Hi Folks,

Just hoping to get an authentication on a bag I was looking at.

Item: Coach Back Leather Shoulder Strap Purse

Listing: 75436277

Seller: Goodwill of the Olympics and Ranier

Link: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/75436277

Comments:. The listing picture of the creed is not legible, so I'm going to try to copy the one they sent me and add it here.

Thank you very much, Hyacinth, both for the authentication and the catalogue photo. As always, I appreciate how you share your knowledge and time so selflessly.

Received this from a seller on Poshmark and it’s not the actual bag in the listing, which I inquired about here prior to purchase. So, need this one authenticated. Sorry, but I had a hard time getting a good pic of the creed, therefore providing it below.

Coach Willis
Creed: J9P-9927 (I think.....)

Please post the seller's ID from Poshmark so other members will know who NOT to buy from. Authentic or not, sellers shouldn't be showing a different bag than what the buyer will receive!

You asked about 3 different listings from different sellers here:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ost-for-format.889527/page-2700#post-33320472

And 3 more here:

Remember, the first post of the thread says that seller IDs are required. This is one of the reasons!

Coach Willis
Creed: J9P-9927 (I think.....)

Genuine, and yes, it's a J9P- prefix and made in Costa Rica.

ETA - Interesting, when you enlarge the creed pic you can see that the creed stamp is actually damaged and the top of the first C in the Coach logo might have actually broken into pieces right before or right when this bag was stamped.


and I have a different J9P- bag in my files that must have been stamped shortly before this one because you can actually see the first C starting to crack in exactly the same spots.


As we've said before, that poor Costa Rica plant always seems to have been last on the list to get new equipment and usually got stuck with everyone else's cast-offs. An interesting few minutes in the history of a Coach plant.

And BTW, I agree with BeenBurned that sellers who don't post photos of the actual bag you're buying are best avoided, especially if they're selling on Poshmark.

Poshmark seller lesliebusenitz

I'd avoid lesliebusenitz on Poshmark.

In this case, you got lucky because you received an authentic bag. It looks like she sold 4 "Willis" bags, all using the same set of pictures. (And on my screen, the creed appears to be from a brown bag. I wonder if any of the pictures are the seller's own!) She must think, a Willis is a Willis and all are identical.

After I realized that what I had received was not the posted item I went to check her feedback and realized she was using the same bag in all her posts. Indeed I did get lucky and will avoid that seller in the future. Thanks for the assistance.
