Neither listing has enough of the pictures we need to authenticate the bags.

Please refer to the post at the top of each page for the required pictures.

Hi , thank you, i will ask more pictures, I am slightly confused tho, in the 1st link hse does have several pictures, creed, sides, top , bottom, locks , creed, you could please advice me what more to request? Thank yoi

The 1941 collection bags have weird creeds - not real serial numbers nor date/plant/style info. What I need from those bags is more fully outlines in post #1 on the first page of the thread:

"Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number."

To compound the confusion of navigating such a huge site when you're a newbie, trying to figure out what pictures and information are needed depending on when the items were made and which collection they're from can leave a newbie feeling overwhelmed!

Yes, there is a lot more to it , and lots to learn . I did get the extra pictures
I just want to make sure they are real before making an offer since these are not cheap, thank you

Generally, I don't authenticate listings that are posted on Poshmark and I usually recommend against doing business on that site.

Of the 3 regular Coach authenticators, I'm the most familiar with some of the newer styles and because I responded to your request, I will help you with the two listings, however I stand by my recommendation to at least try to avoid Poshmark when items are available elsewhere. (My usual response to authentication requests for listings on PM is to either ignore requests or explain why I recommend against the site.)

In my opinion, the 2 listings you've asked about are for authentic bags and the sellers seemed responsive to your requests.

In case you're wondering why I'm so adamant against patronizing that site, you can read my latest rant here. (This isn't the first time something like this has happened):

Poshmark has a long history of:
1. Ignoring reports of counterfeit items
2. Allowing blatant fakes to be sold and in many cases, if returned, Poshmark lets the sellers relist and resell those counterfeit items
3. Banning members who tell sellers why their items are fake
4. Using a "team of authenticators" who don't know the brands and deny that counterfeit items are fake

Thank you so much for your help, especially since you don't support poshmark. Unfortunately I live in Canada and our options are really limited, we don't have access to goodwill, or even nordstrom rack, most sellers on eBay won't ship to Canada and if they do they shipping is close to $60 and custom fees charged by eBay are anywhere from $100-$200 . Poshmark Canada doesn't hace access to usa poshmark so our access to items is also super reduced, is kind of hard to find goods in the 2nd hand market and right now, trips to salvation army and value village are out of the map for me (3 kids and work at long term care) , if anyone has suggestions of were to find some pieces besides poshmark I would be so grateful . Thank you again for your help, it is much appreciated

it has “bean” in the creed, but I also read that some of these creeds are authentic as the “bean” part was a mistake in production. Thank you!

Hello, I purchased this mini day pack key chain on ebay recently and I'm worried it's fake, mostly due to the chains on the key ring and the Coach tag. Hoping you guys can help, thank you!!

PLEASE read the instructions for requesting an authentication at the top of each page. Since it's an Ebay purchase we need the seller's name and most importantly, the URL or number of the listing so we can report it and make it easier for you to get your money back.

You're correct, it's fake. The seller owes you a full refund including return shipping charges if she insists that you return it.

Here's an example of a real one, click on the thumbnails to enlarge:





The hangtag doesn't match and is too big, and the turnlock is also fake and not the kind or size used on the genuine pouches.
