I am torn to be honest, the administrator of the page was very decent and nice. And the leather of the bag is nice and soft and I think the workmanship is subtle but I haven't seen the bag in the store before and the innertag is disturbing to me since everyone who reviewed the bag didn't mention it !!

Instagram seller clothesbrandshub. Many of the seller's Instagram pictures are taken at the stores so that doesn't prove anything other than she visited a store. From what I see (without logging in), there aren't any pictures of the actual items.

Thank you for the additional pictures but they really don't help much. A Coach paper bag and dust bag don't prove much since (possibly) authentic props can be included with fakes to "prove" authenticity or those are items that can be easily copied.

I'm still leaning (very strongly) toward fake. I'm not comfortable with the lining, creed, serial number, the stitching on the creed or the sealant on the bag (in general).


Some of the bags are extremely closely faked and I believe this is one of them. If I bought it, I'd definitely return!

(May I ask where this IG seller is located?)

REMEMBER TO INCLUDE SELLER IDs!

Seller FeelsFree on Etsy is also feelsfree on Poshmark.

I prefer not to recommend (or authenticate listings of) sellers who don't do their due diligence when listing, especially when sellers have as many Coach items as FeelsFree has.

Sellers who are mixers can earn a lot more trust and undeserved credibility and are more apt to get away with sprinkling fakes among their listings.

I haven't gone through all but because the ID seemed familiar to me, I dug around a bit.

This current listing charging $175 for the bag is for a fake:

Vintage Coach Backpack Bag in Black Leather Large Daypack - Etsy

This bag is also very sturdy and so well-made! This is a classic design that will last for ages. Features adjustable straps in the back, closure on front with drawstring pull and one zipper pocket on the interior. Interior has one zipper pocket. Made in the USA. Serial number ends in 9943. It is in

This post from March, 2021 is for a fake. In this case, after being told the bag was fake, she ended the listing, relisted at a lower price and included an authenticity disclaimer.

Since so many people don’t know what to look for, my concern is that someone will buy it for the colour & then not be able to get a refund afterwards.

@Zowm

I apologize for not being able to give you good news but I have a few comments.

You say that you're torn because the seller "was very decent and nice."

Of course scammers act decent and nice because that's how they have to act to gain your trust!

Not only did clothesbrandshub fool you by acting honest but even her listings are a lie as are the props she sends with purchases to further fool her buyers. I believe she knows EXACTLY what she's doing.

ADVICE TO ALL BUYERS AND SELLERS:
EVERY listing on EVERY site being sold by a reseller (not the actual manufacturer or legit retailer) should show pictures of the actual items and should include any additional pictures that are necessary for the seller to PROVE authenticity and for buyers and authenticators to verify authenticity.

Showing pictures taken in a retail store prove absolutely nothing about the item a buyer will receive!

The most disturbing thing to me is why does it have a Guang Yu creed? Where are the Guang Yu graphics?

I remember asking about another probably fake "Guang Yu" creed bag with the same mistake about a year ago and this one looks like the same situation. The style numbers are different but the photos in that December post and the posts following it show the same fake Guang Yu creed.

As you know, I stay away from authenticating newer styles but this to me is like a Disney creed in a non-Disney bag. If, as the creed says, it "features original artwork by Guang Yu", where is it?
