As we've said before, there is no such thing as a penny pocket. It is an authentic pocket purse. It does look like jade.

Thank you very much!

It's confirmed for China starting around 1999. Before that it was used only for clothing made in Portugal. Taft are highly faked. I don't recall ever seeing one made in China.

It appears authentic. Camel was usually done with nickel hardware, at least in the 90s. This one was made in China in 2002. The color may have been called something other than camel.

I'm learning a lot here. Thank you so much!

Found this on FB Marketplace. Pretty sure it is fake as the serial number is a known counterfeit number. Do people report these items or just pass them by? It is upsetting when people knowingly try to scam people. Her post claims “passed down from her mom,” sonshe

Item: 181045700819288
Seller: Jodi Archer

Thanks for your time!

Yes, it's totally fake. The quality is AWFUL, you would never see a genuine Coach with the top layer peeling off the inside pocket. That to me says VINYL, not leather.

As far as I know, Facebook doesn't have any kind of reporting system since it seems like they will "consider" refunding if the item turns out to be Not As Described, but there's no way to report a fake before actually buying it that I can find. Buying from a FB seller is taking a BIG chance.

This page:

Facebook

www.facebook.com

lists "Third Party Infringement items" such as counterfeits, as "prohibited" but I can't find any way of reporting them.
"Third-Party Infringement

"Listings may not contain content that infringes upon or violates the intellectual property rights of any third party, including copyright or trademark. This includes, but is not limited to, the promotion or sale of counterfeits, such as goods that copy the trademark (name or logo) and/or distinctive features of another company’s products to imitate a genuine product."


A general warning - DO NOT BUY FROM FACEBOOK SELLER " Jodi Archer "

This made me laugh (from the listing on Facebook) from Jodi Archer:
"Amazing bag passed down from my mom so I know it’s very authentic"

It's totally fake. It would help to see the back of the turnlock, but the K plant never made bags in the US. They were still making clothing in Portugal in 1995 AND 1996.




ETA - And here's a creed from April 1996 and the jacket it came in:
