I don't see anything that indicates that the bag isn't authentic. I believe it's fine.

I still think there should be a made in tag located in the bag. It may be in one of the suede-lined sections rather than the woven fabric lined part.

It should look like this, a tag from another Rogue. (The reverse side of the label is in English.)

Thanks, I guess Ill double check the suede pockets. I don't like to mess with those too much as to ruin the suede. IM also going to the coach store tomorrow to check out the heather grey and oxblood. I see where they have their tags. Thanks! I only checked for the tag in the woven fabric part. Havent looked in the suede! THanks again.

It doesn't matter that they don't give refunds. It is illegal to sell fakes. They shouldn't be allowed to steal your money.

I live in Bulgaria, where they really don't care about fakes, and will probably laugh at me if I complain. The shop in question sells bags and clothes by the kilogram the bags are dumped in large baskets and you dig in to find treasures. The receipt does not say what exactly you bought, so I won't be even able to convince them I bought this particular bag there. On the other hand, it cost me about 5 dollars, so I can take it as a lesson and learn to Google better before I buy.

The seller on Tradesy is Vicky. (Scroll down and find the seller's ID.)

The pictures you've added show an authentic bag so if that's what you received, you're fine.

However had you come here prior to purchasing, we probably would have recommended against buying from that seller. of the 7 pictures in the listing, 6 of them are NOT her actual item but instead are Coach's stock pictures, stolen from the internet.

Sellers who show pictures that aren't images of her own item are not only violating someone else's copyright but they can fool buyers because you aren't seeing what you'll actually get. Sellers can show pictures of an authentic item but actually be selling a fake that looks similar to that item.

National laws and attitudes about counterfeiting can be different in different countries, so I understand your problem. (One problem we have in this forum is that if a member does not post what country they live in, it's hard for us to give advice that may fit their situation!)

For 5 dollars it's a useful size and looks well-made, although as Whateve said it may not respond to a good bath and cleaning as well as a genuine Coach would. But it's worth a try. Some fakes actually are very well-made.

Hi ladies. I have been shopping out of my closet lately and working on my rehab pile! But I was on eBay and even though there is not a creed pic, there is enough going on with this, including what appears to be a white tag on the inside that is giving me a fake vibe. What bothers me is the price and how many people are watching if it is fake. Is it trying to be a Post Pouch?

I agree, there is enough there to report. Rivets on the strap, shape of padding above turnlock wrong, metal zipper pull... There is sort of a creed; it's on the suede back of the flap.

So the only fake Coach I have reported have issues recognizable by the serial / registration numbers and I refer them to the salearea or daria48 guides. Since I am not an authenticator, can I report this? If so, do I cite the issues you did? I mean lol, I need to say more than it’s simply offensive looking.

Hi everyone— I’m hoping this bag is authentic since I just dropped it off at my local cobbler to have a seam fixed. I picked it up this weekend but am worried because of the J prefix— I know it’s popular with fakes. Thanks!
Coach classic pouch 9170
8” long x 6” tall x 4” deep. The strap gets narrower as it meets the buckles (sorry I removed it before the photo) and has no grommets on the holes.

You can report using the report button on the right side of the page under the seller information.

As long as you know what to cite as the problems, anyone can report.

Thank you, I will definitely use this forum before buying.
