The green Marleigh close to $400 the brown Marleigh close to $300. Considering they were donated to Goodwill, the prices were getting close to retail. If someone bought them for resale, they will likely price them high. I hope whoever won the bid enjoys them!

That's very expensive. I don't remember the exact retail on these but I think the brown is the smaller size. The large floral Kaffe Fassett retailed for $595 so they had to be cheaper than that, and probably some were sold at the outlet for half price.

Hello Authenticators!

Not familiar with all the City Bag colors, so just want to know if this one is real:

Item: Coach City Bag - Dark Purple color (maybe aubergine or eggplant)
Seller: restivo1
Site where listed: Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Like-New-Coach-City-Bag-VERY-RARE-DARK-PURPLE-18-YEARS-OLD-ALMOST-VINTAGE-63c6d4917dfcc2a438f7e00f
Comments: She says the bag is in like new condition, which it appears to be, that's why I'm worried it might be a fake for somethingshe's had for 18 years.

I can't open the photos to see the creed and serial number so another authenticator will have to look at those details.

But Coach DID make a series of classic styles for the Factory outlet stores in the mid-2000 decade, and Aubergine was one of the colors available for the City Bag. In fact, I own the identical twin to that one, also made in 2005. So it's almost certainly genuine.

I don't recommend buying this bag or any of the other Coach listings from Japanese sellers. (Although this listing implies that the seller is in the Irvine, Ca, I have doubts. The ID is similar to many of the Japanese seller IDs we see, the title is similar to Japanese sellers' titles and the minimal description is "Japanese style" too.)

There are just too many fakes of popular styles and themed items within the last 8-ish years from Japanese sellers. (See separate thread with warning about Japanese sellers.)

Although I also recommend extreme caution if not avoidance of Carousell and I have no idea whether this listing of the same style is genuine or fake, the creed is different. (BOTH MAY BE FAKE, BOTH MAY BE AUTHENTIC OR ONE MAY BE GENUINE AND ONE FAKE. My guess is that both are fake.)

Creed from ebay listing asked about:
