Hi Authenticators,
Could you please take a look at this one? It looks like a lot of work so I want to make sure it's authentic before I try to clean it. Ps. I added more photos and hopefully a better picture of the creed. Thank you!

It's fine.
 
It looks like the seller arlsha_2 is showing a picture of the creed from a previously sold item, a genuine city bag. The bag in question that was sold today can't be authenticated as shown.

Thanks, BeenBurned,that explains a LOT.

So we have either a very careless seller, or maybe a very deceptive one. Either way, a seller it might be safer to avoid.

Just a comment on the Poshmark seller lr557064 and one of the reasons why I don't recommend, support or authenticate Poshmark listings or sellers.

I will not authenticate nor recommend this seller's listings.

lr557064 doesn't bother to verify the legality of her items before listing them and as such, buyers will be scammed if they buy a fake from her.

For example, this is a listing lr557064 has for $250:
Poshmark lr557064 C5K-9791 creed.pngPoshmark lr557064 C5K-9791 front.png



Someone paid $300 for this:
Poshmark lr557064 N9G-9992 creed.png Poshmark lr557064 N9G-9992 front.png

This one sold for $110:
Poshmark lr557064 D6J-9061 creed.png Poshmark lr557064 D6J-9061 front.png


And this hardware was sold:

Oh, wow! Thanks for the heads up!
 
Confirming that it's a Convertible Clutch probably from the 1980s although Coach introduced the style at least 7 to 10 before that. The seamed and tucked-in bottom corners are extremely rare on full-size vintage Coach bags. There may be one or two others but I can't think of any off the top of my head. So with the center seam on the base, it actually has 3 bottom seams. Note that a longer 44-inch strap was also available


From 1987 and 1976 catalogs:
