Dear Authenicators, would you please take a look at this.

Seller and site where listed: Theresa's Treasure's on Mercari

Authentic pocket purse.

I'm not a good rehabber so someone else can advise on that.
 
Authenticity please. Research shows this to be one of those "ALWAYS fake" bags, correct?
Item: Vintage Coach Bag Hamilton Seafoam Leather ID # JH8-4924 Made in USA.
Seller: LindasCoachCloset
Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1071185247/vintage-coach-bag-hamilton-seafoam?click_key=3fb130a10711b433f611bdfff1a7d6b54e43db55:1071185247&click_sum=756b6078&ref=shop_home_recs_24&frs=1
Yes, it's fake.

And LindasCoachCloset has a history:

ETA: It's not her only current fake.

Someone is going to be ripped off for $225 on this:


I didn't go through all but I don't doubt there are more fakes (current and sold). And there are several listings with creeds and identifying details omitted, implying (to me at least) that she didn't show them for a reason. :sad:

Thanks for the confirmation...the sad reality of deception and fraud while making money illegally from the unsuspecting.
