I think it is fine.

Thank you! Am I correct in thinking it was made in the Dominican Republic in 2003?

Gee, I wonder what else I've got hidden in my rehab piles?!

Both bags are authentic. The red one is a Madison satchel large #9765, made in the mid 80s. The second is a saddle bag #9851 made around 1990.

I just got this Helen's Legacy 9953 Duffle on Poshmark but now that it's here, I'm worried that it's a really good fake. The buckles are wrong for a 1996 bag, correct?

You are absolutely correct. There's way more wrong than just the buckles. Unfortunately, it's not even a "good" fake.

With that said, I hope Poshmark doesn't give you a hard time getting a refund if the seller isn't cooperative. They have a dreadful history of not recognizing fakes and not protecting buyers.

The hardware is wrong, the creed has the incorrect font for the plant it claims to have been made, the strap has silver grommets with brass hardware on the rest of the bag.

Note that zipper brand has no bearing on authenticity!

Demand a refund!

It's fake. The creed has the wrong plant code for the country named on the creed stamp, the turnlock is wrong, and the word spacing on the creed is wrong. If you haven't already paid, DON'T.

So I found another bag I love and want to purchase:

Item: Willis
Listing number: N/A
Seller and site: Bonjour on Mercari
