Yes, it's fake and anyone who does business with therealreal needs to let them know that they've been listing and selling fake Coach items.https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/handbags/coach-leather-trimmed-canvas-shoulder-bag-1

When I saw this listing, I knew I'd reported it 2 hours ago! It was already removed earlier and terril_froehlich has already relisted!
This is weird.
grammypegs already sold that bag on January 29:
Nice Coach Handbag/Shoulder Bag
And oddly, the buyer left positive feedback for the seller. Unless the seller readily accepted the return of the fake, I don't get it!
Wonderful customer service, very good eBay experience, thank you!

Crystal and TheRealReal got another email from a lurker informing them of yet another very obvious fake.Yes, it's fake and anyone who does business with therealreal needs to let them know that they've been listing and selling fake Coach items.
I don't know who their "experts" are there but they clearly don't recognize the most obvious fakes so I wouldn't trust TRR to know close fakes!
(They had/have fake Coach keychains on the site too, were notified and advised of them and didn't remove the listings.)
ETA: Here's a recent post. So since March 12 (2 weeks ago) when TRR was notified that items are fake, they've done NOTHING to assure that they've taken steps to make sure it won't happen again.

The previous post above ^^^ was from December but there were fakes reported earlier in March also.Seller pinesparjohn
According to my records, pinesparjohn had a bunch (over a dozen) listings of fakes removed. Evidently, he didn't learn anything from the dings to his account.

I'm not optimistic that TRR will do the right thing! Unless and until they hire real authenticators, I will put TRR - TheRealReal in the same not-recommended category as I put iOffer, Listia, Poshmark and several other sites that do nothing to act on reports of fakes.
