Hi I’m new to this site. What is the standard response time for authentications? I think my post may have been gotten overlooked on the previous page. Thanks

We're usually pretty quick and answer within a couple of hours of a post being made. Sometimes a request is missed and if there's no response within 12-24 hours, it's okay to "bump" it.

However some of us are more have more expertise with certain eras or styles so you may have to wait for someone who knows the bag to reply.

Sometimes (as in the case of your request), there are sites and/or sellers that we don't recommend and I (personally) don't authenticate, promote or recommend Poshmark because of the site's lack of response to reports, poor treatment of buyers who've received fakes and filed complaints, sellers of authentic items who've been banned from posh because someone wrongly accused seller of selling a fake and banning of members who call out sellers with fakes.

You also need to keep in mind that those of us who volunteer our time and expertise do it on our own time and without compensation of any type from TPF. We all have lives, families, jobs and obligations in real life so replies might not be as quick as posters would like.

It looks good. (At first, I thought it was damaged but it looks like the first picture shows the glare from the flash.)

Thanks @BeenBurned!

Welcome to TPF.

Please don't repost or bump posts until you've given us 12-24 hours to respond. Also, please note that we need links to listings and names of sellers of items.

Is this the seller?
amazel_
Is this the listing?
https://sg.carousell.com/p/coach-embossed-croc-parker-shoulder-black-bag-31637-258002462/

I'm not comfortable with that site or the seller's listings. I've also seen the background in the seller's images in the past from various sellers of fakes on various sites based on the same continent.

I've seen way too many very close fakes on sites based in (but not limited to) Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and the Philippines. On websites that have little oversight and no response to reports of fakes, I recommend extreme caution or total avoidance.

ETA: Here's an example. Your seller claims to be in Singapore. Compare the background and pictures in this listing from amazel_:

to those in this one from Vietnam:

Good morning ,

ETA: I think it is a Coach equestrian, seller must search and copy a Regina bag for listing. As long as it is genuine Coach, I am ok with that. Thanks.

Obviously not a Regina as you noticed. It's not style #9306 either. The seller used the last 4 digits of the serial number, which on this pre-1994 bag don't indicate the style number.

It looks like a Chelsea Bag, #9894 from around 1989:

See my post (and pictures from the links) in my previous response here:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ost-for-format.889527/page-3204#post-33734408

As I'd said previously, I've seen those IDENTICAL backgrounds used by multiple sellers of fakes and your second request reinforces my warning.

I don't believe either seller (or ANY seller with that background) sells authentic items and if you're looking to buy genuine Coach, I'd avoid Carousell, Shopee, Buyma, Aliexpress, dhgate and other Asian websites. While there may be honest sellers on those sites, there are just too many fakes.

You've got pre-creed fever! It's authentic. Interesting, the flap is finished with smooth leather on the inside. That's really nice. That's a detail they omitted in later versions.

ETA: although it is Bonnie Cashin era, I don't know that this is a Bonnie Cashin style.
