Please can you authenticate this small coin key bag that I got from Goodwill? This bag has a heart accent. I have never seen any Coach item that has a heart accent. Usually it has the Coach logo. Thank you for your help.
Measures 5” x 3.25”
That particular Heart emblem was only used on certain small items from the Poppy line, I think this might be from the "Shimmer" family, like the wristlet shown here:

and a different Poppy line:

I believe it's genuine but more opinions are welcome.
It's fine.
 
Hi. I posted about this bag back on Sunday. It arrived today, and if someone can look at it for me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

The bag you received looks okay.

For future purchases, you might consider avoiding sellers who "borrow" (or steal) pictures from other sources. Of the 12 pictures shown, 4 are not the seller's own and for highly faked styles (Swaggers among them), it's extremely important to see the actual item.

Most of trendi*threads*4u's listings use at least some pictures that aren't the item buyers will receive.
 
Be sure to include seller ID in requests.

You should also search the forum for "Poshmark fakes" posts. Generally, I don't authenticate listings from PM because of their dreadful lack of action on reports of fakes, inaccurate resolutions in disputes (where experts deem fakes as authentic or vice versa) and banning of honest members but letting dishonest ones remain as sellers.

Link 1 is seller
masonsapparel and the bag is fake. DO NOT BUY FROM masonsapparel.

Link 2 is seller
hotae0 and the bag is authentic though I would prefer you choose another site from which to purchase.

Ah yikes good to know! Thank you.
 
Sorry, it's fake. Not only shouldn't the hardware be turning silover, but the "T" code at the beginning of the serial number is in the position the month code belongs to, and "T" was NEVER used as a month code by Coach. The year code is also invalid for any bag made in China as the creed states this one was.

You didn't say where or when it was purchased which is part of the posting requirements for this authentication thread and withouit that required information we can't make any suggestions on how to get your money back. Please be sure to include all of the required information listed in Post Number One of this thread in all future authentication requests.

Oh yes I purchased at a small local thrift... When I got home I found the T code to be odd. Still learning ‍♀️. Luckily I only paid a few dollars for it...lesson learned! Thank you again!
