One of my very favorite "modern" lines of Coach bags, Kristin. This one is style 19314, Kristin Woven Leather Hobo, made in 2012. Very soft lightweight leather and a great color called Denim. I own 6 or 7 Kristin bags and love every one of them. This one is definitely genuine.

Thanks so much Hyacinth! I was almost afraid to get my hopes up! I’m a sucker for blue anything, and blue leather is DIVINE! I’ve been casually watching these Kristins with the woven detail as they show up now and again, but they are usually quite a bit more expensive. Yay! Happy dance! I just hit order!! It will be mine!!

I agree, I don’t know what it is about the Kristin line... most of the modern styles just leave me unmoved. There’s something for everyone.

Thanks, it's still genuine.

What a relief!

Welcome to TPF. Is the bag listed online? Please see post #1 on the first page of this thread for the information we need.

I don't have this one in my files. I don't see any problems with it.

I can't read the style number at all, but the serial prefix and strange "No." matches other genuine business items from the F plant. Still looking for a name or number...

I got a better pic from the seller but still can't make out what the style number is!
9838? 9888?

I told her to go ahead and ship it so I will update when this arrives.

Sorry, I can't find any number that fits or any photos in any of my catalogs. Maybe seeing the number in real life would help, but it may just be a style we don't have any records for.

Hi its from local seller. The item name is Coach Brooklyn Carryall 28 in pebble leather.

There are a few things that concern me.

• I'm uncomfortable about the fact that the white label shows the style as boutique/full price item since it doesn't have "F" in front of the style number. Yet the made in tag shows a MFF (made for factory) mark.
• While Coach removed the serial number from the creed in 2014 and continued through part way through 2016, I'm concerned with inconsistencies. The bag in question was made in July, 2016 in plant 21. The following pictures show comps of this questionable bag vs. 2 others made in the same plant just 2 months later. (It's likely that Coach did change where it placed the production info in those 2 months but still, it's a problem for me, particularly with the outlet mark on a non-outlet item)
• 

And this seems to clinch it for me. The pictures show comps of the creed on the bag in question vs another of the same color and same creed. After this comp, I am sure that the bag you're asking about is fake.

Good morning authenticators, I would love an opinion on this bag.

Item: Janice Legacy 9950

Comments: It needs repair but I'm not seeing anything that looks fake? I can't tell enough by the creed photo - not sure if you have enough info to make a call. Also, I know Poshmark isn't an ideal seller with the reputation regarding fakes, but I have limited options through ebay as far as shipping outside of the U.S. so I am venturing into PM territory, with caution.

It's authentic but as a non-member there, I find Mercari frustrating.

In order to see full pictures, I have to save them. Otherwise, many details can't be seen because of the foolish orange "sold" banner that Mercari uses.

This was what I see when I look at the creed:


So I have to save it to see this:

Thanks BeenBurned!

On Mercari's frustrating "sold" banner, I discovered that you can right click and "view image" to see it without the banner.

ETA: I see the sold banner too, but mine says "you bought this item."
