Ha! Thank you! Is it the font in the creed? And now that I look at the shape of the inside pocket, is it meant to be so rounded?

The shape of the inside pocket is wrong. It has silver grommets on the strap even though the bag's hardware is brass, there is almost a frame around the creed number, and most important of all J is not a valid plant code for the US for bags.

Genuine Wave Gallery Tote made in 2004. The charms aren't an original part of the bag and may not even be made by Coach, they don't look familiar.

I bet they already have a record of people who reports fake frequently. LOL!

Oh, and Poshmark started getting surveys/poll from users of reported fakes asking for opinions. I did some but it definitely does not keep track of your preference or previous purchases because the brands they were asking were mixed. I didn't know how to tell Gucci, and other brands.

@Hyacinth, I think you misread the creed on #2 from jkd613. I'm seeing a G plant code and indentations on the turnlock.

That one isn't authentic.

I bet the grommets on the strap are silver.

My apologies, please DO NOT bid on bag #2.

That's what happens when I try to do too many things at once.


@Nataluccia3, I hope my alert collegues stopped you in time.

ETA - I see your response, thank you.

That’s what I was thinking as well. Too many requests at once. Thank you everyone!!

are the posts at the base of the bag meant to be silver or brass? The grommets on the strap are silver.

The hardware should be brass.

The hardware should be brass.

Thank you!
