Hello. I purchased this bag on Tradesy and think it is authentic but would like a second opinion please. It was rather cheap which always causes a concern. I have only purchased one other item from Tradesy and they say they guarantee authenticity. At least I can get site credit or dispute authenticity so they say as well. I did email the seller to ask about the measurement discrepancy from what it should be for this bag.

Thank you for your time.

Am I seeing things, or does that say "MARXINGS"?

I think it is a trick of the light. It sure looks like marxings but when I look again I see markings.

Is this the full size or size 25? The dimensions in the listing describes a size 25. But the serial number is for the full size Rogue 30 I think. Do you have the bag in your possession? Can you post a photo of the kiss lock hardware? I'm a bit confused.

I did a pretty strong squint at it and think it's a "K" and not an "X".

Open to others, though! Will go back and squint at it again.

I think so too. I enlarged it and I can see the K.

I don't have it yet. I asked her to remeasure and she said it is 12 inches across at the bottom and 9 tall which sounds about right. I can't get any more pics but will check and post more when I get it. At this point it will be coming to me anyway. Tradesy won't let her attach pics to messages? I don't know much about that site.

Lucky you! A genuine Kristin Woven Round Satchel, made in 2012 and often referred to by forum members as a Baby Sage. One of my favorite styles - I own 2 of them - and absolutely genuine. It's an odd style in that it was originally made for the full-price stores which is why there's no "F" in front of the style number, but for some reason Coach decided to discontinue it and sent almost all of them straight to the outlets. We were big fans of that style here at tPF (there are 25 PAGES of posts that come up in a Seach when you search for baby sage under the Coach category) and when word came that they were headed straight for the outlets I headed in the same direction and bought 2 of them. The red one was my Christmas bag this year so I know it well.

Can you tell that I like the style?

Ok when you receive it please post the pics of the kisslock hardware and the Made in tag and the key clochette. I've seen some scary fakes out there. Here are the measurements from Coach for the black quilted Rogue.

Thank you! Hyacinth.. actually I am really like this bag. Actually I intend to sell this bag to a shop in Thailand and then they return this bag to me by reason that they weren’t sure about this bag. Well, I think this bag choose the owner by itself that must be me!!!

Hi, Anyone been having problems with selling on eBay lately? I had a buyer dispute the authenticity of a bag, so I re-authenticated it here, showing the link to the authentication to the buyer and to eBay in the subsequent not-as-described case. Nevertheless, eBay declined to honor this forum's authentication and is charging me for the return postage, as if I had sold a fake bag. WTF??? They also sent me a message pushing their new authentication service -- so maybe that's the real motive. Really unhappy with the experience.

Ebay won't accept us as authentication experts. You have to get a paid authentication from an approved service. I'm sorry this happened to you. I would call ebay and complain, but not sure if it would help.

This is good information to know, @whateve! I recently listed one of my 2016 Coach bags, you know, one of the annoying ones with no style # on the creed patch, but instead has the style # on the little paper tag sewn inside the pocket. And I am getting ALL THE QUESTIONS about its authenticity because the patch doesn't have numbers. I included photos of the tag in the listing, and refer them to the numbers there, and refer them here for authentication, but I am about to start blocking one of the main questioners because I do not want to risk what happened to @BronxBeauty! I just get the vibe that they are troublemakers... @BronxBeauty, did your buyer give you weird vibes before the sale that they were a potential problem child?
