Refer the seller here is she doesn't agree to a FULL refund! It doesn't matter how inexpensive or how pricey an item is. Counterfeit items are illegal and it should never have been listed or sold.

Thank you so much for your response. I did contact Mercari for refund and return but since I had released payment to seller, the sale was final. I will just take this as a lesson and learn from this experience. Once again Thank you so much for your response.

If you pay with a major credit card (which is always the best method when there's any chance that a site or seller may be selling fakes and Mercari, Poshmark, Carousell, Etsy and others all fall into that category), you can file a dispute with your card company if you have the same problem again. I'm happy that the seller did the right thing.

I just wanted to let you know the return finally closed today! It wasn’t the buyers fault in the end, poshmark was just being annoying and “investigating”. I sent her a link to view this thread and she was super nice and very grateful. She dropped the complaint unofficially but it officially stayed open until Poshmark confirmed it was dropped. ‍♀️ posh is being weird lately lol.

I think honestly some people can’t tell. Poshmark unfortunately has gotten a name for letting fakes run rampant and its reputation is affecting the honest sellers who won’t sell a fake. If I had a dime for every fake bag I see on poshmark I think I’d be a millionaire by now

Thank you all so so so much. You’ve no idea just how much I appreciate the help you give! I don’t know of any other group of authenticators who does this much for the purse community. You all are awesome! Thank you!!!

Hello; this is my first time getting an authentication so I hope I'm doing it right?? So here goes!

Item:

Bonnie Cashin for Coach Bag Kiss Lock Tote Rare Salmon Pink Leather Vintage 1960s Pre Creed​

Listing number: Don't see one?
Seller and site where listed; - Monalisa Creations, ETSY
Link - <https://www.etsy.com/listing/955947637/bonnie-cashin-for-coach-bag-kiss-lock?click_key=877122dd83f0d78f30c75d0c887c246c75a788ab:955947637&click_sum=a76cb5a5&ref=related-2&frs=1>

Comments: Seller states " missing metal Coach tag". Has several beautiful 1960s "Bonnie Cashin for Coach" bags presently listed and sold, that look like brand new? Do you think she may be refurbishing them? She points out a few minor flaws, but they are mostly from use, like little pen marks and such, not from aging? Please be sure to check the other listings as well. They are quite the eye candy. I just hope they're not too good to be true? She seems to specialize in this particular line "Bonnie Cashin for Coach".

I'd love to purchase this, but my concern is I am aware of some recent counterfeiters that have been reproducing vintage Gucci bags for the last several years, that are identical to the 1980s Gucci bags, and the only thing that gives them away at times, is their condition, looking brand new with no signs of aging at all. The labels, serial numbers and even the materials are identical to the Genuine old style Gucci markings right down to the minor details on the shield symbol and it's pretty scary how good they are! So I'm wondering if they may be doing the same with vintage Coach now as well?? These would be so super easy to copy without any creeds, right?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this bag. Thank you
