyphen represent the style of the bag. Always make sure the style matches the bag; some fake bags will not match. However, if the bag and style numbers do match it still is not a sure sign of an authentic bag.
