Hi. Can someone help authenticate this? View attachment 4872813View attachment 4872814View attachment 4872815I found this bag but I'm not sure what style this is. It looks like a city bag or compartment bag? It's Navy Blue, but I can't read the serial number. This is the link:

It's FAKE.

I can read most of the serial number with no problem since it's been on the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers list for at least 8 or 10 years - 0444-315 or -316 with a bunch of fake "overstamping" lines above and below every number. But I guess at least 35 other Posh members including a "Posh Ambassador" never bothered to look up the list, which is sad. And no one apparently bothered to actually look closely at the creed - look at the word that's SUPPOSED to be "scrAtches" and tell me what you see.

Or they could have just Googled the numbers:

Google Search

www.google.com

Both numbers are mentioned in many of the links above, as well as photos of many completely different styles, all with EXACTLY the same serial numbers, which is a HUGE red flag. And some poor soul will end up wasting their hard-earned money on that fake because not only does Poshmark not make any real effort to find and remove fakes, but when someone is unfortunate enough to buy one, it's very hard to even get your money back.

ALWAYS have any Coach items at Posh authenticated BEFORE you buy.

@Hyacinth I was just reading your excellent Italian coach guide above and I have a question. I am currently rehabbing a Gramercy Top Handle 7002 bag from 1999 (that you graciously authenticated for me) see below for one of the auction pictures. I am trying to figure out the color name for this...
forum.purseblog.com forum.purseblog.com

Under "Always Fake"
" 0444-317, 0444-316 AND 0444-315 and possibly others beginning with 0444 - some "classic" fakes are showing up with these numbers and have a number of mistakes in the creed stamps and on the bags themselves. Assume they're all fake. "

Good morning, authenticators! Would you be so kind as to review these for me?

1. Style: Rambler J1P-9525
Seller: Izzy (Mercari)
Link: https://merc.li/R2Pf7fGwb

2. Styles: Willis and Court
Seller: Goodwill
Link: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/105440255

3. Style:janice
Seller: thefinderthings (Poshmark
Link: https://posh.mk/MNZiWUlArab

4. Style: Hipster Flap
Seller: lyliabascom (Poshmark)
Link: https://posh.mk/yg5ZpayArab

1- genuine
2- both are genuine
3- genuine but NOT a Janice's Legacy, and the seller's measurements probably aren't right either. It's called a Legacy Leather Hobo and Coach gives the measurements as 10 inches long and 8 inches high.
4- genuine Small Hippie Flap

Wow, thank you. I am glad I asked. And thank you for the detailed response. I'm learning more about vintage Coach everyday.
