MFF = made for factory. It's an outlet version of the style.

Hi again! I wanted to know if this bag is authentic since the serial number gives me pause - attached are the pics from the listing. Thanks in advance!

The pictures show a fake and it looks like the listing has been removed.

I don't do Poshmark so I won't comment on or recommend the listing.

But PLEASE be patient! It's not necessary to post twice within an hour.

Authenticators volunteer their item and expertise WITHOUT compensation. We have lives, jobs, obligations, families, etc. and aren't online 24/7!

If a request is missed after 12 to 24 hours, it's okay to bump but please understand that we can't always answer immediately.

Seller: clinsd (stated in listing that she bought bag from funnyajk who has been in this thread and suspected of selling a fake)

Appreciate any insight on this bag since the seller originally bought the bag from a seller that has popped up in here for selling a fake. Attached are some of the pics from the listing. Thanks in advance!

It's fine, from 1999.

Warning: I'm posting this here because in the seller's listing, she refers buyers to TPF for "free authentications."

With items as highly faked as keychains, buyers NEED to see a seller's own pictures of the actual item(s).

Whether the seller is a member here or not, my feelings are the same. No seller should be using manufacturers' images or another seller's work to sell their items. Not only is it infringement but it makes the seller appear dishonest and lazy - too lazy to take the time and effort to do their own work.

The seller rxsd31 STOLE another seller's pictures (some even watermarked with the rightful owners name) to sell keychains. Then in her listing's description, she states, "+++The popular blog called forum.purseblog has been used by consumers to verify some of my Coach items. If you want to authenticate for yourself, post my photos or seller name to their "Authenticate this Coach" Thread and they will authenticate for you for FREE!+++"

Since first seeing the listings last night, it appears that rxsd31 edited some listings to remove American Resale Company's watermarks from the main pictures but the stolen pictures and other watermarks remain. RXSD31 also uses stolen Coach stock images in some listings.


Example #1 from seller rxsd31 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355432547092
Pictures stolen from: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134412635995

Example #2 from seller rxsd31 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355432543643

Buyers: Verify that what you see is what you get! Vet sellers!
