The actual color was called Ink and is closer to the color of the second creed photo, not as purple as the color in the first photo. It's a deep blue-ish purple. I just mention that in case you haven't seen that actual color in real life. I've owned one and it's a very nice deep color, just not as light as what's shown in the first photo.

That's good to know. I've never seen this color in real life but was looking for a deep purple color like eggplant.

It's authentic. How will you rehab it?

Thank you! Do you happen to know the color?

For rehab? I’m not there yet actually. I’ve just been buying vintage bags and letting them sit, lol. Do you think it’s in bad shape?

I think it is in horrible condition. It looks like camel but camel was done with nickel hardware so it must be yellow. I think it likely has mold damage as well as lots of staining. Unless you want something very rustic looking, I think you would have to dye it.

Ahhh mold! Well that sucks.

It looks fine. While they're faked, this item doesn't have any of the mistakes that the counterfeiters make.

ETA: I've made it known that I'm not a Poshmark fan and I don't like that Poshmark doesn't respond to reports of fakes and so many sellers mix authentic and fake items. In fact, this seller is one of them. (While it may be a mistake, sellers are supposed to verify that their items are authentic before listing.)

Thank you so much. I wonder is it vintage? It shows made in China at the bottom. I think the vintage one shouldn't have this stamp

I believe it's style number 7105 and came out around 1996-97 so would be vintage (>20 years old).

Got it. Thank you for your reply. Originally, I thought China don't have a coach plan until 2000 (Said in Salesarea Guide), so I thought this coin purse is made after 2000.
