Hello Authenticators, I have 2 Facebook finds here, I asked for "detailed" photos and this is what I got. Not great but I think you can see the creed...
#1 9973 Kit Camera Bag in British Tan
#2 5130 Station bag in Mahogany

There is also a black 9973 Camera bag, that one is fake I won't bother people with it. These 2 I am unsure on. Sorry for the bad photos.
The 9973 is authentic.

The one that's trying to be a station bag is fake.

Hello friends! I'm hoping to get an opinion on this listing:

Item: 9043 geometric top handle bag
Seller and site where listed: toriidenae on Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Rare-Vintage-1998-COACH-geometric-Turnlock-bag-66af3cd40e51729d9c248376
Comments: I'm interested to know why it does or does not look authentic. The stitching on the bottom is the only detail giving me pause.

Thank you!
It's authentic. I'm not seeing any problem with the stitching and even if I did, that isn't the main detail we use to authenticate.
 
One of the obvious things you can look for is when the hardware doesn't match, like in this bag. Brass buckles and silver grommets on the strap almost always indicate a fake, unless the strap was taken from a different bag.
 
coach wristlet
H:approx . 3inches
L:approx. 6inches

found it at a thrift store!
