Good evening,
Could someone help me take a look at this bag? I just received this bag from the Poshmark seller. The original list doesn’t have a clear photo of creed.
Item: Coach Shelton Bag
Where purchased or how obtained: Poshmark
Thank you!

Hello Authenticators, please tell me if this green carousel bag is authentic. Creed font looks a bit off and I don’t trust Goodwill. Thank you very much!
Item: carousel 9942
Listing number:255071999474
Site: ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255071999474


The creed looks exactly as it should for the plant and year and mid-year creed modification. The bag also has one correct detail that the crooks never got right when they copied that style. You can only compare creeds between bags made in the same plant, year and preferably month. There can also be differences between creeds and serials stamped directly onto the bag's leather or pocket compared to ones stamped onto sewn-in patches. This one matches genuine examples in my files. It's authentic.

Thanks! I thought it was legit but the price was almost too good to be true for this color. I had already purchased it but wanted to make sure before it was shipped. I’ve never purchased online from Goodwill and I’ve heard stories about fakes. Appreciate the confirmation! I’m glad I went ahead and went with my gut instinct. It had just been listed and I’ve seen prices 2-3 times as much for just the common colors.
 
" purse_trippin " on youTube and Instagram is a scammer, a rip-off artist and a lying Sack Of Shyte. She's also a lawbreaker. Selling counterfeits in the US is a felony. And she seems to think it's amusing.

There's NOWHERE that she can go and be told by any legitimate source that Coach made handbags in Korea. Just Googling "coach handbag korea" will show that she's lying.

I'd advise waiting for Paypal to respond and refund before contacting your credit card company. You can only file one claim at a time. But follow BeenBurned's advice, she's one of tPF's top experts on complaints, claims and refunds.

Good luck!

Even if I think something is ok I always ask here...its got to go so far to get to me and its a pain to send back if Im wrong.

This seems like an example of a false serial number, with upside down digits. However, I'm wondering if these kinds of errors have been made in manufacturing. I have saved the original listing in case it needs to be flagged.
