Without even looking at the listing since I can't open Mercari listings -IF THE CREED STAMP SAYS THE BAG WAS MADE IN THE USA, IT'S FAKE.

PLEASE POST A COPY OF THE SELLER'S CREED AND SERIAL NUMBER PHOTO FOR THIS AND FOR ALL FUTURE AUTHENTICATIONS.
Hi, Hyacinth, sorry - didn’t know you can’t open Mercari listings. I’m attaching photos from the listing here. It does not say made in the US. It says Costs Rica and has a P for the plant location.

Thanks -
Lucy

Hi, authenticators- I’d appreciate it if one of you could let me know if this is authentic:
Item: Willis J9P-9927
Platform: Mercari
Seller: Haejung Jun
Item # can’t find one
Comment: The number on the creed is spaced very sloppily.


Thanks!
Lucy

The bag is authentic, made in Costa Rica (as indicated on the creed) and the spacing on the creed is correct for when and where made.

Here's a picture of the creed:

Item: Coach Ergo 9033
Where purchased or how obtained: Carousell
Comments: I learned that the serial number should begin with a letter A-M as it indicates the month it was manufactured. Upon looking at the bag I bought the serial number prefix begins with X. Therefore, is anyone able to give a second opinion on this.

Sorry, it's fake. Two of the three codes in the serial prefix are invalid

I'm in love. The seller's photos of this bag are so-so, but in person, it glows. Wow. Costa Rican leather. This might be the most beautiful Coach bag ever. Now, is it authentic?? :smile: I'm in the middle of rehabbing. Measures approx 10.5 x 8 x 5

Hello. I would appreciate your help authenticating these two items.
1.
Item: COACH VINTAGE METRO STROLL TOTE PURSE
Listing number:none
Seller and site where listed: jreedy0413 poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/COACH-VINTAGE-METRO-STROLL-TOTE-PURSE-61198fbc284e991e208164b1

2.
Item: Coach Geometric handbag # 9043.
Listing number:none
Seller and site where listed: k1302, mercari
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m43456977488/

Thank You.

The first one, the Retro (not Metro) Stroll Tote style 9004 is probably genuine and from the early 1990s, but it's almost impossible to clearly see the details of the creed and serial number because the pocket opening is so small. But I don't see any obvious problems.


I can't open Mercari listings so please wait for another authenticator for the second one.
