Happy almost-Friday! Would love to get the authenticators' opinions on these three:

Seller / site: linnyrue / poshmark

Did a search for these sellers on purseforum and nothing came up (no news is good news, maybe?)

Thanks in advance for your time!

All are authentic. The last is a Madison satchel 9725 (the smaller size). It looks too shiny.

The creed photo isn't showing the serial number and without that I'm not comfortable authenticating it. If you can get a photo of the entire serial number, that would help.

OK, I'm curious about these key fobs. I don't recall seeing them before. I wonder why these sellers have so many of them.

I purchased an outlet wristlet in fabric with a lip design for my daughter earlier this calendar year. I don't recall fobs but may not have really looked. Also, I can't recall Coach issuing the same charm in nickel and in brass. I must admit I like these, but my Spidey sense is saying hmmm?!?

ETA: Revisiting these listings makes me wonder if they can even be authenticated. One or two photos and no price tag showing. I wonder if anyone recalls these. I don't know, if they existed, if they would be retail or outlet.

I think they're fine. I don't know whether some Coach stores and outlets may not be limiting the number of items someone can purchase. Or perhaps the sellers have several friends who help buy for them. Or the sellers have friends who work for the company.

Coach does sometimes make similar items in different colors.

JMHO, but I have a problem with sellers who sell hundreds of hangtags that were removed from bags. It just strikes me as unethical to sell so many of an item that is originally included with a bag.

The saga of the small saddle bag from earlier this week ended well today with the bag selling and enabling my son to recoup his money. Lesson learned for both of us. Him, not to buy what he doesn't know. Me, that there was a small saddle. Meantime, I wonder if someone could take a look at this one:

Thank you, @BeenBurned. I appreciate your knowledge and your thoughts about the hangtags.

It's strange that she has allowed for the measurements in her description but left it blank.

I don't usually authenticate Poshmark listings for reasons I've stated ad nauseum but I want to comment on the seller. So many Poshmark sellers are mixers, whether they're aware or not.

I checked her other listings and mi__corazon has/had these fakes.

Having been on the receiving end of some fakes as well as the unwitting seller of some, I appreciate the homework you do with the requests. I also appreciate your comments here. I wasn't expecting an authentication from you since the bag is on Poshmark and I truly thank you.

In case you didn't realize, these aren't keyfobs. They are tiny charms. They are designed to put on a shoe, zipper pull or a bracelet.

Item: Coach Regina
Where purchased or how obtained: I bought this on eBay sometime ago.
Comments: I was thinking about selling this bag, I am having a hard time seeing the style number. It’s very worn. Can you tell me if there are any tell tale signs that this bag is authentic or not, so I know whether I can list it or not. Thank you.

Wait for other opinions but I think it's okay. I'm seeing a Regina bag made in March, 1998, D plant (if I'm reading the blurry creed correctly.)

 

[Sia’s Botique]

Thank you BeenBurne. I appreciate your help. I added a clearer picture of the creed to the original request. I will wait to see what other authenticators say. Have a nice day.
