Good evening authenticators!
Requesting your thoughts on this here bag. Thank you!

Item: Coach Prairie 9954
Seller and site where listed: myvintagevices on Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/EUCVintage-Coach-Prairie-Bag9954-5f44106e06d59c050f1ebd13
Comments: The stamp looked pretty good to me, but after receiving this I noticed a lot of really sloppy/shoddy stitching I've not seen with other vintage Coach bags, and I don't think the strap buckle is made of brass.

Here are some additional pics I just took:

I'm sorry to tell you that you're right to question it.

The bag is fake.

And surprise, surprise! The seller is a posh ambassador! (Why do so many Posh ambassadors have fakes?!?!)

Yeah, I was kind of expecting this assessment, but thanks so much for confirming! I guess I've "been burned" again, sigh!
 
Dear authenticators, would you mind having a look at this zip pouch:
Item: "Coach Factory Leather Clutch"
Listing number: 85644978
Seller and site: ThredUP, from the Vernon Hills, Ill. warehouse
Link:https://www.thredup.com/product/85644978
Comments: Hoping that this is an authentic chunky case. Since thredUP only provides two pictures (front and back), I am including some I took as well. Dimensions are: 7.5" by 4.5" by about 1.25". Thank you very much in advance!

It's fine, style 7165, chunky case.
 
Could someone authenticate this please?

Item: Hunter Green Tote
Listing number: 124523213055
Seller and Site: jeffs820, ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Co...124523213055?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10
Comments: I'm not familiar with this creed and am thrown off by the lack of a serial number. Fake or something different for a bag made in Italy?

It's a genuine Harvest Tote from the early 1990s Dakota line, the style number was 4207. There's some information on these styles in one of the six Salearea Coach Guides, the link is Pinned at the top of this forum's index pages. The best thing is to read all six Guides and the entire thread, it also includes the Daria48 Coach Fake Serial Numbers List.

Dear authenticators, one last query for today, if you can?
Item: "Coach Leather Clutch"
Listing no.:82685273
Seller and site: ThredUP, Phoenix, AZ warehouse
Link: https://www.thredup.com/product/82685273
Comments: This is a folding clutch with a cut-out handle. There is no creed patch. I've attached more pictures, as thredUP provided only front and back photos. There is a translucent plastic tag deep in a pocket that says Made in China (no numbers or letters), that I just could not photograph clearly. Thank you very much in advance!
