Dear Authenticators, in my never-ending search for a green bag, I came across this offering. When you have a chance, please take a gander...thanks in advance

It's fake.

This seller has had multiple fakes on several different sites.

Her previous ID is on ebay appears to be no longer allowed to sell. It appears that that's why she opened this newer ebay ID.

Ebay - shanahanlu_1974
New Ebay ID: talula-lake23 (36
Poshmark - shanahanlu - https://poshmark.com/closet/shanahanlu

It's strongly recommended that you search and read various posts:

For the record (and as evidence of the seller's history), even though the listing was removed from ebay letting the seller know that the bag is fake, the same fake is still listed by her on Poshmark. (Other fakes that have been removed are listed on PM because sellers know that there's little response to reports on Poshmark.)

Poshmark seller

Vintage Coach Willis Top Handle Leather Purse Bag in Navy Blue *Flawed*

Site: Poshmark
Item ID: I can't find one on poshmark
Seller: nci_resale
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintag...-in-Navy-Blue-Flawed-64ed5980325187dd723cb160
Creed Number: 012-3445

Hello! I found this in the "new" section on Poshmark and ended up I purchasing it with plans on refurbishing it and selling it. I wanted to buy it fast due to the price and didn't really study the bag lol. I received it yesterday and just wanted to make sure it's legit. I have two more days to make a return on it so I can always return it if it's not legit.

Let me know if you need me to take any photos or need anymore information:)

please wait for the authenticators, but I can tell you I had a same serial bag and it was fake 012-3445. 012345. Sort of lacking in imagination. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/salearea-guides.983575/post-33239562

FAKE.

That number 012-3445 has been on the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers List as "Always Fake" for at least 15 years. The List is included in the Salearea Guides thread HERE:

The actual List is here:
and
and

Please read the entire thread, some of the older links no longer work, but the list is accurate. I don't even need to look at the rest of the listing since the serial format is incorrect for ANY vintage Willis Bag. GET YOUR MONEY BACK.

And because of Poshmark's "don't care" attitude towards fakes, ALWAYS have Poshmark items authenticated BEFORE committing to buy.
