Welcome to TPF.

TPF is confusing so I've posted the info you included in a way that's more readable.

Item: Vintage Coach Bag
Listing number: @krystalrose619
Seller and site where listed
Link:https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-Coach-Bag-629526a6cf7b27a6a3a89f80
Comments: Please let me know if this bag is real, seller sold it as a real coach

krystalrose619's listing is of a fake.

Be extremely careful because Poshmark is a landmine and does not offer a safe site. I don't recommend buying or selling there unless you REALLY know your brands. The site and sellers don't respond to reports of fakes and in fact, many sellers who are banned from ebay (because of fakes) go to PM because they can often get away with their cheating behavior there.

The seller owes the buyer a full refund.

ETA: @Katpoochie - Just so you know, it doesn't matter whether the seller sold it as authentic or if she admitted it's fake. Either way, it's illegal to sell fakes, PERIOD. It's the seller's responsibility to verify authenticity of any item prior to listing. If authenticity can't be confirmed or if deemed as not authentic, it cannot be listed or sold at all.

Is anyone able to assist me with authenticating this Rogue I recently and rather rashly bought off eBay? The seller had zero feedback and has been acting really strange since the purchase. Nothing on the bag seems too off, but I’ve never owned a Rogue and don’t have any familiarity with them. Please let me know if any further pictures would help, thank you!

Sorry. I thought I'd responded after you posted the additional info.

The bag looks good to me.

• Can someone tell me if this bag is real. Sorry, new to this site & not even sure I am posting in the right area. thanks

BASIC PICTURES REQUIRED (but more may be requested): If necessary pictures are in the listing, it's not necessary to upload and duplicate them.

• Front of itemView attachment 5427067
• Back of itemView attachment 5427068
• Full clear and legible creed text and serial numberView attachment 5427070
• Made in tags (when available) Korea
• Measurements ▪︎ 9×9×3
• For bags with turnlock closures, show pictures of back of female side of View attachment 5427071
• View attachment 5427074

Please understand and remember one very important and unbreakable rule - Coach has NEVER made handbags, purses, wallets or briefcases in Korea. Any "Coaches" in those categories that say Made In Korea on the creeds or on or in the item, or any paperwork, labels or tags with the item are FAKE. You should still ask here for confirmation, but you should NEVER buy or commit to buy them. That especially includes items from anyone selling from Japan, which has become a garbage pile of Korean-made fake Coaches.

Coach has made a handful of clothing items in Korea, and possibly even several luggage samples. But even items in those categories marked Korea can be fake.

Hello, found this cute guy at my local goodwill can someone take a look at it. I think it’s fine. But better safe than sorry. Thank you

Genuine and possibly from the Lightweight line.

Can anyone tell me if this is authentic? I purchased from eBay from a seller based in the UK but I’ve never seen the markings on the strap before. P320

 

[DoraLuz]

Well, I've got an answer that isn't good. I wrote to Fatima Anay Lerma Estrada aka ThingsAnay on Etsy and she's not telling the truth.

@DoraT94 -- If you pay for the bag, use a credit card or Paypal so you have protection.

@BeenBurned Hello I’ve reached out to her as well and she fed me some story. I will attach a screenshot. After I sent her my initial message telling her that she was lying she did not acknowledge that message. Instead she sent me a completely new message. I did not respond to her. The sale has been disputed by my card company and funds are back. Thank you for your response. I see she has removed the listing for the purse.

 

[OutOfTheBox]

This beautiful bag was passed down to me. Any info regarding style name, date of manufacture and verification of authenticity would be greatly appreciated.


Dimensions are 11 wide, 7 1/2 tall, 4 deep. Strap has 4 holes each side, no grommets.

Hi! I just thrifted this sad worn little wallet. But the zipper pull kinda worries me! Is this fake? Thank you so much!
