Hi Authenticator, can I get an authentication on this bag, thanks.

Item: Coach Station Bag, no strap
Listing number: 224792553593

Just typing the serial number doesn't prove anything. And that tiny bit of the creed that she shows tells us absolutely nothing. We need to see the full creed and serial number.

Good evening Authenticators,
Can you please confirm the authenticity of this Coach Stewardess Bag? I have read on TPF that this seller can not be counted on to consistently verify authenticity before listing.

The bag is okay, made in (I think it's) 1999.

boxofhollyhocks also doesn't know how to date her items. The bag isn't from the 80s.

I don't recommend, promote or authenticate Poshmark lilstings but want to point out that greatdeals4sure is a mixer.

This is a fake she sold:

Coach black leather vintage crossbody

Shop greatdeals4sure's closet or find the perfect look from millions of stylists. Fast shipping and buyer protection. This black all leather Coach is very nice quality, This is a vintage bag that is sturdy with a fold-over flap that snaps closed. The straps have some wear. (See photos). There...

Feel around inside the inner pocket(s) and see if there's a small white label buried inside. It's usually as far down as possible and hidden in the pocket.

Thank you so much!

It's genuine, made in 1997 and part of the "Coach Companions" line from that year. It's never been called an Alesa AFAIK, in the catalogs it's just a Medium Top Handle Tote. The description is in the Summer 1997 catalog, but some probably drugged-up genius photographed a white example against a white background and all you can even see of the bag is the strap buckle in the lower left corner of the 2-page spread. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge, but it won't help much.

It's an authentic Bennett satchel and for $3 you got a deal! (We don't usually discuss prices because there's so much variation but $3 is a great price for anything! You can't even get a Big Mac for that price!)
