So I bought this Edie and am pretty sure it is authentic but a couple things have me worried. First of all it doesn’t have feet, which I think most do. The other thing is the creed is only printed. However it does have a YKK zipper, it has the tag on the inside with the serial number, the lining feels nice, and everything else seems to point to it being real. I just want to find out before my return period is over.

Welcome to TPF.

Please post a link to the listing and seller ID. (See the first post on page 1 of this thread for what we need to see.

So far, I don't see any problems but I'd like to see the listing.

Comments:
1. Regarding feet - You need to compare apples to apples. From what I see, style 33520 doesn't have feet. Other Edie bags (with different style numbers) have feet but you can't compare your bag to those.
2. YKK as the zipper brand means nothing. Fakes have either real or fake YKK zippers and genuine bags can have any of several different brands of zippers that Coach has used over the years.

Here is the listing on eBay, though I have already purchased it. Her user name is countrygirl77yellow. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/322936963267

The seller I bought it from also had it on Mercari and Poshmark, where her user ID is Hollyhj10. I have only owned older Coach bags, so the creed looked super weird to me. Thanks for the info on the feet and ykk zipper, I had a hard time finding this model to figure out if it was supposed to have feet.

Thank you for posting the listing and the seller.
ebay seller: countrygirl77yellow
Poshmark: hollyjh20
Mercari: Hollyjh10

Had you posted prior to purchase, I wouldn't have advised you buy because the pictures in the listing weren't adequate for authentication purposes.

The fact that the seller would use ebay and Poshmark to promote the listings then cheat them of their fees by redirecting them elsewhere is morally and ethically wrong and speaks to the lack of integrity of the seller. (I saw the listing where she redirected you away from PM. And believe me, I'm not a supporter of PM!)

With all that said, assuming the pictures you've posted are the actual bag you got, it looks good.

Hi I’ve never posted here so hopefully I’m doing this correctly. If not I apologize

Item: coach swagger carryall
Listing number: unsure it’s on Poshmark
Seller: seyancey
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-Swagger-Carryall-EUC-Black-5a4166bc6bf5a65391036096

Generally, I don't authenticate Poshmark listings for several reasons.
1. Although their policies (and the law) disallow the listing and sale of counterfeit goods, Poshmark tacitly allows them by ignoring reports of fakes. Having reported thousands of fakes and having been ignored for every one of them, I refuse to recommend or patronize such a site.
2. Poshmark's "experts" misauthenticate fakes as genuine and genuine items as fake when disputes have arisen.
3. Poshmark bans members from commenting on listings when such members simply state the fact that an item is counterfeit and disallowed. And when those members' posts are blocked, the pop-up message blames the seller for blocking the member rather than PM taking responsibility.

However, members who choose to use Poshmark to promote their items OWE Poshmark their fees when items sell.

Yet the seller, seyancey uses Poshmark to promote the listing then in her description redirects buyers to Mercari where the fees are lower by stating, "Cheaper on Merc.ari"

With highly faked styles such as the Swagger that seyancey is selling, I certainly wouldn't recommend Poshmark OR seyancey .

JMHO.

ETA: And at least one 2 of the pictures from seyancey's listing are stolen from other bloggers on the internet.

Thank you! I completely understand about the switching sites thing. I felt bad, but it also ended up saving me about $50. Next time I will check here first, I don’t know this site was available, you all are awesome!
