Regina? not sure of color name.

Etsy seller: checkenginevintage
Link: https://etsy.me/3mnod2f

searched TPF for seller, but no results, unsure if good or bad. Bag looks dirty and a little rough on some stitches.

Next time someone searches for CheckEngineVintage, they're going to find this post!

The bag is fake. (And even if it were authentic, the seller's "1980s" description of the age is wrong. I can't read whether it pretends to be 1996 or 1998 but it's actually none of the above!)

Thanks!! I figured seller had limited knowledge about Coach in general given their listing it as 80s, but if it looks suspicious, I’ll avoid.

It's not just the seller's guesstimate of the age that's wrong. The serial number/plant code contradicts the creed text.

It sounds as though CheckEngineVintage might know the bag is fake though she may be unaware that it's a violation of Etsy's policy (as well as the law).

Her description says, "I cannot guarantee that this is a Coach-made bag, but the quality and craftsmanship are on par with Coach's older leather bags."

Comments: I've been looking for a Kent bag in BT and this looks to be in great condition. It looks authentic but I'm not familiar with identifying the details for those made in 80's and early 90's. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving =)

Question for Poshmark users: What does it mean when sellers list something as "COPY - ....."?

I always assumed it meant that they were admitting an item to be counterfeit but clearly, that's not what it means.

Anyone know?

It looks like a genuine Scooter Bag from around 1991-1992. The style number was 9893.

I think it means a copy of another listing. The seller has another Not for sale listing of the same bag.
