Good morning, Authenticators. Would very much appreciate you taking a look at this bag. Is it genuine?
Pocket drawstring #4926 on Poshmark and the seller is chicagocounter

Thank you for your time

I don't recommend, support nor authenticate Poshmark listings.

But I have a comment on the seller chicagocounter and the issue is part of the reason why I refuse to support the site or sellers.

chicagocounter​

has this current listing for a close but nonetheless fake item at $125:

and she sold this fake: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-Coach-Bucket-Bag-4075-5bea233134a4ef4366252e8e

I haven't gone through all her listings but IMO, sellers who are "mixers" (fake and authentic) can be more dangerous and more deceptive than sellers who wouldn't recognize a genuine item if it bit them because mixers tend to instill a false measure of "trust" in buyers who may have been lucky enough to get an authentic item.

I think it's probably okay but a better and right side up picture of the creed would be more helpful.

Thank you!

DON'T BUY FROM chicagocounter

Thank you, BeenBurned! Was thinking about doing a birthday splurge there, but no. I did check the Hall of Shame for chicagocounter but nothing came up. Don't know why. I really appreciate that thread and use it frequently. Again, many thanks. The periwinkle search continues...

Not every fake is posted to the HOS.

Additionally, I rarely post Poshmark sellers' listings there because Poshmark doesn't respond to reports by removing listings. (Occasionally, they send reported listings to random users on their site to "evaluate" and decide if they're fake but if those users don't know the brands and can't recognize fakes, it does no good.)

Searching the entire site (or the Coach subforum) will bring up sellers' IDs if their items were asked about but in the case of chicagocounter, the times her items were authenticated, they were genuine.

This is a search of the TPF site for the seller:

It's a Madison Biltmore Bag made in 1997.

Thanks, again. Lots to learn here

Just a comment. I just rehabbed a 4926 drawstring bag. SUCH a nice bag. Hope you find one in a color you like!

Hello,

Please authenticate this Coach Park Leather Duffle bag that I found at the Goodwill store. Thank you.

 

[ConnieinSeattle]

Please and thank you for an authentication. This bag has been in my possession for maybe a year. Can't find the purchase link, however, I remember I bought it as part of a larger lot on shopgoodwill.com. Finally getting around to rehabbing it and thought I should get it authenticated. It's Blavy-Blue, a chester canteen bag. Measures about 8.75 inches long by 7.5 inches high by 3 inches across the bottom. Here are some photos:
