Today was a very good mail day. I’m pretty sure it’s the real deal but some extra eyes would make me feel better. 9.5”x 10”x5” I was squished into a little box so it’s hard to measure accurately.

It's fine, possibly from the mid or late 1970s

Please post a link to the listing and the seller's name, as is required in the forum rules posted at the top of the page.

I’m sorry, was just so excited. It was a Facebook Marketplace sale.

The link doesn't work but I can already tell you it is fake.

Your link doesn't show a listing but if that creed is on a bag, you don't want to buy the bag.

ETA: GMTA!

Thanks, I had just done a search of that prefix and suspected as much. Just wanted to confirm

The serial number FONT is a bigger problem than the prefix by itself.

 

[hikergirl85]

Both are fine.

Thank you whateve, I appreciate you!

Yes, I saw the examples given when I searched it. Quite a difference!

I don't authenticate Poshmark so I'll leave that to someone else who chooses to do so.

But I have 2 comments.
1. Item #1 shows the same listing from the seller #2, klindback.

2. klindback is a mixer who sold this fake, which though described as "authentic" is NOT:

VINTAGE | Black Coach Station Crossbody Bag

Shop klindback's closet or find the perfect look from millions of stylists. Fast shipping and buyer protection. AUTHENTIC STRAP NOT INCLUDED (add a fun colored scarf or a strap from another purse and make it unique!) Some wear to the leather 9"x 9"x 2" Smoke free environment

poshmark.com

Be very careful doing business on Poshmark.

Thanks, @BeenBurned - I edited the original post (https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ee-first-post-for-format.889527/post-35022092) with the correct links, including the eBay link and item #.

A good reminder that if it's too good to be true...

Help requested in authenticating this purple Chelsea please. I'm suspicious of it, it seems off, but Chelsea is not one of "my" styles, so I can't really say why. Thank you!

Item: purple Chelsea hobo
Where purchased or how obtained: eBay, kiddo bought it,
seller: shagr-14

Comments: hardware is pitting a bit. Definitely leather, soft.

Measurements: listed as 9x9x3, I measure as 11.5x9x3 (could be the way I'm measuring.)
