Court bags were made in Italy. Without a creed picture, it can't be authenticated but I don't see anything wrong. When you get it, post the link again along with the creed picture.

Just a quick comment - I don't think the last photo in the listing belongs to the same bag as the others. The scuff marks seem different and the ends of the top handle are different, the top handle in the last photo has two distinct layers that aren't matched right at the ends, if that makes sense. The backgrounds look different too.

The "Rambler" is actually a Rambler's Legacy - 2 different styles.

The City Bag was made in 2005 and wont' be truly vintage for another 6 years.

Other than those corrections, the bags are genuine.

Also thanks for the corrections, I appreciate you always go the extra mile to explain the difference of details, there is so much to learn, and we are very lucky to have a group of very dedicated authenticators here.

I'm on the hunt for a metallic leather bag and stumbled upon these two on Poshmark. Would really appreciate some insight from the authenticators on here. :)

Item: Coach metallic bag with nude trims (sorry, I can't name the bag)
Serial number from creed pic in listing: C1382-25056
Seller: tkmugle
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-purse-5d881a20ffc2d4e9cafa0b14
Comments: If it is real, I would appreciate any additional info you may have on it, particularly the bag's name.

Item: Silver metallic Noa bag
Seller: tbriggs7
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-crossbody-bag-5dd97dd02414832982d1842c
Comments: This is missing a serial number (I've requested from seller and will update if received), but I own a Noa from the boutique and it looks identical. Any way it can be authenticated without the serial number?

Thanks in advance!

I've only been able to find one example of the first one, and it's from a Chinese website (which always makes me a little wary) from 6 years ago. It's listed as a Factory Outlet item and is a style F25056 Poppy Mirror Metallic Flight Bag, It appears to be geniune but it's a style I'm not familiar with and can't be 100 percent sure about whether it's authentic but I'm not seeing any obvious problems. Measurements are given as about 9x5x3 inches.

The second one doesn't include any readable photos of the creed patch and serial number and can't be authenticated, and the current photos are too small to show any detail at all. I see that someone asked for photos. If you get them, please post them here.

Thanks so much! I've been duped twice on Ebay so I'm being super careful now. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. :flowers:

I'm sorry you had trouble with ebay purchases but on ebay, when there's a real problem, you're considerably more likely to get a resolution on ebay than on Poshmark. I don't authenticate nor recommend Poshmark and have made my feelings toward the site known.

While problems can happen on any site, if you went to Poshmark to avoid the type of issues you may have had on ebay, you've chosen the wrong site, IMO!

Oh that just sucks! I had no idea. I cannot believe the world is full of scammers. These people can make money reselling items honestly, why stoop to cheating their way through life? It's so immoral. :-s

Thank you so, so much for that perspective. Is there a particular thread where your issues with Poshmark were discussed? I'd like to be better informed moving forward. I just cannot bear getting cheated again.
Sorry to go off-topic.

I can't even imagine how you'd wear it that way. Not only would the strap be bulky, but that's a large bag and carrying it so high up would make it uncomfortable if the contents were the least bit bulky. The turnlock would probably jab your arm once in a while too. Probably better than chopping the strap down, I just hope the strap wasn't damaged in the process.

Just saw this now. I actually got the bag already, the strap is normal, the seller just folded them together taking pictures. Don't understand why.

I bought a fake on eBay and the dispute was so nicely handled that I try to do most of my shopping there. EBay paid the return shipping and refunded what I originally paid for shipping plus the full price for the fake bag. No hassle at all! It was actually a great experience.
