No item can be authenticated with just a serial number. We need to see pictures of the actual bag.
Please post some, starting with the front, back and interior creed patch.

GO TO A COACH STORE
That's the last place I'd recommend as a source of accurate information. Coach employees are trained to sell current items that are in their stores now. They aren't trained to authenticate and in fact, their company policy prohibits them from do so.
And those that violate their company policy by attempting to authenticate items get it wrong about 50% of the time!
Again, I recommend @reginkirklan-0 post pictures here.

It worked for me
I'm glad it worked for you.
In fact, I see that you sell some Coach items that are MFF. If someone were to take one of your items to a Coach store (not outlet), they would likely look up the style number, not find it in their computer system and deem it fake. Outlet items aren't in FP stores' computer database and most boutique store employees don't have a clue about outlet items.
I can't even count the number of times we've responded to posts in which an OP's listing was removed as fake after she'd called Coach to "verify" authenticity by reading the serial number. In some cases, a serial number can seem legitimate but it's incorrect for the fake item it's on.
Example, there are dozens of fakes with M04K-5659 and others with A2J-6094 serial numbers. Those numbers can appear of an authentic bag but they're on dozens (if not hundreds) of fakes. Yet a Coach employee looking up that number would tell a caller or customer that it's genuine.
Without seeing pictures of the actual item, there's NO WAY to accurately authenticate it.
The only way to base an authentication on a serial number is if the serial number is a known invalid one. Then we know the bag it's on is fake. But a serial number by itself never proves an item is authentic.
