Dear Authenticators, Is this fake? The quality of leather just doesn't look right...
Item: "Vintage" Coach City Bag
Serial D2J 9790
Seller and site where listed: feelsfree on Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-Coach-City-Bag-in-Red-Leather-6050fb815462c302deab3da4
Comments: I noticed this seller has two Coach bags on Etsy that appear genuine, but has only this one bag listed on Poshmark which I've learned doesn't remove fakes.
Yes, it is fake.

The "J" plant code has been used ONLY by a Chinese plant since 1999. The year code in the fake is for 2002, and the creed says it was made in the US.
 
It's FAKE, don't buy and don't pay.

There are serious problems with the serial number and the hardware.
Thanks so much for saving me money and heartache. On to shopping for something else! I guess you will be hearing from me soon when I find something else I want to buy. What an invaluable service you provide from the goodness of your heart!

I was just warned a bag I considered on Poshmark is a fake. I don't want to publicly call out the seller, so I thought I would let Poshmark know. Are you suggesting this is a waste of time as they won't do anything about an attempt to pass off counterfeit items to the consumer? If so, Poshmark has a serious problem with their business practices.
 
I am curious about this coin purse which I bought from alsarana on the Canadian Poshmark site. I have tried, without success, to post a link to the listing. I hope the photos below will help to authenticate and provide some info about when it might have been made.

Hello authenticators. It's been a tough week, and I feel like buying a bag or two or three. Could you please check these out?
TIA.

It's genuine but I have no idea when it was made. That style of coin purse goes back a long way. Maybe 1980s-90s, maybe older.

Maybe someone else will recognise it.
