It's authentic. Since it isn't as described, you could open a return request if you aren't happy.

Thank you so much, whateve. What a relief. (I had started the return process, but then decided to keep it. I like it too much.)

Hello Authenticators (it's been too long since I've been here!)- I would really appreciate your assistance authenticating this Daypack I already purchased on Poshmark, please.

Item: Coach Black Leather Daypack 9791
Listing Number: n/a
Seller and site where listed: paradisevalley2 on Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-...Backpack-Made-in-USA-664f86f9ac1b04a8e3721c79
Comments: Since the seller didn't include a photo of the creed, I am adding a photo I took myself. I am aware it is actually NOT Made in the USA as stated in listing (anxiously awaiting your response due to this 'mistake').

Thank you so much (in advance)!

I rarely authenticate and NEVER recommend Poshmark but I'm commenting on the seller, paradisevalley2.

This following listing is one example of why I consider Poshmark and many of the sellers there as dangerous.
An unfortunate buyer was scammed when she paid $125 for this fake: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintag...houlder-Bag-USA-Made-630a7e9fb0f193a70600755a

Too many sellers who've been banned or restricted on other sites go to PM because they know they can get away with listing fakes and/or mixing fakes among other authentic items. And they know Poshmark won't respond and act of reports.

And these are a couple of pictures from the listing of the fake Littleton wannabe:


If you're still looking to do business with paradisevalley2, maybe someone else will comment on the listing you asked about.

ETA: I hadn't finished reading the posts and I see that the listing was already commented on. And after reading @whateve's comment, it's another reason the avoid paradisevalley2.

Hi authenticators! I am super new to the coach game so I would really appreciate your assistance in authenticating a coach court bag I have my eye on.

Item: Coach Purse (looks like the Court Bag)
Listing number: n/a
Seller and site where listed: lila99966 on Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-purse-5fda17acbcbb5286a23ee664

Comments: I was a little sketched out by the space in the style number on the creed as I haven’t seen that before in my research online. Thank you for your help!

It's fake.

The seller lila99966 also sold this fake:

https://poshmark.com/listing/Small-tote-581bca4a620ff719f102a46f

There are plenty of Court bags. I'd recommend buying one on just about any other site except Poshmark.

Very true... Ugh. I don't know what on earth I was thinking.

For your own safety, always wait for a response by one of the Forum's authorized authenticators. We can be identified by "Authenticator" under our avatars. Whateve's authentication of the bag itself agrees with my own but as BeenBurned pointed out, in this case it's the seller who can't be depended on. Poshmark is a well-known refuge for fakes sellers and almost never removes reported fakes or chronic fakes sellers.

As has been posted several times in the Salearea Guides posted here:

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...

forum.purseblog.com

don't bid on any "Coach" that is supposed to have a fully stamped creed patch and serial number (some genuine Coaches do not) if the seller hasn't included a photo of those details.

Dear Authenticators,
After a very long time (early '00s) since I last bought a Coach bag, I was longing for that beautiful leather lately. I didn't realize there was so many (good even) fakes out there of the vintage bags and bought three based on my own impressions. I apologize by asking for authentication late, but I would appreciate it if you could look at these listings for me. This is my first post in the Coach sub-forum.

It's an authentic riding bag made in the 1980s.

That’s great news! Thank you!!

Hi Authenticators! Can someone take a look at this jewelry box and weigh in on the authenticity of it? Would you have a style name/number, year and photo to share if authentic? Thanks so much!

I haven't seen it before but I believe it is authentic. The inside pig suede. Coach used it for lining on some bags in the late 90s/early 2000s so I suspect this is from the same era. More opinions are welcome.

Thank you.

The first one is authentic but not vintage, being made in 2006. For some reason, I can't get the second one to come up. I can see it in the seller's sold items but when I click on it, I get something else. The third one is authentic.

I appreciate your expertise greatly! Thank you for looking at these listings. My anxiety levels can lower.

Regarding the second piece, I'm unsure why the link isn't working. Maybe if I give it again by looking at her completed listings...? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1763765495...QYZ5J5&hash=item2910dc907e:g:r3oAAOSws35mQmfD

But I understand if this is a repetitive request.

I can't get that listing to open either. I tried different browsers and couldn't even pull up a cached copy.

YES!! After several tries, I got it!

The bag is authentic, made in 2005 so not quite vintage until next year.

Will post a couple of pictures in case the cache stops working.

It features a detachable shoulder strap and a turn lock closure. There is a pen mark near snap closure on the inside of the wallet. The wallet has a front pocket and an interior divider zipper pocket (the zipper pocket is black).

Thank you!! I can't believe the effort the link required—I am all the more appreciative of your efforts.

And thank you both for your attention to my queries. I have a lot to learn about these older (not yet vintage!) bags. They are beautiful to hold, and this one is such a good size.
