It's fake. Other opinions welcome. I don't know where they are coming from but my guess is as good as yours.

1. Rogues are highly faked and well faked.
2. The pictures in the listing aren't adequate for authentication purposes. In fact, they're useless!
3. Those shown, particularly the creed is too blurry (at least for my eyes) to read it and none of the important details are shown.
4. From what I've seen, the Rogues with two letters in the first part of the serial number weren't followed by actual style numbers (as seems to be the case with this item).
5. In the original Rogues (prior to Coach putting date and style serials, the letters were RG for Rogue and the second half wasn't the actual style number but was 20315 (or a similar number). THe listing in question doesn't appear to say "RG" in the prefix.

@houseof999 might have further comments but from what I see, I recommend against buying it!

In fact, of all the 52943 listings, current and completed, there are just 2 listings that I would feel comfortable about. NONE of the other sellers show enough pictures, clear pictures and many only show stock images.

ETA: Houseof999 confirmed what I thought!

Thanks for your responses. I also saw another Rogue listing from this seller that had the exact same images as another seller who is also from Japan. It was a melon Rogue 25. Do either of you know if Coach even made a melon Rogue 25 with the exact same coloring as the regular size one from a couple years ago? I don't ever remember seeing one.
 
Yahooo! Thanks so much! Now I’ll be reading the posts again that I found in the rehab thread about this leather so I can spruce her up a bit (as much as I can with this leather [emoji1]).
The name included the word vintage, so it is supposed to look aged. It's so pretty. Probably just needs some conditioning.

Please post the other listing. If confirmed fake, we can report.
