I added to my post above.

I don't know where you're getting the name "Messico" as being the style you are asking about but based on the listings I looked at, none show that name on the tags.

What I found is a similar style that appears to be named "Messico" but it's not the same bag you're asking about. The Messico is a coated signature pattern. Note that I'm not necessarily assuming all the pictures below are of authentic bags but this is what Messico looks like.

I got the name from some blog but I can't find it anymore now..

Anyway, I'll post more details when I get the bag later on... Thank you so much... ^^

Comment: I'm pretty sure this bag is fake. Can I still report? What happens to the buyer? This was sold back in February.
I have several comments:
  • I don't think the pictures of the bag shown are adequate for authentication
  • I would never recommend reporting if I were only "pretty sure" it was fake. I only report if I am 100% positive that it's fake.
  • I do report known completed/sold fakes when I find them and hope that the buyers will ask questions once they receive notification of the listing's removal.
  • If the buyer questions it, she has 180 days to open a Paypal dispute if necessary
And specifics re the listing:
  • The tag font is wrong and the tag is likely fake
  • There's a misspelling (missing letter) on the paperwork

While I wouldn't have recommended that a buyer purchase it, I wouldn't have reported either.

Other opinions are welcome.

Another comment:
Were these bags out in 2017? This listing shows a (questionable?) receipt with a Sept. 22, 2017 date:

Both bags look good.

In the first listing, the seller doesn't show enough detailed pictures of the wallet but from what I see, it seems okay too.
Thanks! I'm wanting a forest green Coach.

@BeenBurned , do you happen to know the name of the first one with the wallet? Do you happen to know the years of both? I do like both but the Scout is missing it's hang tag which means I'll have to find one.

Item: Tan Coach City Bag (#9790, 2002)
Seller: Hospital Charity Thrift Shop ($14)
Dimensions: 9" high, 11" wide, 3.5" deep
Comments: Please give an opinion on authenticity, thank you. The bag is a tan color but it looks a bit lighter than British Tan - I guess I will have to see what color is turns out to be after rehabbing!

Thanks again!

The ebay listings all look good.

I don't authenticate nor recommend Poshmark.
