Coach patchwork bag
No listing number I could find
Seller: simpletruth

Hi ladies :) I'm hoping you can help me authenticate this Coach. It's an adorable bag, but the seller states that she purchased it from another Poshmark user, which is always a big concerning and the creed doesn't quite look right. Thanks!

It's not just the creed that's wrong. The stitching around the leather patch on the front AND around the inside creed is a MESS, the zipper pulls aren't right, the lining is the wrong fabric and color, and the creed stamping and serial number are fake.

If you can report fakes to Poshmark, please do.

Thank you! I felt like it was a bit off, but don't have much experience with the patchwork bags. I appreciate your reply and I will definitely be reporting it as counterfeit!

And I forgot - the inside creed patch is the wrong color. It should be off-white and the lining should be Taupe. And style 10893 should be a Pebbled all-leather Chelsea Pocket Flap, like all these bags listed on Ebay

Poshmark
Natalie's Closet@simpletruth

When I clicked the link, the listing showed as not being available. I don't know if the link was broken or if it was relisted again but this is still up:

https://poshmark.com/listing/100-Authentic-coach-handbag-54fbd33d713fde259f011ac6


I don't recommend Natalie's Closet aka simpletruth on Poshmark since she sells fakes, mixes in an authentic item or 2 and doesn't verify that her listings are legal.



She sold this fake Coach wallet:

https://poshmark.com/listing/Authentic-coach-check-book-holder-53842a5f3a3efc6fdd013856



She sold this fake LV bag for $150, described as "inspired."

She took the listing down. I think she genuinely didn't know it was fake, which means she doesn't bother to check :/

Pebbled Leather Sonoma Shoulder Bag
listing #221709316428

Whateve...if you're authenticating this bag...is the loose end strap like the one I asked you about earlier? If you remember. lol My navy pocket zip doesn't have a loose end strap and when I saw one like the listing above, I commented about it and you said it was good...just a different style.

Yes it is authentic. I don't know what's up with the straps. It seems that the majority of them are loose like this. I have this exact purse and it is loose on mine. At first, I thought it was dependent on the style; now I think they only did the enclosed kind (which I love) for a short while.

Thank you for your reply. I think I'm partial to the enclosed kind too. I just don't know if the strap floating/flapping around out there would be an annoyance. Hmmm, this would be a gift for my sister. She's pretty particular like me.

It depends how long the strap needs to be. I have two of these and I have the strap at maximum length and it doesn't bother me at all.

Genuine. It looks like a Collegiate Bag, style 9815 from some time around 1989.

"Edit: Are all bags with -9941 fake, like one of the ebay guides says?"

All bags with STYLE NUMBER -9941 are fake, which is exactly what the Fake Numbers Guide says. But in this bag, that's NOT the style number. Go back and read the Salearea Guides on Creeds and Serial numbers - only bags made from 1994 to the present have the style number as part of the serial number. If the full serial number is all numbers and no letters, then the style number isn't a part of it.
