Seller: Flashdeals
Listing: coach vintage casino purse

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!

Hello, would you please authenticate the below listing? I think it's fake based on creed and proportions but confirming before posting to fakes thread.

Item: black casino
Seller: onestopshop
Site: Mercari
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m36753124972/?ref=search_results

Many thanks xx

ETA: I just realised it looks the same as the one I got bait and switched with a few months ago! Same 4154 creed, thicker strap and so on.
The bag from onestopshop on Mercari is the same one as @Ireiki4u asked about from Poshmark seller flashdeals.

In my reply, I pointed out other fakes from the same seller so fake or not, I wouldn't buy from onestopshop on Mercari or flashdeals on Poshmark.

GMTA - Whateve beat me.

ETA #2: I believe the serial number is the infamous M4N-4154, known as being invalid.
 
Hi please authenticate this brief I found in my grandfather's storage. Is this a field bag? I conditioned it so some areas are dark but it is British Tan I believe. Forgot to grab strap but it's buckle adjustable padded. 16" x 11" x 3" about. Thank you

Please authenticate this Coach Bag. Thank you.

Item Coach Winnie 9023
Listing No.: 121566745
Seller/Site: Shopgoodwill.com
Link: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/121566745

It's fake.

Okay, sorry! I replied to the wrong post. Yep,l the Goodwill bag is fake.

Have you ever emailed Goodwill about a fake before? Did they listen?


I was watching that Winnie on Shopgoodwill but the price soon went too high for my interest. It sold(?) for $176 and it's fake? Yikes! Did Shopgoodwill end the auction early or did someone buy it? I hope that they didn't pay for it already!

Hi, when I come across listings for vintage Coach companion bags and also the vintage Coach basic bags, they usually have “Talon”? Written on the zippers. I bought a vintage Coach companion bag from Poshmark last week. Here’s a link to it
I just received it and there is no talon on the zipper. Everything else checks out to me in terms of my basic knowledge of authenticity with help from your sale area guides.
Attached below is of the bag I received today. No talon on the zipper and the ring on the zipper pull looks silver/nickel? Or is it corrosion. Is this normal. Did every zipper have talon on it? Please see below for photos I took of the bag. Thanks

I was watching that Winnie on Shopgoodwill but the price soon went too high for my interest. It has one of those bogus "Entrupy COAs" and it sold(?) for $176 and it's fake? Yikes! Did Shopgoodwill end the auction early or did someone buy it? I hope that they didn't pay for it already!

I don't see any Entrupy COA. My post said that GW would "probably refer it to Entrupy", not that it already had been, if that's what you meant.
