Good Evening, this bubblegum bag is cute (liked, saved, bundled) on Poshmark while it's also available on Etsy (and in my cart) however I find serious issue with the creed and the "solid brass" stamp on the hardware. I have not seen that on any bags younger than I am (aka old). Is this a Limited Edition or specialty item made to replicate the original 60-70's NYC bags? I have attached both listings, it is the same bag and same seller just under two different selling names.

You are right to be suspicious. It's fake.

LOL! Interesting discussion on celinecherie's Poshmark listing!

I saw that.
Wouldn't you think the expert would enlighten the seller? Or maybe he doesn't really know and can't give accurate information.


ETA: And she removed it from Poshmark because she doesn't want people to know that authenticity was questioned.

But Celina from VintageSimplicite (on Etsy) still has it up and running. :sad:

Someone is going to get scammed for $250.

ETA again: It's back:

Item: small black Coach bag
Listing number: m14450539034
Seller and site where listed: Carolyn Blake Altoma, Mercari
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m14450539034/

Comments: I'm not sure which bag this is. The closest I can find is Coach Chelsea small flap handbag 46044. There's no creed and no item number tag. Roughly 9x6x2.

I appreciate any info offered.

It looks fine and although I can't find much information, the style info you suggest seems right.

It looks good.
I purchased this - hooray. My husband purchased the Willis for me (I believe in '94) when I received my first really important promotion. Over the years, I somehow misplaced it. Once I received it and clean it up he will be so surprised. Thank you again. I really appreciate all the help I have received over this past year from everyone on this site.
