The first two are genuine - Sonoma Tote Nubuc, Plaza Bag (probably the Large but the seller's measurements don't match either of Coach's)

The third has an always-fake serial number and is a fake style never made by Coach. The strap grommets look silver and the strap buckle is brass.

That certainly isn't a valid creed number. Too many digits both before and after the dash and no month code. The numbers after the dash have been used on a lot of fakes. The lining looks really shiny. It looks like it is trying to be a Hampton's flap but a lot of the details are wrong. One thing I have noticed is that the fakes are often bigger than the authentic version.

I sure wish Poshmark would make an attempt to comply with federal trademark law.

That's an interesting way to ask the question!

How authentic? Maybe 1/3?

Seriously, though, the listing is reportable because at least one of the lot is fake.

The red bag has a plant code that should only be used on bags made in Costa Rica. This bag claims to have been made in the US, thus a slam-dunk fake.

ETA: Here's another fake, this one already sold to a buyer who got scammed.

The creed describes a leather bag when the bag isn't leather, the prefix says it would have been made in 1994 when Coach didn't even make signature bags until 6years later, the pattern is uncentered

Maybe I posed the question that way because the red one's creed looked strange to my amateur Coach eyes. Thanks for you help!

Thank you very much for the verification and the information, Hyacinth!

Also, I am not sure I would call this beige. More of an ivory or off-white?

Many thanks! You guys are the best!
