Hi!

I’M a first timer with online shopping and the first thing I did was buy coach bags being sold on Facebook Live. I only have one coach bag in my entire life which was a gift from a friend and after years of daily use it’s finally given up. And I loved that bag! Unfortunately I don’t have the link to that live selling anymore. The seller sent me photos though. I still have time to cancel my purchase so If you can help me. The first photo is the creed for the mustard colored bag. The second creed photo is for the brownish bag. Thanks!

Item: Coach Shoulder bags

There’s no item number provided but seller sent me a photo of the creed to show the serial number.

Good luck! They're usually not known for removing reported fakes.

And esoteric details like fake or invalid plant codes are totally beyond their comprehension. They might even refer it to Entrupy and Entrupy will probably say it's genuine.

Goodwill doesn’t take any measures against fake Coach bags. Heck, I even unknowingly purchased a fake Coach Murphy from them. It was in the glass case and this was long before I knew what a knockoff bag was. I still have the POS, btw. Have no idea what to do with it.

I don't recommend flashdeals.

In the listing you've asked about, the creed looks purposely blurred, as if the seller does it on purpose. I don't believe that bag can be authenticated.

But what's interesting and more telling about flashdeals is that she answered a question about authenticity stating that she "only sells authentic."

That is not true. The following items are among her sales.

Another with a blurred serial number but questionable at best: https://poshmark.com/listing/ONE-HOUR-SALE-5f0e477f284e99852cd530c2

Someone paid $99 (plus shipping) for this POS: https://poshmark.com/listing/vintage-coach-backpack-5ee3e3296e2846482c64b7f7

And another sold fake: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-Backpack-5cf55dc2152812d73b535125

ETA: More fakes! The seller's comment of only selling authentic is not accurate!

Private instagram without an ability for us to see seller's items and sales is a red flag. And because of the number of fake Coaches we've been seeing coming out of Japan, I am not comfortable recommending that seller or a site without buyer protection.

It looks good. It is missing the keychain.

Thank you for spotting this whateve!!! You also spotted that my thrifted Metropolis Zip is missing it x

Genuine, it looks like an Envelope Swing Wallet, style 4873 and made in or around 1996. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge.

It's the same one as the listing asked about earlier on Poshmark. I've included those posts here.

Remember, that even when a removable part, like a strap, obviously wasn't made by Coach, we don't consider it to be fake unless it has logos. I do believe the bag is fake based on the fuzzy creed picture.
