It shouldn't peel off. That sounds like someone painted it, and what is coming off is the paint. The original dye of the bag should still be there. You may have to work hard to remove all the paint. I don't think it is a lost cause. Show pictures on the rehab club thread so you can get more advice.

Genuine Coach from the early 1990s, possibly a Pocket Purse but the seller didn't post measurements. There's no such thing as a "Penny Pocket" Coach. We can't find any indication of the name "Penny" in Coach's catalogs, ads or other media on vintage (usually pre-China) handbags.

As I've made it pretty clear, I don't authenticate or recommend Poshmark listings or sellers because there's just so much lack of integrity among both users and the site itself.

But I do comment and many of my comments on the site, listings and sellers show why I have the negative opinion I do.

And seller goochk is one such example.

Although Hyacinth commented on the listing you purchased, I'm pointing out sales of fakes by goochk.

Sold for $110: https://poshmark.ca/listing/Vintage-Coach-crossbody-5e56deb52e7c2f1c6adc0bab
Sold for $30: https://poshmark.ca/listing/Vintage-Coach-crossbody-purse-5e4ac93721cd0a1dba5dfa1f

How can you trust a seller who doesn't take the time to verify the authenticity (and legality) of her items?
