Hi all, I stumbled upon this Poshmark listing and my love of green bags was triggered. Can someone tell me if it's authentic? Thanks so much in advance.

ETA: Jeez, I probably should have read through the comments here first before posting. :sad: I guess this confirms for me to only focus my selling on eBay when I get around to it.

Item: Coach Leather Tote Bag - green
Seller: mollyloco

And even though someone asked for a photo of the tag so they could see the name, the seller only showed the outside. SHEESH! Do they think the bloody tag is going to explode if they open it up to show the inside with the name and all the color and UPC codes? That's one of my major pet peeves, whether on PM or anyplace else.

The seller's description is stretching the truth too - "New with tags, several seasons past Coach factory outlet zipper tote with silver hardware. It has not been used but has some signs of wear from sitting unused for several years."
It was made in 2005 - that's a lot more than "several" years. And a bag that was poorly stored for as much as 15 years can have problems, especially since there's only one photo of the outside of the bag. Add to that the Poshmark origin and I think you're wise to keep looking.

It's genuine but since it's an outlet style, the name isn't in my files.

Thank you, @Hyacinth! In the seller's defense, they had the picture of the outside of the tag up and live well before the commenter requested one of the inside, so it wasn't an attempt on their part (at least from what I can tell) to be sketchy. I know this because I posted my questions before he asked about the tag. I've got some bags in my possession that have been poorly stored for 15+ years too so I know what I'm getting into, but I'll think more on it before making any decision (especially if she doesn't post any other photos after I requested info about the hangtag and so-called "wear"). Thanks for your time on this.

It's not an outlet style. It was a boutique item that was sent to the outlet (bullet) but I couldn't find the bag on the wayback.

I believe it's called something like a Hamptons book tote and is from the same line as these:

Please comment on this one.

The seller was FKA botticelli4grace but after years of listing fakes, ebay naru'ed her.

Now she's selling as collectibleonceloved.

A search of the Coach subforum of "botticelli4grace" and "collectibleonceloved" shows a lot of history.


Today's listing in question is from
Seller collectibleonceloved
Comments: The creed doesn't look right for 1997 D plant. Is this bag fake?

I have no idea but the reason stated was out of stock/item damaged. I was getting excited about finding an nyc rambler too. Oh well.

The reason doesn't necessarily mean anything. Ebay doesn't give sellers any other choice than buyer requested or something wrong with buyer's address. So no matter the real reason, if it isn't the buyer's fault, the only reason a seller can use is out of stock or damaged. The seller still has to pay FVF.

Ah I see, makes sense. The seller has 100% positive feedback with a lot of reviews so I figured it was a mistake or something similar, so giving them the benefit of the doubt for now. Thanks for taking the time to look and authenticate, it’s just too bad I won’t be getting it!

At least the seller was honest enough to take the blame and get the ding. (There are cases where the seller cancels but claims "buyer requested," thus getting out of having to pay the FVF.)

Dear Authenticators,
This eBay listing doesn't have clear / complete creed pictures, but please give me your opinion based on information available. Thank you very much. Seller: jalt529

My main concerns are that the seller doesn't accept returns, and that she's had that listing up for close to a year. She has made quite a few revisions in both the description and adding or deleting photos but seems to be clueless about what details and photos are needed. She's also done what a lot of foolish sellers do and allowed Ebay to select the description of the items from Ebay's "catalog" based on matching keywords which most of the time is a huge mistake because the description ends up being totally different than the item being sold. If you've read the description carefully you should understand what I mean. Just because Ebay makes a stunningly stupid feature like that available doesn't mean that sellers should use it.

The black one is probably a genuine Sonoma but I'm not going to try and guess the style, the tan one is possibly genuine but I can't see any details at all of the creed or serial number so its chances of being real are a bit lower.

Thank you very much for the detailed information, I will contact seller for creeds photos before finalize the shipping. If she doesn't want to go through the trouble to verify the authenciation, I may have to ask for a cancellation. It is my fault to take a chance like this. I will not do it again.
