It's probably okay but I'd like to see the creed. You might also ask if the wallet shown in the last picture is included. It's not described but shown inside the bag.

For future requests, please refer to the first post of the thread for the posting format, info and pictures we need to see.

If I google that style number, none of the bags are like this one. Isn't the sewing pattern way off too?

What a seller puts in the listing, either for a style name, style number, age of bag, etc. doesn't mean the seller is accurate. Sellers can copy a serial number wrong, they can google style numbers and come up with a style that some other seller made up the name, or the seller doesn't understand how to read and decipher the information on creeds.

Every listing for a Coach bag needs to show a legible picture of the full creed - with text and serial number. Had the creed been shown, I would know whether the bag is authentic and if she erred on the style number information.

For the amount of Coach that Nunis Boutique @Nunisboutique sells, she should know what to show to prove her items. Her items (that I looked at) lack several important and necessary pictures.

Actually, now that I'm looking at the seller's items, I recommend you find a different seller. Nunis Boutique @nunisboutique appears to steal pictures from other sellers' listings. When sellers use someone elses pictures, not only are they infringing on someones rights, buyers have no way of knowing what to expert. The picture is not the actual item. (Her poshmark listings also use stolen and watermarked pictures from other sellers.)


This listing uses pictures stolen from ebay seller rachelwrxgirl:

This listing uses pictures stolen from ebay seller pambsco:
https://www.tradesy.com/bags/coach-shoulder-bag-multi-colors-pop-c-13404757/?tref=closet

These listings use pictures stolen from ebay seller rondivou:

https://www.tradesy.com/bags/coach-hobo-bag-multi-colors-14791144/?tref=closet
(There are several pictures stolen from Rondivou.)

And Nunis @katiyuni on Poshmark also uses stolen pictures. Just one example is this one.

Ugh! Buyer beware. What you see is NOT what you'll get.

I see that she added a picture but after all the stolen pictures I've found on nunisboutique on Tradesy, Poshmark and her own website, I question the source of the creed and wouldn't buy from that seller.

There are plenty of honest sellers who use their own pictures of their own items. I recommend you buy from one of those other honest sellers.

So sad to see a seller like this. I see all of what you mean. I would never purchase from this seller, I was just cruising for a Coach tote for a friend and found this one. Thank you for all your research.

Call me a cynic but I suspect the seller is reading here. Shortly after my post, she added a creed photo to the listing. I can't imagine that the timing is a coincidence.

And if she is reading here, I hope she takes this constructive criticism:
Nunis Boutique, if you want to be a reputable seller of highly faked brands such as Coach and Louis Vuitton, you need to do your own work. Not only will you have no proof should a buyer file a claim against you because you don't have your own pictures, but should any or all those sellers whose pictures you stole file DMCA infringement takedown notices, you risk being banned from Poshmark, Tradesy and having your website deactivated!

Good sellers do the work necessary to prove themselves and their items.

I asked her for a photo of the Creed, to which she also corrected the Style number of the bag, so No, I don't believe she is reading here. I told her to post the Creed when she had it listed incorrectly because she would not believe me. Now she does, but you are so right. Obviously she sees nothing wrong with stealing other's copyrighted property. Again, thank you for your insight.

She probably IS reading this - she's removed the entire listing. Now the original link dead-ends at Tradesey's main Coach page.
https://www.tradesy.com/bags/coach/

If she's a tPF member, she's a poor example of it. And if she's just a "browser" she should stick around and learn how to sell without stealing photos and violating federal and international copyright laws. Sellers who think the laws don't apply to them are NOT the kind we're going to recommend buying from whether their items are apparently authentic or not.

So step right back on that soapbox, BB.
