I don't recommend Poshmark but I will state that the style of bag hayleyface is selling is highly faked.

The creed is illegible, the serial number isn't shown and if she copied the serial number correctly, the bag is fake.

Thank you! I really like this style and didn’t realize there were so many fakes of it! I’ll keep looking :/

If you like the style, you certainly can request better pictures and one of the other authenticators might be more willing to authenticate PM listings.

It looks genuine but can't be identified without more information and photos such as measurements and photos of one of the side panels of the bag showing how the strap is attached and also the panel under the front flap with the flap open. It's from the early 1990s.

Thank you so much, Hyacinth! I attached couple more pics. Hope that will work.

Can you please tell me if this bag is authentic?! Thank you!

Based on one detail I see in the photos, I think it is fake.

Genuine, probably one of the Compartment Bags.

I'm not seeing any photos of a creed patch or serial number.

Hi, I won't be sharing photos of this one, after all. Seller jerked the sale out from under me after it was completed. I'm wondering if it's because I posted the purse here, an $898 retail Coach bag "like new" for $30. Perhaps someone here reached out and purchased it for more money outside of Mercari. I don't know it that's true, but I have a VERY strong suspicion. I won't make that mistake again of sharing info on a purse before it's in hand.

If it's trying to be a 9063 Legacy Satchel, it's definitely fake.

Item: Vintage Coach White Leather alligaitor shoulder bag/Coach dust bag
Listing number: m92216444380
Seller and site where listed: Mercari, seller is Samira324
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m92216444380/
Comments: I don't think it's vintage or "alligator." However, I did some "google lens" matching online and it appears to be this bag: Coach Madison Domed Satchel in Exotic Stripe Leather 30103 LI/White Multi

Now I know to avoid Mercari Samira324

Can you report the cancellation of the sale to Mercari?

I have a comment on the seller, Sitdy.

Someone got ripped off for $69 (plus shipping) on this fake she sold:

Mercari: Your Marketplace

Mercari is your marketplace. It's the perfect place to declutter and discover items that are uniquely you. Say 'goodbye' to your old go-tos and 'hello' to one-of-a-kind treasures.

www.mercari.com

Thank you BeenBurned!
And may I ask which part of this bag gave it away? I'm new to vintage coach bags and really need to learn more about them

Among other things wrong, the serial number font is incorrect for when and where it would have been made.
