Thank you so much, BB! I also wanted to mention that I got very lucky with the fake glacier 9966 I purchased on Facebook Marketplace a short while ago. I was able to return it, get my money back and she did not relist after being advised it was a crime to sell counterfeit items. :flowers:
That's great! Isn't it sad that it's an anomaly when a seller does the right thing?
 
Hi, can someone authenticate this please? It is missing a couple of indicators that would suggest it is real. And it's too good to be true. So I have my doubts! Thank you for your help!

Item: Coach baseball hat
Listing #: 373742804364
Seller: jaysrule
Site: eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/373742804364
No red flags but if you are the winner and can request a picture of any inside labels, that would help.

ETA: Coach has been reusing style numbers and 1874 appears to be one that's been reused

I bought it based on the bar code sticker. I have a zillion Coach hats and everyone of them have the size label, material make up and the care instructions. The moment I got it I said "OH NO". This hat does not have a single tag on the inside. But the stitching is good, the "Coach" font is correct but the absence of tags is bothersom. That's the red flag! Before I file a SNAD I want to make sure. I'll take pics of the inside and the Coach tag in the back of the headband and post it. Thanks
 
Item:Coach Vintage Tan Brown Leather Handbag
Listing number:
Seller and site where listed Poshmark Canada mult1worlds
Link:https://poshmark.ca/listing/Coach-V...her-handbag-D9D-9303-61783d4f275e552e116fa39e
Comments:Authentic? Style name?
I'm not commenting on the Poshmark listing but rather, commenting on the pattern that is so prevalent on PM, involving both the sellers and the site admin.

Although fakes are illegal and supposedly disallowed on Poshmark, Poshmark doesn't do diddly when reports are made and like other sellers, mult1worlds seems to know when items are fake.

For example, has this POS fake listed without the "Louis Vutton" name, described as "unbranded" but clearly implying that it's LV with "Louis Vuitton" markings on the fake damier pattern:

Beware of sellers who lie by omission.

BeenBurned here are pics of the inside and "Coach" font. What say you ?

Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't pay any attention to the other listings. I'll have to start paying more attention to ALL the listings a seller has. I just joined Posh, so maybe I need to be a bit more diligent. Thanks for always being on the lookout and keeping us safe!

I think it's okay. I don't see any problems and the embroidery colors are correct as compared to one of Coach's own stock images.

I was able to find one other of the same cap on Mercari:


Just curious.....Is there any label hidden under the cardboard that helps the cap hold its shape?
