I sell on consignment. The owner of this item says this is authentic. I have it in my possession. It has a poppy tag inside. Can I get another opinion please? Thank you!

Oy I just looked at other bags from stewart02132014 :shocked:

I'm seeing five fakes out of six Coaches listed - what about the rest of you?

This is what I reported:

listing ending in:

0415 - fake color, COMPLETELY FAKE CREED AND SERIAL NUMBER STAMPS WITH WRONG FONTS, INVALID PLANT CODE AND STYLE NUMBER THAT DOESNT MATCH THE PURSE.

5317 - shape of the top buckle is wrong, fake leather hangtag is the wrong shape, inside panel of the base of the bag is wrong - there should be a smooth leather piece covering the entire inside bottom of the purse. The creed stamp is too small or the inside pocket is too big and the stamp is crooked. The serial font and plant codes are invalid.

9186 - NO CREED OR SERIAL STAMP, inside pocket zipper mounting WRONG FOR THAT STYLE # 9988.

5314 - fake serial font, date + plant codes and style number

7035 - wrong serial # font, wrong plant code - should be Costa Rica,strap mountings too close together. BASE OF THIS FAKE HAS A CENTER SEAM, GENUINE 9930 IS ONE SOLID PIECE, NO SEAM.



Please let me know if anyone spots a mistake in my report. Seller " stewart02142013 " pics are pretty crappy. DO NOT BUY "COACH" ITEMS FROM THIS SELLER!

Thank you for posting the correct seller ID. I was searching and searching for the item that had been posted (typo with "4" at the end) and couldn't find it! I thought I was losing my mind.

Note that the seller ID is stewart02142013.

Didja happen to look at the completed/sold listings?!?!

Does this look like it has a P plant code?

This POS was sold:

And its creed:

And these were probably among the fakes @Hyacinth commented on:
