Good morning. I know the authenticators are not fond of Tradesy. I have a credit with them unfortunately and would like to use it.

Item: I think that's a two toned Penny? I'm not sure. I know that it's not from the 1960's.
Seller: Myra
Site: Tradesy
Link: https://www.tradesy.com/i/coach-bonnie-cashin-hipster-brown-leather-shoulder-bag/750651/

Thank you!!!


It's not a Penny, I can't identify it without more pictures. And it was made in the early 1990s so it has NOTHING to do with Cashin and was made almost 20 YEARS after she and Coach ended their collaboration in 1974.
 
Hi Authenticators,

Item: I think it is a MacDougal Zip from the lightweight line?
Where purchased or how obtained: Red White and Blue
Comments: Definitely a crossbody strap in length, definitely a 4 digit - 3 digit but very hard to make out.

Thank you very much!

Good Choice! Genuine MacDougal Zip 4130 from the Lightweight/Soho line, introduced and probably made in 1993. From the 1993 Spring Preview catalog:

Hi Authenticators,

May you please authenticate this bag

Item: coach saddle bag 9034
Listing number: n/a
Seller and site where listed: sundaymoring999, Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-saddle-bag-L7D9034-Orange-vintage-5f92159cd737fd9d0fb3a83c
Comments: looks like it is from 1997? thank you in advance.


Looks good to me, made in 1997 as you said, NOT in the 1970s as the seller claims.

Coach's name for it is Ergo Small Flap. "Saddle Bag" is a totally different style.


Here's the page from Coach's 1997 Holiday catalog showing it as "New", the color is listed as Tangerine.

Item: Coach 1941 Serra Exotic Snakeskin Satchel Oxblood Multi
Listing number: see link below
Seller and site where listed: raxeitup66 / ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274922085945?hash=item4002a21e39:g:CmsAAOSw4O1hKC-Z

The item is noted as being a sample bag, so I may need to post pictures later of other tags in the bag, since those photos weren't on the listing.

Any assistance with authenticating or feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Like so many other sellers on Poshmark, especially those who are "Poshmark ambassadors," this seller
sundaymoring999 is a mixer and also sells fakes. Mistake or not, one would expect a "trusted" site ambassador to know the rules about authenticity and about authenticating items prior to listing.

JMHO.
