Is this little bag authentic? It doesn't show the creed so it might not be able to get authenticated. http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-CAMEL...689952?hash=item4409881760:g:PKoAAOSw~qNZiShU
seller name: santmat79
item num: 292217689952
The strap ends that connect to the dowel part does not look like the ones on my willis bag

It's probably fake.

It's definitely fake. Not only shouldn't the strap ends be riveted or the strap have a brass keeper, but the top of the leather turnlock tab should be padded just like the Willis. The stitching is sloppy too, there are too many areas that look too angled : / / / / / / / / / /

BTW, DID ANYONE NOTICE THAT THE "a" ON THE HANGTAG IS UPSIDE DOWN ???

Genuine, although it has at least a year to go before it's officially "vintage".

Comment: please confirm it's fake. The font looks very different than other authentic bags from the same month and plant.

Hi guys!
Could you please authenticate this Rogue 25 for me? I already bought it because I've been waiting for a while to be able to afford Rogue and I wanted it in Denim blue color. I couldn't take a chance and wait for you to authenticate it first.

Here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/coach-1941-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I compared the bag to my other Coach 1941 bag -Whiplash Saddle bag and the quality of everything seems the same but I want to be completely sure. Here are the pics I took upon receiving the bag. I can't unwrap it yet in case I need to return it. Thank you so much!

Good eye! You are absolutely right. Here is what it should look like.

While I'm swooning over the Rogue ^^, would you ladies please check out this fob?
I've never seen one with a brass key ring before. My other ones are silver - maybe the brass plating just rubbed off on those (?). Thank you in advance!

Thank you! It's so sneaky that the counterfeiters copied the exact valid serial code! Do I report?

The keyring and chain have been replaced, AFAIK Coach never used multiple-layer rings like the ones on the ends of the chain. The pouch is genuine and has the right turnlock and even an outlet stamp, but the chain and probably the keyring itself weren't made by Coach.

And all the Key Coin Pouches made before about 1998 had brass hardware, just like the handbags.

Yes. I was fooled by it once on another geometric bag. I still have the fake to remind me.

Uh oh - my ergo fob has the same multi layer ring thingie on one end...my white city fob is completely different altogether. Are these other 2 chains now suspect, too? I see now that the key ring on the red one is waaaay too big. Thank you!!
ETA: my iPad app is completely whacked out - couldn't even post! I don't know what I'm doing on this web version so look out

To me, the chain on the red one is correct but the ring looks too big. The chain on the white one looks wrong. The ergo chain looks odd but the attachment looks correct. Here are some from my files.

Thanks - I see what you mean! Now I have a bad feeling about the white one - it's bigger and rounder, grommet for the chain is too big, chain is different. It has a bigger, different style turnlock (prong back) too. Thoughts? I could've sworn I got the white one authenticated!

I suspect the white one might be fake. The grommet is huge and the stitching is very sloppy. Why don't you post more pictures and I'll give an opinion.
