Another thrifting find. Please and thank you for an opinion on authenticity. I think this bag is super cute! I did some research and it appears to be a "City Willis Crossbody Blue Multi Leather Handbag 70th Anniversary Collection." But I'm hoping you'll tell me! It measures about 12” X 7.5” X 3.25”. It has the wooden dowel across the top.


Nice! We're bag twins! :tup:
 
hello all. first time posting on this sub and forgive me and i post this wrong, i am looking to buy a coach sanoma pebbled leather backpack.


this first one is in better condition, but i notice on the creed the G6E, the “g” is misaligned - does this mean it’s fake?

i compare it to another listing i am considering and the creed on this looks right



although the fastener is loose, i will try to fix it.

any thoughts? thanks in advance
 
So i received my coach bag and wanted to say, do most Poshmark sellers sell fake coach bags? Just wondering because I’m scared that might bought a fake coach bag not saying that I did.
I don't think most do, but a percentage do, either knowingly or not knowing. You should get it authenticated before the 3 days are up for your own peace of mind.

i will also mention both of these creeds are say different things. every other sanoma 4911 I've found doesn't mention water resistance on the creed, is that weird as well?
 
Sorry, please wait for one of the other authenticators. I don't authenticate anything by that seller. My reasons have been posted several times here, click on all the links:

Thank you for understanding.

I understand, thank you. Would anyone else be willing to authenticate? I’ll take a lack of response as a no. Thanks for your time everybody

Misaligned serial number digits in older and vintage bags NEVER should be taken as proof that they might be fake. Vintage Coaches weren't perfect.

The 2 bags are both genuine and made 2 years apart which is why the creed statements are different. There's nothing wrong with either, each is right for the time period and plant where they were made.

I suggest you read this entire thread when you have time. Ignore the links in the first 13 posts, most of them are no longer active.
