And coincidentally, I recently posted (what appears to be) a similar style fake on the HOS:


Yep, that;s a ripoff of the Classic Lunch Tote. More than just the obvious problem, there's a construction problem with that one too.
 
May I please have an authentication? I saw this listing literally at the last minute and jumped. I don't need these! But I did it anyway.

Item: Sonoma (lot of 3)
Seller: thriftytennesee
Site: Ebay
Listing number 393525780553
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/393525780553?nma=true&si=fxeFLbwvY%2BiNFGijo0Hha0fL96g%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Thank you authenticators!
All are genuine. Style 4918 is a Small Zip Bag Natural Grain, and the 4945 are Small Zip Bag Nubucs.
 
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.

Sold fake:
thank you Hyacinth & Been Burrned for your time. I will be more diligent into looking the seller before getting the bag.

Thank you Hyacinth! I was wondering about those style numbers after I won the auction. I was dreading the "those are fake" response due to my haste in purchasing. Thank you, thank you!

What is the ES that is on the upper right corner of the creed mean? I have read the guides you created and but didn't see a reference to 'ES'
