Hi Authenticators, I'd be most grateful if you could check the authenticity of these bags I ALREADY bought but now suspect are likely fake. I didn't know any better then and just found out about this super helpful forum. One is from Poshmark, black Coach Taft bag, 9980; the other from Etsy (I can't attach the original link so took a few pics instead of the Red Coach Stewardess bag, 9525. If they are indeed fake, I wonder if I could still return them. Purchases were in June 2020. With much appreciation.

Taft bag, 9980

Remember to include sellers' IDs.

The Poshmark seller is bonniecsells and the bag is fake.

Please post the link to the Etsy listing. That was is a fake stewardess.

You should be able to return both since counterfeit items are illegal. Most sites allow disputes at least for a month. PP allows 180 days and as a last resort, you can dispute with your credit card company if you used a card to pay.

OUCH! Yeah, I already suspected that they're both fake. It's too bad that I thoroughly cleaned, polished the brass, nourished the leather and reshaped them both so they're in much better condition now than when I bought them. I can't seem to get the Etsy link for a completed sale. The Etsy seller's name is BlackcurrantPreserve. I must add that for fakes, they are both extremely well made, that it's almost surprising. Even the thick leather used and workmanship are rather good. Thanks very much, BeenBurned for your swift reply and help. I've been burned! :(

Can you email BlackcurrantPreserve and inform her, possibly referring her here? Maybe she'll do the right thing if it was an honest mistake. (I went through her feedback but it looks like if feedback wasn't left, there's no other way to see sold items on Etsy.)

I'd make every attempt to get refunds for both items.

ETA: Aha!! Google was my friend!

May I please request an authentication of this Cooper Zip I purchased off of eBay a few days ago? I received it today and have attached a creed pic.
Item: Coach hexagonal shape leather purse - original owner barely used
Seller: nmikyska
Item number: 274404425033
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274404425033
Comments: it feels stiff, thin, and light weight and the suede feels flat like felt but it looks like it's never been carried so maybe I'm just not used to "showroom new" leather. I don't know. It's a cute bag though! It measures 10 x 3 x 8 inches.

Thank You!

Thank you very much, BeenBurned. I have written to the seller in the most polite manner. Hope she does not get offended and defensive! I also wrote to Poshmark about the other replica bag.
