how to you report something like that?
I have no idea and I don't know IG's stance on counterfeit items.

I suppose contacting the seller is as good as the integrity of the seller. As on Etsy, Poshmark and some other sites, reporting doesn't do squat but (very) occasionally, a honorable seller will end a listing if informed of a fake. But from what I've seen, many sellers who are restricted from selling on ebay and other proactive sites will go to less diligent sites to unload their fakes.

Hello Authenticators,
I am an avid thrifter and have acquired about 7 ‘Coach’ purses over the past few years. Because they have all been for my personal collection and my love for the boxy look and neutral colors outweighed brand I never bothered to authenticate any of them, I wish I knew about this group back then! I am now looking to re-home them but I want to make sure I am not accidentally releasing any counterfeits into the wild; the creed is slightly different on all of them so I have my doubts on some. Any help in confirming authenticity and year is greatly appreciated.

PS I am splitting my request into 2 threads in an effort to not inundate the feed. Thank you in advance! :smile:
