Hi there! Could you please authenticate this --

Poshmark Canada
Seller: lynhotta


Thank you so much!
DO NOT BUY!

The "bean bag" creed (fake on many items) and 308-9875 serial number (always fake) prove that lynhotta didn't verify the legitimacy of her items!

And she also has another fake:

Thanks so much!! I thought I had read something about that! So glad I asked.
 
Yes. It was eBay and I did report it. I actually was so upset I went through and reported all the ones that looked shady! About 99.9% of them. I’m going to try and attach the link.

After you'd posted last week about the Jean Michel Basquiat bag, I did a search and found one (that I can no longer locate) that was for a Basquiat bag with a creed describing the artwork of Keith Haring!

There are just so many fakes, especially from Japanese sellers, of the "themed collaboration" items. And because Japan used to have a good reputation as being a "safe" country from which to buy authentic items, the trickle-down is that many US buyers and resellers purchased from them to resell here.

Be VERY careful of when buying Disney, Peanuts, Nasa, Keith Haring, Jean Michel Basquiat, Rogues, Swaggers, Tea Rose and just about any other highly faked Coach items, especially from sellers in Japan.


ETA: I found the Basquiat item with the Haring creed. (But to the untrained eye, this is really easy to miss!)

This might be my first rehab project or it might be fake. At the price I paid, it is nothing ventured, nothing gained

Coach Station Creed # E5-A5130
Purchased at Goodwill during half off all green tags. I paid $7.50
Comment: The leather seems softer than the Station bag I owned in the 80's that was purchased from either the Coach store or Marshall Fields.
Can you tell me when this bag was manufactured?

Your expertise is very much appreciated. Thank you.

I believe your station bag is authentic and is a bag with a legitimate mistake made by Coach. We've seen a number of errors from the A plant.

It was made in 1995.
 
Happy Monday! :sleepy:

Can you please take a look at this bag? The picture of the creed is pretty blurry though…

Seller: dsr2324h

All I'm getting is "The listing you are looking for is no longer available" which probably answers your question. That might be a hint that listings from seller " dsr2324h " at Poshmark seem to require even more than the usual care when buying.

Sorry for the repost! I think it might have gotten lost in the other recent posts

I'd seen your request also and did a "people" search of the seller, dsr2324h and it didn't come up.

Did you copy the seller ID correctly?

I hope you'll share your rehab success on the rehab thread. :)

Well, that’s not good. The bag was only $14 so I bought it before asking you. Now when I try to view my purchase it says unable to load! The sellers name is correct but I can’t find them either…

I still have time to cancel the order :(

If there's a chance that it's authentic, I believe you can await delivery and return without cost to you if it turns out to be fake.

You can post pictures here if that's the route you take.
