Authentic.
 
I don't recommend Poshmark and except to point out sellers and listings that are part of the reason why PM is dangerous, I rarely authenticate or advocate for the site.

And this seller, stacerstacey, is one example of the types of sellers who sell there. (This isn't to say that all sellers are dishonest or that all sellers sell or mix fakes, but because of Poshmark's poor enforcement of its own policies and the law, many sellers know they can get away with selling fakes.

She sold this fake:
Notice that the description describes a leather bag although this bag isn't leather. And had Stacerstacey done even the least amount of research, she'd have known that the serial number is invalid: https://poshmark.ca/listing/Authentic-Coach-mini-bag-63dfb7939464f314fdab6850

And a tiny bit of googling would have educated her on this fake, also sold:

This is an ACTIVE listing of a fake:

And another sold fake:

I do NOT recommend stacerstacey. My guess is that she isn't purposely mixing authentic items and fakes but ignorance isn't a valid excuse.
