Good evening Authenticators,
Here is a bag that I bought at Goodwill. I thought it was cool. The dimensions are 12H x 10.5W x 3D. Is it authentic, and if so, around what year was it made? Thank you very much!!View attachment 4002587 View attachment 4002588 View attachment 4002589 View attachment 4002590

Genuine.

The style is called a Drawstring Sac, I'm not sure if it's the Medium or the Large.It's from around 1990.

ETA - I need to make a correction. It looks like a late 1993 or very early 1994 style called a Nicholas Drawstring, style 9946 which wasn't from the Lightweight line but was just the regular Coach glove tanned cowhide. The only visible difference between them that I can see in the catalogs seems to be a row of stitching around the top of the bag under the drawstring that's on the earlier Drawstring Sac style but not on the Nicholas, and how the ends of the drawstring are finished off. So let's call it that and date it for late 1993 or very early 1994.

Great info. Thank you so much!!
 
The black Signature bag in your first post is genuine.

The pink and white bags in the next post don't have enough of the right pictures to authenticate, we need photos of the entire purse or bag, not just a few parts of it. Is the pink fabric actually the lining of the white bag?Please try to keep all the pictures of the same bag together.

And please don't spend time trying to photograph the tiny stamp on the zipper because what's stamped on the zipper can't prove anything. Thank you.

Thanks for your suggestions, and yes, the pink fabric actually the lining of the white bag.
I send more pictures. Thanks for your help.

There is a store near where I live in Boston, called Boomerang's Special Edition. The rest of the Boomerang's stores are standard thrift shops that are run to donate the profits to AIDS research. Special Edition is for the high end things like good furniture, Prada shoes, designer clothes, etc. Usually they would display an item like this one, a brand new Rogue 25, more prominently, but this was jus hanging near other bags. It has the tag on, and a lot of the hardware still has protective covers. Because it was Thursday night, when they serve wine and offer 15% discount, I was able to buy this for just over $130. I put extra light on the picture of the creed, so it would be visible.

It looks good to me but please wait for other opinions/confirmation.

The rogues (and others) are extremely well faked.
