Authentic made in 1998.
 
The reason we want to see the link to the listing is to vet the seller, integrity and history.

I've made my opinions of Poshmark and many of the sellers there known and fashionfruit is one of those sellers who I wouldn't recommned. There are few cases where I authenticate or recommend sellers because of the site's and sellers' histories of unresponsiveness to reports and fraud.

In this case, fashionfruit's listing doesn't show clear and legible pictures of what we need to see in order to authenticate her item and her lack of reply to your reasonable question in 3 days would have me hitting the back button!

Why do you want to give your hard-earned money to someone who isn't courteous enough to answer your question that you asked?

In addition, she also sells fakes:
As an update to my request from yesterday, I have included measurements and a better picture of the creed. I appreciate all your help. I truly hope you are having a great day.

I agree with BeenBurned, I would NOT recommend that seller. But if you want to give someone like that your money, that's your decision. Please remember that an authentication from us is NOT a recommendation.

As long as the bag has the same identical serial number and details, it's genuine.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your time and expertise.
 
I was hoping it was authentic for the sake of the little “back pocket”!

Aren't those cute! The fakes have them too but usually don't get the pocket details right. The pocket and the flowers (my favorite detail) are the tricky bits from that Patchwork family that the crooks almost never bothered with. And the genuine Khaki version of the same style with the same style number didn't have any pocket or flowers at all.

I still have my wallet from that line.
