Wow! Thank you so much!

I’m jealous!

I’m jealous!

I’m my parents caretaker and to get my dad his exercise, I take him to garage sales, thrift store, etc.. which he loves. The amount of obvious fake handbags I have seen.... makes you wonder why and who would buy these? And the prices of some of these bags..... so glad you gals are here to help us poor souls with the fakes!

Welcome to tPF!

Wait for someone more familiar with newer styles to answer. But before that, read the Salearea coach guide posted here about that "YKK Zipper" LIE, post number 22. A name on a zipper doesn't prove a darned thing. Better read the whole thread, I'm sure if you've read those lies about zippers, you've read other lies and nonsense too:

The bag is fine. It's an outline signature zip shoulder bag.

For future requests, please refer to post 1, page 1 for the info we need. You don't have to post it this time but when purchased online, we need seller ID and a link to the listing.

Hi guys! Wondering about this bag - I searched the forum but didn’t find previous results that were the same, so hope this is ok!

Item: Swagger (carryall?)
Seller: Poshmark (purchased already, and her pictures were stock/bad). Risky, I know.

Thanks for any help!

Hi ladies,
Went thrifting yesterday and now I'm wondering if I really did get a good deal. Here's the first:

Item: Drawstring bucket
9" x 4" x 8.5"

 

[MrsBookGuy]

Find number 2:

Item: Taft 9980
13 x 10 x 3.5

The zipper pull looks wrong and I'm hoping it's because of a repair or maybe Coach switched it up?

 

[MrsBookGuy]

Number 3--

Item: Coach 9144 Studio Flap
9.5 x 9 x 2.5

 

[MrsBookGuy]

The last one is a more modern bag and does not have a creed stamp. As always, thank you in advance.

Item: Colette Swingpack?
9 x 7 x 3

This is fake.

ETA: Compare the font on your bag to one from a month earlier from the D plant, supposedly where your bag was made:

FAke.

K is a Chinese plant yet creed states US made. K plant wasn't making bags in 1994.

Sorry, I don't recommend, support nor authenticate Poshmark listings but if someone else can authenticate it, they'll want the info as per the first post of the thread, including seller name/ID and a link to the listing.

Note that the swaggers are well-faked and Poshmark's "authentication team" isn't accurate when there are disputes concerning authenticity. They've deemed fakes as authentic and authentic items as fake.
