Good afternoon wise ones....I have a fabric bag with leather trim, #C8X-6103 that I would like to know if its authentic and the style name. Its made in the USA, dimensions: 9-1/2 wide. 8-1/2 tall and 4 deep. I see it has an "X" stamped in the story patch and the made in USA with an "X" as a country code has me concerned. Pics included. Thank you.

Heres proof that Coach can and DID make mistakes. You probably shouldnt buy it for resale or you may get stuck with a SNAD claim because the creed doesnt match the purse details.
From this and other X plant codes Ive seen that didnt have the usual Dominican Republic creeds, the X plant code seems to have been used by a plant where the employees were clueless about which creeds went into which purses, Ive seen a few X plant fakes but most of them were in genuine items that were badly "mislabeled". Theres a note in my files from a while back that says "It's not the first time I've seen an X-plant bag with the wrong creed. I'm wondering if no one there cared which creed belonged in which bag. That X code might turn out to have been their "garbage" plant where they just stamped bags with whatever was available at the time." That looks like what happened here.
The style number is for a Satin (fabric) Lunch Tote and matches the photos of that style in my files, has a creed description that says the purse is made of leather, and an "X" stamped at the top of the creed by Coach indicating that the bag cant be sold at a full-price store and was discounted and probably not eligible for warranty claims either. But it still looks like a genuine style 6103, I have photos in my file of the same style in a lavender color with the same exact creed and serial number and the same "X"s stamped by Coach.
BTW, please, any time a purse youre asking about has one of those larger magnetic snaps like this one, please post a clear readable photo of the part of the snap with the name and whatever else is stamped on it, I need to see that and to be able to read the names and numbers in the stamping. Thanks!

Thanks so much. I knew it was a Goblin...hahaha. Probably just worth keeping as an error bag.
