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

The rogues (and others) are extremely well faked.

I'll take a BeenBurned opinion over mine any day of the week when it comes to recent styles like the Rogue, Swagger, etc. It looks OK to me too. If I were a counterfeiter I wouldn't spend my valuable time faking something with so many expensive and time-consuming details when there are so many styles that are much easier and cheaper to fake. The studs alone would drive me freakin' nuts!

Use it and enjoy. The odds are strongly in your favor that it's the real deal. Pretty color too! :smile:

We need to see photos of the entire bag to authenticate, please read post number One in this thread.

Why are you questioning it? If you could explain what you think is wrong with the creed, it would help. I've only looked at a few others but don't see any differences between those others and yours other than a slight change in the wording of the creed in bags made at that # 93 plant toward the end of the year but that change is confirmed by other examples of that style from the same plant and time period, so what are your concerns?

And if you can loosen the lining and pull it out so you can get even lighting on the creed photo, that would help too. Bigger isn't always necessarily better. Other sellers on Ebay have done it with that style so it shouldn't be a problem. We don't need any more creed photos unless the lighting can be improved, and then just one photo will be enough.

I was concerned that the wording is different. Thank you.

Here's another one from the same plant number 93, same month (J for September) and year 2012. Coach changed the creeds in some of the plants during that time to eliminate the country of manufacture. Creeds from that same plant a few months earlier still included the China location.

and here's one from August, a month earlier, that also has the newer creed wording:

All are authentic.
1. classic pouch #9170, probably from the early 70s.
2. pocket purse #9755, from the late 80s or early 90s. This was never called a Dinky.
3. Zippered clutch #9455 from the mid 70s, later called a basic bag.
