Here's a doozy...This one has a certificate of authenticity so it may be real? Seller is Alonso68 on Poshmark. They also have a bunch of other questionable vintage coach bags?

If you see fakes, just report them to Poshmark through the "Report" button in every listing.

Used Authentic Coach 9525 Vintage Black Leather Stewardess Shoulder Bag COA

I have never seen a story patch like this. What is the STORY?

Thanks but sadly, that would be an exercise in futility on Poshmark.

If you see fakes, just report them to Poshmark through the "Report" button in every listing.

It's a known mistake. I've seen a few stewardesses with the same creed and number.

I'm surprised! I thought it was a joke! Thanks for your expertise. ~ K

Images of my bag

Purchased at a thrift store
Creed: H1093-Z44715

Here is the only other one I can find on google.

I noticed it says “YKK” on the zipper which doesn’t appear on my modern Coach bag.

I love this bag regardless but I do wonder if it’s real, since I only see one online and the zipper says “ykk”!

It's authentic. Zipper brand means nothing.

Was this an online purchase? If so, please post a link to the listing (even when items are already in your possession) and the seller ID.


The bag is fake.

Attention:

For all authentication requests for items that are or were listed online, PLEASE include links to the listing and seller ID.

Garage sale find. Thanks for the confirmation.

Attention:

For all authentication requests for items that are or were listed online, PLEASE include links to the listing and seller ID.

Just to add:

A CLEAR READABLE PHOTO OF THE SELLER'S CREED AND SERIAL NUMBER PHOTO, OR IF NO LONGER AVAILABLE, ONE TAKEN BY THE BUYER, WOULD ALSO BE A BIG HELP.

ANY AUTHENTICATION REQUESTS MENTIONING STRANGE OR QUESTIONABLE DETAILS IN THE CREED OR NUMBER SHOULD INCLUDE A PHOTO OF THE CREED AND NUMBER WITH YOUR POST.

SaleArea guides

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

ESPECIALLY THIS PART:

SaleArea guides

PAGE 2 THE CENTERED C RULE or THE C'S ARE PERFECTLY STRAIGHT RULE MOSTLY true, with plenty of exceptions. The center seam or a line down the front of a bag with Signature or Op Art C's should usually divide it into 2 halves that are mirror images of each other. But: Sometimes the back isn't...

And please stop getting information from inaccurate and outdated online "authenticity guides".

ALMOST WITHOUT FAIL, EVERY SINGLE SO-CALLED GUIDE I'VE FOUND ON THE INTERNET THAT CLAIMS TO TELL YOU IN ITS TITLE ANYTHING SIMILAR TO "HOW TO SPOT A FAKE COACH", "HOW TO TELL IF YOUR COACH IS REAL", etc., IS LOADED WITH MISTAKES. PLEASE DO NOT DEPEND ON ANY OF THEM.

The writers and posters of these trash "guides" that have resulted in thousands of gullible readers spending their hard-earned money on fake Coaches should be sued.
