Pretty sure these are fake, the one that seems real (from my very limited understanding) - the creed doesn't even match the bags pictured (it's brown, none of the bags pictured are brown). I'm attaching the listing as well as 3 photos of the creeds I requested, which were PM'ed to me.

I have been looking at vintage Willis bags and just lost one by 20 cents in an eBay auction that had been authenticated here. Argh! May I ask about a couple of other Willis bags?

1) This one is from Goodwill.

Used Coach Vintage 9927 Willis Bag Hungary

shopgoodwill.com

Its number is I6J-9927. I know that I is the code letter for Hungary from reading it here. https://shopgoodwill.com/item/140894477
Does this one look ok?

2) This is from Poshmark. The seller is Michelleye. Her ID isn't listed here. However when I searched here with the full serial number and style number, one of you had written that the prefix G4D was commonly used on fakes. Also, I told the seller that I couldn't see the strap hardware, and asked for a better photo and whether it is the original strap. She says it was the original strap, but did not post an additional photo to prove it. Maybe one of you can tell from the angle in the photo if the hardware is original to this bag?

One more Willis authentication request, please, from Poshmark, seller is @emerald_fox. I did not find her reported on in any queries here.

Vintage Coach Willis Crossbody Bag 9927 Black

I would not buy ANYTHING from that seller, or ANY seller using that photo in their listing.

She's already using a photo of a known fake as her main "modeling" photo. I posted here about that photo less than a month ago! THAT listing was from " visavis2015 " on Ebay.

I have NO trust or respect for any seller who doesn't use their own photos and tries to deceive buyers with photos found on the internet, but it's even worse when their main photo is of an obvious FAKE already used by dozens of sellers ESPECIALLY ON POSHMARK !!!

If her main photo isn't of the actual bag she's selling, can you trust " emerald_fox " on Poshmark to be showing ANY of her own photos? I can't. The other photos of the outside of the bag look fake to me too.

Here's my original post from March 3 showing that same exact photo:

Shame on that seller, and on everyone else using that photo in their listing. They're deliberately trying to deceive their buyers and I will NOT authenticate their listings, period. Finding a "nice" photo on the internet DOES NOT mean it's free to use in any way you see fit, whether or not it's a photo of a counterfeit item.

Nope, no collaboration. If anyone wants valid information, they can come here to tPF. If they want lies and BS, there are other sites I can suggest.

2. Poshmark seller michelleye

Not only did emerald_fox show a fake bag as her gallery (main) photo in the listing in question but she also has sold fakes.

In this listing, it appears that she knows the bag is fake and as such, cleverly avoids showing the serial number in the creed picture. But there are enough other problems that its fakeness is clear!
