I have a Coach Curtis. Had it for a while and I have it listed on Poshmark and I tried to put it for sale on Ebay and it was flagged and taken down. I know it’s not counterfeit but now I want some help with it because someone thought it was. I

You insist that you "know" it's genuine. Why? Did you personally buy it yourself at an actual Coach store? If not, you should have authenticated it here BEFORE you bought it, because it's FAKE. Where and when did you buy it?

You should also have included a close, readable photo of the stamping on the magnetic snap. There are also several construction details that are slightly "off". but the creed and serial number is all we need to see.

Please remove that Poshmark listing for "Vintage Coach Curtis Flap Brown All Leather Crossbody Bag" permanently.

I’m confused. Do you want a close up of the magnetic closure or not?

Hi @momothrifts. Ebay did CORRECTLY remove the bag. It's fake.

I'm curious how you know it's authentic because if you're using some online authenticity guides to "help" you, their help in impacting you, your reputation and your account.

ETA: I answered before finishing reading. I see now that @Hyacinth already replied.

No, I was just curious. The serial number and at least one other construction detail is absolute proof.

But if you ask here at tPF for authentications in the future for bags that have one of those magnetic snaps with numbers stamped on them, a good clear photo of the numbers and letters can be a huge help.

Did someone or some service authenticate the bag before you bought it, or include a Certificate Of Authenticity? We've seen a LOT of incorrect authentications from well-known services including at least one very widely advertised one (name begins with an "E") and those should NOT be trusted especially with Coach products.

Would you please authentic this wallet I purchased at the consignment shop? It's 5.5" x 4"
Thank you

Hi! Can you please authenticate this? I think it’s a City Bag. I bought on Poshmark from @daisyy2. Link: https://posh.mk/q7BS5hsYnBb *She didn’t post good photos of the creed so I asked and she messaged me them (see attached). I believe the number is 0107-906 (just very faint!). I don’t have the purse yet so can’t give measurements. I can still cancel order if it’s a fake. Thanks!
