What in the what is going on? I bought some shoes I would like a bag to go with. Since lately I haven’t seen anything new I want I decided to go looking for something on poshmark. I found like 15 of the same bags I wanted to choose from. I like maybe 6 that are priced fair. Then I go in each individual listing to get a good look at the product. Then check the seller, their love notes, and their closet. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this either. In fact it happened last time I went looking to buy something specific but because something feels scammy about it I never ended up buying what I wanted. The worst part is there’s so many of these types of sellers they drown out the legit ones. First of all they have so many listings I can’t get to their sold listings in any decent amount of time. I’m too ADD to scroll thousands of uninteresting or interesting listings. Like who has this much time to source this much? Who has this much time to scroll? Obviously this is their job. I like shopping closets like mine. Actually someone’s stuff.
Maybe a collector of the same stuff as I, that maybe they never got a chance to wear, bought 2 of or a gift that wasn’t loved or didn’t fit. I don’t mind boutiques, but when it’s too much you lose me. I’m sure not everyone feels that way but this is why I prefer to shop boutiques in person over department stores. Anyway, I noticed the same items will be on different sellers “closets” and they all are fairly new like since 2025 or 2026. They will all use the same exact wording and fonts in the description for all the items including fonts with their watermark across the photos. The same font, different name. Each listing will also be priced the same or a dollar difference. All are obviously the same seller with 6 different closets! Isn’t that against the rules? Should I be reporting it? I just don’t trust buying from them because it’s deceptive and if there willing to cheat in this way I don’t doubt they would cheat in another. I just don’t want to do business with a seller like that and worry about authenticity. The problem is I get so discouraged by this I never stay engaged long enough to find a real closet. So again that’s money I tried to spend that I ended up not spending on poshmark. I can only imagine how many other times this has happened with other once loyal customers.
I used to love that I could go on poshmark and find virtually anything I was looking for. Sold out online, I’ll find it on poshmark. I guess those days are long gone. Is anyone reading this opening more than one closet on poshmark? Is this allowed and may I ask why you do it. If you have one bag you only need one closet and one listing right?

Rant: I am so disappointed in Kate Spade. I got a text the other day from my sales associate stating they miss me and if there’s anything I need, don’t be afraid to reach out. I’ve ghosted them they understand because we’ve had this talk. I’m just still in shock. This was my brand. Every release I’d buy the whole set, shoes, dress, bag, wallet, charms, and jewelry. Literally every month, every release. My husband’s happy because we’ve saved a lot of money. I got a text message saying new releases dropped. I click on it. A lot looks like coach. I don’t like coach. Kate Spade and coach were very different identities. Coach was basic trendy girl. Kate Spade was whimsy, where did you get that, quality. Who wants to pay $400 for a basic dress? It was worth it when it wasn’t basic. If I see another duo or loop bag I think I’ll barf. It reminds me of the early 2000s when I was a kid and broke so I carried flimsy cheap bags that looked just like duo or loop. This is literally the vibe. The charms look so cheap. I went and looked at them in person before purchasing, and I’m glad I did. I really liked the flora bag, but I saw it in person at the outlet and it’s so flimsy and cheap. Cheep, cheep, cheep!! Barf. I’ve been waiting for some pretty floral prints, but it literally looks like Coach! The floral appliqué on the sandals and a few of the bags looks like they copied polene. If I wanna polene I will buy a polene with much better quality. The flower jewelry they just released is like plastic and the most basic flowers. Kate Spade specialty bags used to be indestructible. Even the good bags on the specialty site look like they were manufactured from the same manufacturer as the outlet. I know that they are owned by coach so I don’t think my vote counts anymore. However, a certain demographic including myself would spend $500–$2,000 a month easily. I don’t believe the new demographic they’re targeting can afford that especially in this economy. From what I can see pertaining to posts on this subreddit looks like some girls are saving up to purchase their first 1-$200 outlet bag. Every time there was an event I’d run up buy the dress, shoes, jewelry, and bag. I’ve read that their sales are down. I don’t think this targeted demographic is doing the same so it makes sense. When they ditch their core audience who has been down with them through everything I’m sure they’re struggling. Some things are timeless. Jumping on the trend train doesn’t sustain. I don’t see things getting better. I think they alienated their core audience who kept them afloat for so long.
