This appears to be another fake Emmie? The creed and the back of the hardware on the flap looks suspect
Seller ID: mvannelli

REMEMBER SELLER ID in requests!

Is the seller's ID a coincidence? The bag is as fake as the group, Milli Vanilli!

This bag from mvannelli is also fake:

This scarf that was sold is fake:

There are probably more fakes but I'm not willing to go through all her listings.

ETA: I was still able to edit my post so I can add a few more fakes that mvannelli sold.


This fake got returned because the buyer thought only the strap wasn't made by Coach. The whole bag isn't Coach:

This abused Coach is a bag rehabber’s dream (or nightmare)! With my limited knowledge, it’s a genuine bag, just neglected. Is my assessment correct? Thank you! The eBay seller is reissuedbyrobin

I think the request was skipped for a couple of possible reasons.

1. There may not be someone who knows that bag well enough to authenticate it.
2. (This is more likely.) The pictures in the listing aren't adequate for authentication purposes. There's at last one missing picture that is necessary and if more pictures are needed, they'll be requested.

From the post at the top of the page:
  • If applicable, search interior of bag and/or pockets for small white tag with production information and include a picture of that.
I'd also like to see clear pictures of both sides of the made in tag.
Dear Authenticators. Allow me to kindly revisit this bag with requested pics mentioned by BeenBurned. Pls see attached. Thank very much
I believe the bag is fine.
 
It's fine.

I reported it as fake as soon as I saw it, have no idea when will Poshmark remove fake list ><
 
Hello, I have been looking for a vintage Willis in the dark brown color and I came across one on my local second-hand app. Could you please help me to authenticate this baby?

Also could you please let me know if you have any tips to "fix" the wears in this piece or would you not recommend me to get this?Thank you! :smile:

You need to ask at the Rehab and Rescue thread in the Coach Clubhouse sub-forum of the main Coach forum for rehab information. It's a huge thread so it may take some searching:
 
tks u

Probably never!

That's why I recommend against using Poshmark.

And not only does Poshmark usually ignore reports but they're also known to suspend sellers of authentic items, accusing those sellers of having fakes!

Hi BeenBurned, You are probably right! Some of the obvious fake lists I reported a month ago are still active.
Besides, I have been invited multiple times by PM to authenticate some reported lists. That is ridiculous u know, how could they trust a random customer's judgement again any possible fake lists? that may be the reason why some innocent sellers have been suspended.:oh:
 
Hi Authenticators!
I'm wondering whether this is genuine and what model this is? Looks like a Plaza bag to me but wanted to hear from you!

From Japanese Mercari
Seller:◆アパレル&小物◆フォロー割有^-^

It's a genuine Plaza Bag but I can't tell if it's the Small or the Large version, the measurements in the listing seem to be half-way between them. I'm going to say Small, from the late 1980s

Yikes! One to avoid. Thanks!
