Gotcha. Thank you so much! Tones of knowledge to learn. Another thing if I could, I’ve also seen chunky case with creed that says made in China. I thought all vintage Coach prior 1941 is never made in China. I’ve also seen Willis made in China? That’s a definite alert its not authentic, correct?

Here is an example of the Willis made in China.

Poshmark
Seller: recollected

There's nothing wrong with it.

Wherever you heard that about Willises not being made in China, you're getting some really bad information. China DOES make thousands and thousands of fakes, but Coach also has had more than a dozen REAL plants there as well.

I don't generally recommend, promote or authenticate listings from Poshmark because of the site's dreadful history. Some of the problems with Poshmark include (but are not limited to):
  • a history that includes denying claims of buyers who've received fakes, assuring those buyers that items are indeed authentic
  • lack of response to reports and subsequent removal of fakes
  • sellers who know items are fake but go to Poshmark knowing they can get away with the sales there
  • buyers who scam honest sellers and PM's lack of consequence for those buyers
This isn't to say that all buyers and sellers are scammers or that they are knowingly doing wrong but because the venue is so lax, I dislike supporting such a site or sellers.

The bag you've asked about is authentic.

Tysm for your explanation & verification of the bag. Much appreciated

Hope I do this correctly! Just need to know if it’s genuine and the year it was made. Purchased at an auction. I compared with many online and it does look authentic but I am just learning. I bought a few coach purses at auction and then found out one of them was fake so I’m checking them all!

I’d appreciate having the following Station bag authenticated. I see from an old authentication request that the L plant designation indicated a fake bag if it was manufactured during a certain period of time, and I want to be sure that this one is ok. I searched the forum for F4L didn’t find any other bags with that prefix, which also is worrisome.

Site: Goodwill online
Serial number: F4L-5130

Was it an online auction like Ebay, or more like an estate sale or auction where the bidders are there in person?

It's genuine, made in 2009. I believe it was called a Pop C Glam Tote. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

It was an auction on Live Auctioneer. Most are really good about Authenticating what they’re selling but every once in a while you get a lazy Auctioneer. You usually have a month to look up stuff and from the photos usually I can tell if jewelry is vintage, designer etc. I bought these purses before I knew anything about purses. Oh well, the more you know!

If they've messed up some authentications, I hope they issue a full refund if a buyer finds out they bought a fake.
