Hi everyone!

I'm looking at a burgundy city bag on poshmark. I know poshmark doesn't have the best reputation for authentication, can someone please take a look? Thank you so much in advanced!

Item: coach burgundy city bag

Seller and site where listed: julianorth on poshmark

Please post a copy of the seller's creed and serial photos from the listing. What I see in the first 5 photos has me a bit concerned.

hmmm…. I checked the listing link & the creed is there, is the link bad? Here’s a screen shot of the creed - would you like me to just post the pics here?

The links are only bad for me, since I'm using an old and unsupported browser and OS. For future authentications on sites like Posh, Ebay or Mercari if you could just include the seller's creed and serial number photo(s) it would be appreciated very much. Thanks!

ALL Coach serial numbers with a J8H- prefix are Fake - NO EXCEPTIONS

There are other problems, but a search here at tPF for "Coach J8H" would have answered your question.There are a dozen PAGES of links, 20 links per page, to posts here at tPF that mention that prefix:

And just for the record, we raked Goodwill over the coals just in the last 48 hours for selling a fake with the same always-fake prefix for more than $300 US after REPEATEDLY being told the bag and serial number were fake and Entrupy's "COA" wasn't worth the paper it was printed on, which is a fairly common problem with their Coach "authentications". Start here and continue into the next page.

Item: Crescent with J8H prefix Site: shopgoodwill.com Link: https://shopgoodwill.com/item/150951932 AND with one of ENTRUPY's priceless CERTIFICATES OF AUTHENTICITY!!! It just doesn't get any better! For anyone myopic enough to still believe that ENTRUPY is worth paying for, here are a few...

I no longer recommend buying from Goodwill.

Just out of curiosity, is the COA from Entrupy?
