Dear Authenticators, I’m wondering if this bag is authentic? The creed code looks off to me.


Item: “Rare Vintage Green Purse” per selller
Seller Name: @RaquelConcepcio on PoshMark
Item link: https://posh.mk/V08iVQB14tb
Comments: Thank you

Your link takes me to a brown Taft Bag from a different seller.

The "Rare Vintage Coach Purse Green" was ALREADY outed as fake by BeenBurned in her earlier post in answer to YOUR question.

Dear Authenticators, thank you for your time in helping determine if this bag is authentic.

Item Name: Coach A7M Oxblood Red Bag with Coin Purse (per seller)
Site: PoshMark
Seller Name: @ynotme9911

@BeenBurned - I see your point about fakes on PoshMark. One really has to be careful who they buy from. I really appreciate your input and insight.

The oxblood bag appears to be a genuine Soho Fletcher Bag made in 1997.

We would probably need to see a photo of the inside of the flap of the small coin case to authenticate it.

I agree that there are honest sellers and honest buyers on Poshmark. I also know that fakes are everywhere.

My complaints and issues against Poshmark vs. other sites that I consider safer is that Poshmark does little (if anything) in response to reports of fakes. And because many dishonest sellers are aware of PM's dreadful lack of response, after being kicked off and forbidden from selling on ebay go to Poshmark where they know they can get away with selling their trash.

There have also been many posts (on TPF) from and about buyers who have received fakes, filed disputes and were denied refunds on 100% fake items because Poshmark's "expert" authenticators deemed the bags as authentic.

And as a result, I don't promote, recommend or authenticate Poshmark listings. There are too many other sites that offer better protection and I prefer buyers go there. (And as an honest seller, I will not sell on Poshmark because I don't want to be associated with a site that has the history that Poshmark has.)
I do think I’m done shopping for vintage Coach on PoshMark. Just too many things I’m seeing that aren’t right.
 
Please authenticate this wallet that I purchased from a family friend. It's about 5" x 4" Thank you

So far it looks okay but I'd like to see a picture of the open wallet showing the card pockets as well as a picture of the inside of the kisslock coin compartment.

1) Creed says "This is a Coachbag" (no space between coach and bag)
2) Non Legible Serial #

The wallet is fine.

Were the pictures of the bag added in error?

Yes. For some reason lately my phone app saves the photos from the prior posts I make. I had a second blue patricias legacy. I accidently asked to authenticate the same one that was authenticated yesterday today. When I realized what I did I made a post of the new bag but not all of the pictures uploaded.
