Just a quick "heads-up" on the first Willis - it looks like the strap has had a few extra holes punched in it, but at least the end hasn't been cut. It's hard to tell how good a job they did with the punching since there aren't any clear pics of it. Willis straps usually have 5 holes but this one looks like it may have as many as 8 or 9.

seller cindychic1
I'm not going to authenticate the bag you're asking about because I've mentioned many times how I feel about Poshmark and their lack of making and keeping an honest site and the lack of honest sellers. Even when there are sellers with authentic items, I prefer not to support patronizing that site. In this case, I also recommend against the seller.

I'll also comment that the seller, cindychic1 has a bunch of fakes, both current and sold.

This very obvious fake:
https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-orange-monogrammed-purse-5a32ca727fab3ad0a40304df

In this listing for $900, (described as "All of these coach purses are 100% authentic and are available for sale") there are at least 4 fake Coach bags: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-purses-all-types-100-authentic-5989e5d6f739bccccf10c705

And she sold a fake Coach bikini: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-bikini-NWT-small-LOWEST-58e0a78778b31c772706d644
Sold: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-tri-gold-wallet-57d97a7eb4188e88f707b3f3

Sold: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-little-black-purse-57a15dfe2ba50ad7c601faa1
I wouldn't buy that bag you're asking about nor do I recommend the seller! JMO.

Thank you. I’ll definitely stay away from that seller! I also didn’t know about poshmark. Thank you again

And even though BeenBurned won't authenticate Poshmark listings as a matter of principal, I'll add my own comment that the bag in the photos is ANOTHER black mark against the seller, just in case anyone reading this thread is thinking of buying it. It's as fake as the others BeenBurned mentioned.

Hi everyone!

This is not an authentication post but it seemed relevant to all the vintage bag lovers here (moderators let me know if this is not ok to post):
Ebay is having a 20% off everything over $50 until 7pm Pacific so get your vintage bags while they are on sale!

My feelings toward Poshmark are my own. Others may feel differently.

There are probably some good, honest sellers there. But the bad apples and the site itself have tainted my opinion of Poshmark.

Poshmark seems filled not only with fakes but exorbitant prices, sellers without any knowledge of their product (many claiming that their bags are vintage when they are recent, for example), and other evidence of untrustworthiness. The whole experience reeks of amateurism.

Item: Coach Rogue 1st generation
Listing number: 253668359317
Seller: singlestarceiling520
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Coach...359317?hash=item3b0fcffc95:g:vCEAAOSwiz5a36sF

Comments: Hi everyone. I just bought this. I didn't have time to get it authenticated before pulling the trigger because I only saw it 15 minutes before the 20% off promo eBay was running expired, so I took a chance. I've been intrigued by the 1st generation Rogues that came out before I was into retail Coach, so hope this is the real deal. Thank you in advance for your time!

Since that's one of the rogue bags with the non-serial serial number, we need to see the white label sewn into the lining.
