That's so ironic because I speak negatively of Poshmark every chance I get and I don't authenticate nor recommend listings on that site because of the lack of response to reports, whether through the report button or when contacting sellers to let them know items are fake.

And to add insult to injury, I was kicked off Poshmark several years ago after being "paged" to authenticate an item and explain why it was fake. The seller who knew she was selling fakes remained and the messenger was booted.

Go figure.

So disheartening when it’s easier to “kill the messenger “ rather than deal in reality.

Dealing in reality would cost them money and reduce Poshmark's bottom line.

Hi! I bought this bag for $20 at a thrift store in rural MO. They told me it is authentic. Something tells me it is not ... seeking clarification. Thanks for your help!

The photos of the creed are hard to make out (I think I need glasses 🤣). It reads: "this is a coach bag. it was handcrafted from the finest materials. its superior craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect our commitment to enduring quality"

So far, so good.

There's one more picture you need to show. Inside the zipper inside pocket, in the lower left corner, there should be a small white tag with 2 rows of characters. You may have to turn the pocket inside out to photograph it.

Please post that picture.

The bag is fine.

The bag is fine.

Yay! I appreciate you.

I tried to google reverse image search it ... love this style and would like to buy more (in other colors if they made them), but not finding what era or style name. Closest I found was a "katy" and a "sierra" but they are both a tad different. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help!

It's a Sierra. If you're searching, many sellers may not know the style number if they don't have the tag because they don't know where to look for the number/white label.

The style number of your bag is 37218 but if you search "Sierra" "domed" "leather" and "satchel" you can weed through to find the right ones.
