Welcome! You did great for the first time!

The seller needs to show a couple more pictures. There should be a made in tag sewn into a seam in the main compartment of the bag and a white label with production information also inside the bag, usually buried deep inside the zipper pocket.

 

[eskiMo4]

Thank you so much for responding to my post. If the seller provides pictures of the labels is it safe to assume it is authentic or should I post another link here just to make sure? Thanks again.

 

[BeenBurned]

Thank you so much for responding to my post. If the seller provides pictures of the labels is it safe to assume it is authentic or should I post another link here just to make sure? Thanks again.

No, you can't assume. We need to see those labels.

Keep in mind that the counterfeiters can and will copy anything if they think it's good enough to convince buyers that an item has the details it's supposed to have.

 

[eskiMo4]

Ok, great! Thanks for letting me know. I will repost the link and information if I hear back from the seller. Thanks again for your time and quick responses.

 

[eskiMo4]

If someone could please authenticate this coach bag for me I would really appreciate it! Thank you in advance for your time. Note: I submitted information on a handbag this morning that I wanted authenticated but have not heard back from seller as I was advised by BeenBurned to get more pictures of the item in question. In the meantime I am also interested in getting this bag authenticated if possible. Thanks.

This one is authentic. And the listing shows the pictures that the other listing was lacking.

Thank you! You are awesome!

I hope it's okay if I do a few in a row. I'm on a spree!

Item: Willis G5C-9927 (United States)
Seller: mrjaye1
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-purse-595001c2c6c795010a04d6b8
Comments: The whole creed has a shallow imprint, and the "Coach" stamp barely even shows up in the photo. Wondered if that might be cause for concern. Maybe I'm being neurotic, but I get the impression there are a lot of fake Willis bags out there. And if anyone happens to know the year, I always love to know that. Thanks!

Seller: qcheybaynay

Comment: The irregular lines above and below the numbers--normal? I have heard different things about the lines. Not sure what to think. (Photo quality was my best effort--sorry!)

Please post the seller names and links to the listings on Poshmark. (The information is in each listings.

Sorry! I went back and edited my posts.

Please post the seller names and links to the listings on Poshmark. (The information is in each listings.

 

[Hyacinth]

The Poshmark listing for the 9076 Companion (not Legacy) Flap is genuine, as long as you get the same bag that's in the photos.

Those lines are called "overstamping" here, and they're not a problem as long as they're exactly the size and shape they're supposed to be. Let us make that determination, since those lines HAVE been faked.

The Willis is genuine, from 1995.
