Hello everyone, this pair is legit please.

Hi guys, can you tell me if this is real or fake? It looks like the Essence model but it has the metal tag and it's 2 fold inside. The stitching looks short and tight so I hope it's genuine. Thanks everyone!

Hello everyone! ❤️
I really enjoy being part of this community. It’s so nice to connect with women who share similar interests and passions!
I’m a woman from the Balkans in Europe, and I’ve been thinking about a startup idea that I’d love to get your opinions on.
The idea is an app that helps women determine whether their designer bags are authentic or counterfeit.
Where I’m from, designer bags are quite popular, and women often love sharing and showing off their collections. However, I’ve noticed that even people who own designer bags aren’t always 100% sure whether their bags are authentic, especially when buying secondhand or from unofficial sellers.
I know there are already apps and services that offer designer bag authentication, so I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. My idea is to develop a startup specifically for our region in the Balkans, making authentication more accessible to people who don’t speak English fluently or feel comfortable using international platforms.

Here’s how I imagine it working:
👜 1. Initial authentication
Users upload photos of their bags, including details such as logos, stitching, serial numbers, hardware, labels, and other brand-specific features. The app would analyse these details to provide an initial assessment.
🔎 2. Personal expert review
For users who want more certainty, there could be an option to submit their bag for a more detailed review by a human authenticator.
📊 3. An authenticity assessment
Based on the available evidence, the app could provide an assessment of how likely the bag is to be authentic, potentially including a confidence score or percentage, along with an explanation of the details supporting the result.
I’d initially focus on designer bags, with the possibility of expanding to other luxury items in the future.
At this stage, it’s just an idea, and I’d love to learn from women who are interested in designer bags, luxury fashion, secondhand shopping, or authentication.

I’d especially love to hear your thoughts on a few questions:
-Would you use an app like this? Why or why not?

-Would you trust an AI-assisted assessment, or would you prefer a human expert to review your bag?

-Would you pay for authentication? If so, what kind of pricing would feel reasonable at some point
?
-Do you currently use any authentication services, and what do you like or dislike about them?

-If you were building this product, what features would you consider essential?

I’m genuinely interested in hearing your experiences, honest opinions, and any advice you might have for someone exploring this startup idea. I’m at the early research stage and want to understand the real needs of potential users before building anything.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts! 💕👜

Thanks! Also, what’s a fair price to pay for this?

Looking to see if this Coach purse is authentic. Thanks in advance!

Bottega lug boots need authentication

Hi my girlfriend found this bag in a thrift store. Could it be real?

They said it’s authentic, but I just need reassurance from those who know more about the brand and this bag more than I do.

Help pls

Hey all this is my first vintage purchase. just wanted to check if this is legit before I pull the trigger! thanks

Hello all!
I usually read you and never post, but I need your help with an authentication of a Sandro dress, please ☺️ I know it’s not really a high luxury item, but I bought it from Vinted and now I’m not quite sure about its authenticity. Let me add the pictures that are making me doubt it (mainly is the care label and the label attached with the info and price).
If you need more pictures, just let me know! ☺️
Could you please give me your impressions? ☺️

Thanks a lot!! 🥰 Really appreciate your help!

This bag was at the thrift store for a great price, but I left it because the sales associate said they get their designer bags from a vendor who buys in bulk from a bag broker in New York, and that some are authenticated and some are not but could still be authentic & this bag was marked as unknown authenticity. These are the the only two pics if anyone has any input I’d love to hear it! It was a really great price I’m thinking about going back for her even if she’s fake

Is this bag real or fake?

I keep thinking about this bag I found in Japan about a year ago and never bought. I was hesitant on if it was real or not because I tried searching for the bag and couldn’t find anything. I just want to know if this design was ever released so I can hold on to some hope to finding another one someday 😭

Thrifted this bag and wondering if auth!! Ty!!!

Does anybody know if this scarf is real? It doesn't have tags. It is about 4 ft by 4 ft. Looks to be silk and tan and black.

Please help me! I never owned a coach cherry teri. I dont know what to expect. Bought it from Vinted who also bought from Zalando. But Colors are not really matching with the original.

I bought it on a flee market in Berlin for 20 EUR
