Hello. I would appreciate your help authenticating this item.
Item:Coach Vintage Leather Handbag
Listing number:none
Seller and site where listed: camellesmith; poshmark
Link:https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-Vintage-Leather-Handbag-6057615612d8808165b0a17a
Comments: I searched the forum for the word 'irregular' and noticed there is no confirmed reason why it is stamped on an item but some guesses are it having some type of irregularity with fabrication?
Thank You.

I'm curious. I thought the "N" on this one meant is was sold at/purchased from Nordstrom. How do you know it was made for the retailer?

Actually I don't know that. I just know it was sold at Nordstrom. I may have misspoke when I said it was made for them.

That is lovely! It is authentic. I have no idea why it is stamped irregular. Mine is also stamped irregular but on mine, the pocket is crooked. Be aware that the color probably isn't as vibrant as it appears in those photos. My blue looks duller. It's a retro stroll tote, issued in 1991. It is similar to a Bonnie Cashin style that made in the 1960s.

I don't know where to say this but I had the black casino in the below listing authenticated on here and the seller sent a different/fake (I looked up the serial number - M4N 4154 iirc) ie not the bag shown in her photos! Looked kind of like a Penny with an ugly top handle. We submitted a refund request. I can't believe she thought we'd be fooled.

Welcome!

The bag in question is authentic but fabulousfloral does have a bit of history and in fact, this is a post from recently:

Apparently the listing was removed but I found your post requesting authentication.

This was your request for authentication of a listing from Mercari seller Charlene Andrews:

Hello, would you please authenticate the below?

Item: Casino
Listing number: m25149158691
Seller and site where listed: Charlene Andrews, Mercari
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m25149158691/?ref=search_results

(Does anyone know how to search for a seller on Mercari?)

I'm sorry you were the victim of a bait and switcher! It looks like she's also on Poshmark although there are a lot of members there with the same name.

Beware of sellers named Charlene Andrews.

Have you already received your refund? What was the seller's excuse when confronted and caught doing a bait and switch?

I believe it's actually a Pocket Bag, made around 1990-91. The style number was 9875. Please note that a previous owner added extra holes to the strap to shorten it so it's no longer in "original" condition.

Here's Coach's catalog page:

Hi all!

I bought a lot on Mercari. I'm hoping a few are authentic and pretty sure two are fake, but definitely need your expertise!

Two I think likely fake:


Murphy? pretty darn sure this little Murphy like guy is fake.

Small legacy? Creed is off on this to me, but I've never had a DR bag. Sure love the silver hardware if it's real!

Genuine Pocket Purse, but not from the 1980s like the seller claims. It's a re-issue and was made in 1998.

The third one (0974-534) is fake. Others are okay but IMO, Jose Manuel Marin owes you a 25% refund since 1/4 of the lot is fake.
