Hello! I bought this bag at a local thrift store. Would appreciate more info on it. It’s approximately 8.5 x 8.5 in.

It's fake. If you can decline the transaction or dispute the charge, do so.

Okay, thank you so much BeenBurned. I will definitely do that. I appreciate you all!

It is authentic, called a small framed pouch and was made in 1997.

Item: Black leather Coach handbag
Where purchased or how obtained: https://karnetcreative.com/ - purchased directly from seller on instagram
Dimentions: 6" x 7" x 3" (Approx.)

Comments: I purchased this from a local vintage seller. I've never seen a clasp like this on a Coach bag and am curious about learning more and authenticating. Thank you so much!

Okay, thank you so much BeenBurned. I will definitely do that. I appreciate you all!

I just wanted to share that I submitted this to Mercari CS. They are refusing to accept this authentication service and they want me to submit a formal letter from another company. I've been arguing with them all morning now, so lesson learned for sure. If anyone buys on Mercari, authenticate on here before buying. As for me, I'm done buying on Mercari, they're as bad as Poshmark now. Fortunately, I'm not out much and will definitely be using the scissors for some stress relief on this bag before it goes in the trash. Thank you again authenticators! I would feel worse carrying around a fake bag and not knowing it! I appreciate what you all do and as I told Mercari, you all are definitely the best!!

It's authentic but missing the strap.

Thank you @whateve for your time and expertise. I saw that the strap was missing, but, hopefully, this is a truly white purse and I will be able to find a white strap and if not, I might just buy a funky colored wide strap

Ugh! I'm so sorry.

For a long time, I've refused to recommend, promote or authenticate listings on Poshmark. I will no longer recommend or authenticate Mercari listings either. (I also won't spend my money on a site that has no issue with ripping buyers off!)

ALthough I know that their loss of my business isn't going to impact Mercari's bottom line, if enough potential buyers and sellers refuse to patronize them, they may rethink their ways.

@RoseTea007 - How was your payment made for the fake bag you got from Swiftly Thrifty on Mercari? if you used Paypal and/or a credit card, there are other options for getting your refund. In fact, a chargeback on your credit card could cost either the seller and/or Mercari a $20 chargeback fee! Personally, I'd fight this one on principle. (Have you been able to communicate with the seller directly?)

I realize my own refusal to help buyers and sellers with Poshmark and Mercari also impacts honest buyers and sellers on the sites and for that, I apologize. As much as people complain about ebay, they do offer buyer protection. Even without proof, a buyer who files a NAD (not as described) claim will win every dispute on ebay. Maybe that's why ebay is #1 and Mercari and PM are the wannabe followers.

Hello Authenticators,
I purchased what I believe is a legacy Willis locally. It measures approx. 10 x 10 x 3 inches. Tag is attached, but hand written on the inside. Will you please take a look?
Thank you

Item: Legacy Willis?

The bag is authentic.

I've seen tags that were hand written at outlets. I don't know if they were done that way because someone was too lazy to print one or if some outlets don't have the ability to print a tag. I've also seen tags with what appears to be a "non-style number" assigned to items for which Coach doesn't know the actual style number.
