Good evening authenticators, could you authenticate this one for me please? I bought it off of Mercari and tried to find more information on it and became suspicious of it when I saw its a commonly "fake" style. Thank you in advance! :smile:

Item: COACH Mahogany Tribeca Shopper Tote Bag #9098
Listing Creed Number: M7C-9098
Seller and site where listed: @yadi.05 from Mercari
Link: Link to listing
Comments:
Seller Description: *Leather + Hardware has been cleaned and conditioned, unbranded dust bag is provided!This bag is in good, lightly used condition. It has a faint water stain on the open-pocket (picture 8). On picture 10 is (what I believe to be) another extremely faint water stain and what may be a hardly noticeable pen mark. The ball chain of the original hangtag has worn down to a silver color in some places (picture 9). Inside of the bag is clean, as well as the zip and open pockets. Straps are in perfect condition. This bag has quite a few scars, this is part of the natural grain of the leather, most are located on the backside of the bag and are hardly noticeable.This bag was made in the United States in 1997, as stated on the creed and the serial number reads: M7C-9098.Smoke-free, Pet-free home.

Good evening!

Item: Coach Christie Carryall Satchel F75720
Listing number: N/A, I think.
Seller and site where listed: lyndsimh, poshmark
Link: https://posh.mk/cOxJWjLGJSb
Comments: I purchased it and have it in my possession. I had it listed to reposh and then my anxiety overtook me, so I deleted the listing and I'm trying to make sure it's legit.

Oh god, I reread this and realized I just threw this at you guys without any pleases or thank yous. oof, I'm sorry. I'm blaming my sleeping pill.

Let me try again, please?
~~~~~~~~
Good evening!

If you don't mind and have a sec, can you please take a gander at this? The only thing I don't like about it is the color (i think it looked more pink in its pictures but is actually more red IRL). It's in pristine condition (minus a cigarette smell that I'm going to try to get rid of if it's real) and looking back, it kinda feels Too Good To Be True™️.

I appreciate any feedback you have as well as anything you wish you had known in the beginning.

Thanks and sorry if I came off rude originally. ❤️

-Jules
