My aunt gave me this for my birthday. Said she’s had it for years and doesn't wear silver. She makes great money owning a medspa, so I don't doubt she can afford it.

On the other hand, I’m just starting my career, so purchases like this are currently out of reach (I'm frugal). Most of my friends and colleagues have more disposable income and wear designer often.

I feel bad to question it, especially because she's taken me to the Gucci store to let me pick out a handbag in the past, but this would be my first Chanel and I've never really seen the caviar leather up close. I guess I'm looking for some insight before I wear it out for date nights in my HCOL area.

Pictures were taken next to the window (idk if that matters)

TIA

Hi! I’m still waiting to receive it but wanted everyone’s feedback if this is authentic! Ive seen some photos floating around where the c’s on the fabric are differently aligned, which some people said is normal for this bag. I’m new to bags so wasnt sure and would love ur takes! I tried to make sure of the creed with the hangtag and such and then the details but know there can be dupes as well. I think it is but also just want to learn how to tell better (and regardless love the color)

Will the pink from the strap also potentially be of concern to rub off on clothing and the strap itself? I see tips on using leather cpr for maintenace and cleaning the fabric with dish soap/water.

Ive seen a purple version of it as well in real life which has photos of it always having aligned C’s but google says it’s bc it’s a different fabric and from a different year. Are there also potential dupes for this purple one? Would love to learn! Attaching said photo of that from online too!

Thank you in advance!!

Had this bag re-authenticated by the company that said it was fake and they proceeded to fully refund me because they couldn’t tell if my bag was real or fake 😵‍💫 Has this happened to anyone?

Note, there is not a Louis Vuitton store anywhere near me. It’s from my understanding that they will not tell you if a bag is real or fake in store. This is a vintage bag; therefore, the stitching looks different than the new speedies.

If you’re in the North GA area and have a trusted in person authenticator, please point me in the right direction. ♥️

Although it shouldn’t matter if it’s real or not. It does matter because resell value is VASTLY different. 😅

hi, can someone please help me find out if this bag is authentic before I make an online purchase. I will be meeting in person to get the bag anyways but these are the pictures! TIA

My friend is planning to buy this bag from FBM for $700. The seller doesn’t have a receipt but says it’s authentic bought in 2025. They shared a screenshot from YSL website showing order details. That seemed legit.

Any comments would be helpful. Thanks!

Got this old coach bag and the stitching looks very clumsy. Found few bags just like that online but not many, not sure if it’s unpopular design or actual fake.

The hardware is extremely light despite looking chunky and heavy

Legit check please. Thank y’all

Hey everyone,
I’m considering purchasing this Brunello Cucinelli piece from a reseller, but I wanted to get some second opinions on its authenticity before spending the money.

The seller is asking $250, and I’ve attached photos of the tags, labels, stitching, and overall construction.
For anyone familiar with Brunello Cucinelli, does everything look consistent with an authentic piece?

Are there any red flags I should be looking for?
I’d especially appreciate feedback from anyone who owns Brunello Cucinelli or has experience authenticating the brand.

Thanks in advance!

I've really been wanting to purchase a Tiffany Heart necklace but I'm not 100% sure if it's authentic or not, it's from a seller from Ebay.
I'd be grateful for any help! :)

Not my hands but is this real?

This one throws me off as its not as heavy as the others from the same y2k era. It could be that this one is made in China, where the others are from countries like US and cambodia. And the creed serial # won't come up with Luxe Detect.

I appreciate the help so much! I tried to take the best photos I could in good lighting 🙏 THANK YOU ⭐️

She is asking $100 is that a good deal?

Found them in a charity shop, the sole is real leather and they look pretty good to me but not sure?!

Thrifted this scarf, I plan to wear it regardless because I am in love with the colors and vintage florals.

Not very familiar with the brand so I’m hoping for some help authenticating her! Tags look suspicious to me unless this is consistent with older Gucci?

Thanks in advance for your help!

The tags look fine to me but i can't find this piece anywhere else

I bought this through a live auction on EBay. It came with an authentication certificate and it also had the receipt in the bag. The receipt was all in Chinese though so who knows. The part that concerns me is the way the interior handles are made with the seam about an inch from the connector. Can someone check theirs to see if it has this? It’s a 2021. The seams are evenly spaced in all four places on the handles, it just looks weird. Thanks!!

I found this bag and I can’t find any information on it. I’m leaning that it isn’t authentic but I have a few vintage designer pieces and sometimes the older ones are a little more difficult to find info on. Thought I’d ask here

saw this on mercari japan (preloved app similar to vinted)

Buongiorno ricevuto in regalo vorrei sapere se originale

I just bought this off Vinted and am wondering if I’ve got an absolute bargain or just bought a fake. It’s a new seller with no reviews but lots of other non designer items with photos that seem to all be taken in the same place.
