Thank you so much @BeenBurned for your explanation and your time! I feel reassured now as I was looking for this bag since long time ago! Now I will be very careful on Poshmark !:amuse:

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to thank @BeenBurned for your help about the listing on Poshmark regarding the Dinky Fairytale. Just wanted to update you, that I have received the item today.
It seems to me that the item is legit but I would really appreciate a second look in case of the bag doesn’t correspond to the pictures enclosed in the listing.
It was my dream bag so if you could help me so in case it is not an authentic item, maybe I will have a chance to open a dispute on Poshmark.

Many thanks again! :hbeat:

    Item: Coach Dinky Dark Fairytale Purple
    Where purchased or how obtained: Purchased on Poshmark

Can y’all take a look at this red bag from Facebook marketplace? Picture shows H4B-0516. Based on Daria48’s list it’s a known fake. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3335896936736153/
The listing has No. 009-7015 as the number.
If that is the creed, it's fake. I can't view the listing because I don't have a Facebook account.
Someone must have notified her. I asked for a picture of the creed. And then I went to an appt. I haven’t received anything since the creed picture.


It's not coming up on Facebook, it just says "Unavailable".

I think it's best to avoid that seller permanently.

ETA -
style number 0516 belonged only to a Pocket Waist Pack described as having an inside zipper pocket. This is the genuine 0516, from a late 1993 catalog:

Please assess this bag:

Ebay seller Flubbydubby


Apologies for any weird info - each time I go to eBay to get info, my phone kicks me out of TPF.

I'm sorry, but it's fake. That addition of "1941" at the end of the creed is only found in fakes. The creed stamping is also pretty bad, lots of uneven or mishapen letters. And bags from that "Dot" line should have a Signature C jacquard lining.

It seems good, made in 1998

sorry, it's fake.

It's trying to copy style 3679.

Here's a listing showing an authentic version of the bag:
