Hello! I just purchased this bag on Poshmark from @tamanthaw

https://posh.mk/t4v8kJAHzBb (also attached my screenshots of the 4 photos she posted)

She didn’t post a creed photo but I purchased quickly due to the low price and then messaged her to ask for a photo of the creed. She said it was already packed up to ship. This makes me worry some that it’s fake. I did clarify it is silver hardware. It looks a bit like a Willis or Station bag but photos aren’t the best and it has silver hardware so I’m not sure. I know it’s very hard to authenticate without the creed and her photos aren’t the best. But if you’re able to tell if it’s authentic I’d appreciate it. If you can’t tell, I completely understand and I’ll repost when I receive it with photos of the creed. I can return it within 3 days of receiving it if it’s fake so it’s ok if I have to wait until then. Thanks for your help!

You'll have to wait until you get it and post a creed picture for it to be authenticated. I don't see any problems from those pictures.

Hello Authenticators,

Item: Coach 9166

Link:

I have attached the creed picture as well

Comments:
I checked the previously mentioned facts for bag 9166.
Made for fall 2000 (G0R, July 2000 is a few months from fall so should be ok)

I have never hear of factory “R” and the creed text is almost completely gone, a bit suspicious, this is why I’m asking for help in authenticating it. Thank you in advance for taking a look!

It's FAKE.

The R plant code in 2000 belonged to a plant in Thailand.

We can't say this often enough - always have Coaches authenticated BEFORE buying. The fakes you've found are prime examples why it's so important.

Oh man, not another one! And thank you for verifying my suspicion. Yes, I have only blind bought two bags in the past. One ended up being a fake and the other was good, the uncertainty that comes with not knowing is not worth it for me. I’m so appreciative of you guys since there is multiple fakes and wrong info out there.
