I don't authenticate Poshmark listings so someone else may choose to do so.

But i do have a comment on the seller sesameandginger. She doesn't verify her items prior to listing and has sold fakes.

The bag is authentic, made in 1997.

The frequent "K" issue we see is when the plant code indicates the K factory. It's most common to see J4K fakes with a creed indicating 1994 year of manufacture with text stating US made. The K plant was a Chinese plant and wasn't operating in 1994.

K is a legitimate month code (as on the bag in question) indicating that it was made in October.

ETA: You might want to check with the seller on the color. Some pictures show the bag appearing to be black and others look blue. The description says nothing about the color!

Thank you BeenBurned for your time and expertise. I have corrected my notes about the K factory. Lol so much to remember, I do not know how you ladies do it.
