May I please request an authentication of this daypack I just impulsively bought because I'm bored at home and totally and completely envious of some recently posted collections of daypacks that I never knew I couldn't live without until I saw them? Thank you!!

Seller: mybagclub

Would you be able to let me know where you saw those collections please? Thank you Morgan_Bellini!
 
I reported (as soon as I saw the POS but in true Poshmark fashion, they close their eyes to reports so the report won't be removed by PM.

And AFAIK, the only way to communicate with sellers is through a message on the listing. It doesn't look like the seller was made aware of the bag being fake.

Or if someone DID notify Posh seller " stylingfactory ", the post was removed. Let's see if I have better luck. Not likely, but worth a try. 2:37 PM and counting ...

There are several things that shouldn't be on that bag and at least two things that are completely wrong, but Coach never even made a style that matches it. Even the stitching and fine detailing are poor quality compared to a genuine Coach.

Got my first vintage Coach bag last month and now caught the bug. Please help with authentication of these 3 items. Thank you!

1) Item: vintage rambler
Listing number: 174230321647
Seller: reinna2001
Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/174230321647
Comments: Creed isn’t really that clear, but looks like maybe it was made in Costa Rica? Also, any idea what year this was from?

2) Item: vintage rambler
Listing number: 183950824268
Seller: treasurehunter*2
Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/183950824268

3) Item: vintage rambler

Aqua daypack
Seller: brandearauction
That backpack is authentic but brandearauction is one of ebay's special snowflakes about whom I complain. They don't verify authenticity, list fakes and get heads ups from ebay to end their listings rather than having them rmeoved.

This fake was posted here just days ago, never removed but ended by the seller.

This is another fake reported in 2018:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...oach-fakes-here.824098/page-341#post-32199582

And with 2300+ Coach listings, it's impossible to go through all to find the fakes.

All are authentic. These were called Rambler's Legacy, not Rambler, which was a different style.
1. 1998, Costa Rica, this one is vintage
2. 2014, China, the leather is likely not the same quality as vintage
3. 2000, probably British tan, will be vintage in a few months

Thanks so much @whateve! Can you please enlighten me on the difference between the rambler’s legacy and the rambler? I didn’t realize there were 2 different styles.

Many people erroneously call the Rambler's Legacy #9061 a Rambler, and Coach has made a few modern versions that were just called Rambler, including the current Rambler crossbody. The original Rambler, made in the 80s and 90s, was a larger bag that looked like this.
