Can anyone confirm that this is an authentic Taft Bag?
Item: Coach Taft
Listing number: 9980
Seller and site where listed: gabbs2extra/Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/COACH-Taft-Vintage-Leather-Crossbody-606796d6ae766fb9023a81d9
Comments: Interested to know if this is real after finding out that there are a lot of fake Coach Tafts in the market


There ARE a lot of fake Tafts. That's why without a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number, there's no way that bag can be authenticated. And we absolutely don't recommend anyone buy a highly-faked style (and MOST Coach styles are highly-faked!) without a clear creed and serial photo as long as the bag includes a creed. Post whatever photos you get as a Reply to your first post about that bag.

Try contacting the seller and ask for a good clear photo, that bag is more than big enough to get any kind of camera inside to get a photo. Otherwise I'm going to recommend that you not buy it.

ETA - Or if you DO buy it, have it authenticated here right away. Poshmark has a very short return window and they're a real pain when it comes to getting a refund for a fake. That's why we don't recommend them.

Hello. I was purchased this cute Coach pouch at a local yard sale and was wondering if this cutie is authentic and vintage?

Thank you for your time.
I think it is authentic. I don't have a catalog for this particular item. It was part of the Neo collection from 1998.


It should be a Neo Coin Pouch, style 6284.

Thank you... this is the best picture of the creed that I was able to get. Hopefully it will be enough to provide answers.
