I am afraid you will have a tougher time than I did. My fake bag's serial number started with the letter P which makes it an obvious fake with an invalid serial number. (IIRC the first letter stands for the month it was made) I had to email them repeatedly with photos of hardware, where it was made in, any logo etc. I had given them links to eBay's guide to fake serial numbers, links to authentication from TPF and had me send the bag to them for them to inspect and decide if it was fake. They still insisted the bag was authentic and decided to refund me as a one time courtesy.

I'm worried that Poshmark won't be able to tell it is fake. After all, there was an obvious fake they said was authentic. I hope you get your money back.

I'm worried too. (Perhaps @houseof999 will tell you of her experience with a fake she received from Poshmark.)
Your bag has what looks like a valid serial number to an inexperienced eye and I highly doubt PM authenticators know all the reasons that @whateve mentioned above that makes it a fake. I hate to be a pessimist but it's not looking good given my experience with them.

Hi all. Thank you so much for all your insights into the matter. It is unfortunate that you guys have had bad experiences from Poshmark. I've learned a lot from this and for that I thank you. Happy update to the situation - Poshmark has decided to refund me after I return the fake. When I opened a case I included what you all said about the bag along with pictures of my other Mini Willis creeds to show the differences. Thanks again everyone!!

I think it also helped in your case because rather than denying and blocking me, she asked questions. She kind of admitted she didn't realize it was fake.

Glad it went smoothly for you.

Both are authentic. The second one isn't vintage. It was made in 2005.

Thank you very much.. There are two many fakes that look real I just cant tell anymore.

 

[whateve]

Are both these moon and star keychains authentic? Was the second one a factory version?

1. The first one looks fine and is style 92031.
2. That's a really odd looking duck. It could be the angle or poor focus but it doesn't look right to me. (It's certainly not 92031 but I don't know whether they made a MFF version.)
3. The listing you posted is a leather hang tag on a chain.
I think this is what you meant to post from lostdaydreambeliever:

I've never seen it before. I'll poke around and see if I can find anything.

Thank you. I was sure #1 was authentic. I agree about #2. That is the one I meant for #3. I posted the correct listing, but the seller changed it!

We've seen that "Poppy" one before but I can't find the post (or maybe it was a PM that I deleted later?). That exact charm from exactly the same seller" lostdaydreambeliever " and a matching Safety Pin charm were added to my photo files under "FAKE Details" on Nov.22 2016.

The big problems - very poor quality and color "Swarovsky" crystals, and the Coach script name doesn't have that small loop at the top of the "o" like all other Script charms do except for some of the Pave and leather versions where it just would have been too hard to use it. And the shapes of ALL the letters in the Script charm are slightly "off".

Here are pics and thumbnails of the previous listing for the keychain and safety pin, plus a real Coach script charm with the loop.



ETA - and here's a listing by the same seller for a Script charm that has the right details and font:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Large-...209377?hash=item1ec2340aa1:g:upgAAOSwopRYiUv1

She had at least 6 or 8 in different colors so I'm not even sure if they're genuine, but at least the font is right.

Regarding the Moon And Stars keychain -

ETA - I did manage to find a teeny pic on the Wayback


EATA - Of the 2 keychains Whateve asked about, the spacing of the stars on the second one is wrong. I'd have to say that one is probably fake.
