So, I bought this for $3 at a Goodwill Outlet yesterday, knowing next to nothing about Coach purses. I'm assuming this is super fake. Can someone confirm?

I agree, it's fake.

It's not necessary to repost the pictures from the listing. But the listing pictures aren't adequate for authenticating purposes. Refer to post 1, page 1 for the pictures we need.

Thank you! Sorry I took a long hiatus from tPF and bags in general and just recently got back. I'll ask for the detailed photos to help with the authentication. I appreciate your quick reply!

Both are authentic.

Thank you!

I agree, it's fake.

Usually, when "super fake" is used to describe a bag, it's referring to close fakes. In that way, this isn't a "super fake."

That is unless you mean "super fake" as being synonymous with "very" fake.

I don't know what you paid for the bag but counterfeit items are illegal and whether Goodwill, Salvation army, church rummage sale or yard sale, fakes aren't (legally) sellable anywhere.

I'd take it back for a refund.

Could you please help me authenticate this bag? I bought it and just received it, everything looks alright except the dustbag, which is kind of a cheap Satin material. The bag is rather small, so please excuse my blurry photos of the creed. Thank you so much in advance!

Hi,
I am Ranie from Indonesia. I’m newbie in Coach bag. And I just bought Rogue 25 oxblood in Instagram. Would you please help me to authenticate this bag. I’m afraid if this bag is fake. Thank you in advance.

I have the same bag and I'm not seeing anything that makes me doubt it's authenticity. Is there a made in tag inside the bag? Can you post a photo of it please. I'd like to compare just to be sure.

Hello, I'm brand new to the forum although I've been lurking and reading everyone's wisdom for a little while.
Is anyone able to confirm whether this little bag is authentic please? There are a few details that seem a bit odd to me as a complete beginner but perhaps they are legitimate peculiarities.

Hello!
I was hoping somebody would be able to verify if my bag is authentic or not. I stupidly bought on eBay and then had a sick feeling a week later that I should have researched before spending the money!
Well it arrived today so I’m wanting to put myself out of misery lol!

I couldn’t for some reason get the link as it’s only showing up in my eBay app so I will include a picture of the listing.

Many thanks for your time and efforts!

*edited to add a clearer picture of the tag!

It is authentic. I think this is the first basic bag I've seen with nickel hardware. What were your concerns?

Thank you whateve!

My concerns were that I expected a bag of that age to have brass hardware and my googling hadn’t turned up examples that didn’t have brass. I did wonder if perhaps it had a replacement strap, since the body of the bag looked more worn than the strap. Also the first three digits of the serial number on the creed seemed to be in different font to the rest. But maybe I’m imagining things!

Thanks again for your expertise.

The bag was made in 2002. Coach started making nickle hardware available on some styles and colors in 1998.

Don't hold your breath hoping that the seller, amypeichel will do the right thing and end her listing. (She also has a very fake Fendi for which she's charging $150.) And don't expect Poshmark to take action on reports of fakes.

I'm starting to see that. I've reported the listing and I've emailed them because I don't want anyone to buy it and get ripped off. A week later and it's still listed.
