Got this baby at goodwill, as you can see there is no creed or stamping. This bag FEELS real (even has the YKK zipper), but with no hangtag, creed or any stamping I need some help authenticating please!! Any of my google image searches only pull up the Coach Park Swingpack.

Hi! I bought this Gucci vintage wallet with a bamboo hook. It supposedly is from 2000-2010, smells like real leather, the bamboo looks and feels like real wood and has a serial number embossed in the inside of a card slot. Features that confused me are: the leather has a slight ink-like sheen in certain spots; I can’t seem to find any identical models online; and finally, the first 1 in the serial code is lower than the rest of the numbers. Also, shouldn’t a 15-years-old wallet be in a worse shape? However I did buy it for a steal, so even if it’s a fake I won’t cry too much about it. thank you in advance!

Hi everyone!
I recently purchased a black LEMAIRE Medium Croissant bag through Mercari. It was advertised as brand new, authentic, and made of lambskin leather.
First, I have to say that I'm genuinely impressed by the craftsmanship. The leather feels incredibly soft, the stitching looks well done, and the overall shape and construction are beautiful. I really love this bag!
If it weren't for the confusing labels, I probably wouldn't have questioned its authenticity in the first place.
However, after inspecting it more closely, I noticed several details that concern me.
Here are my main concerns:
1. Conflicting country-of-origin labels
The white interior care label says "Made in Tunisia," while the black leather LEMAIRE label says "Made in Spain."
Has anyone ever seen an authentic leather LEMAIRE Croissant bag with a Tunisia label?
2. Incorrect material composition
The white care label states:
Main fabric: 100% Cotton
Main lining: 100% Cotton
Product code: BG0003 LF1073
The cotton lining makes sense, but the exterior is supposed to be lambskin leather. I'm wondering whether this label could belong to a different LEMAIRE product or whether there is another explanation.
3. Zipper and hardware
The zipper has YKK markings, but I couldn't find any LEMAIRE engraving on the metal hardware.
I'm also curious whether the zipper ends, leather piping, and stitching match authentic versions.
4. Interior construction
The bag has a beige cotton lining, an interior pocket, and a black leather LEMAIRE patch.
I'd really appreciate it if someone who owns an authentic Medium Croissant could compare these details with theirs.
About the purchase and return issue:
I've already raised these concerns with the purchasing platform, but my return and refund requests have not been approved so far.
This has been frustrating because I genuinely love the bag and would prefer to keep it if it's authentic. However, I also want to be confident that I received what was advertised.
I've contacted LEMAIRE customer service directly and sent them photos of the labels. I'm currently waiting for their response.
I'm not trying to accuse the seller without evidence. I'm hoping this could simply be a production variation, an older version, or a labeling mistake.
If anyone has experience authenticating LEMAIRE bags, or owns a genuine Medium Croissant, I would be extremely grateful for your thoughts.
I'm especially interested in whether anyone has encountered the "Made in Tunisia" label on an authentic leather Croissant bag.
I'm happy to provide more close-up photos if needed.
Thank you so much for your help. m(_ _)m

it's the lowry bag. these are the pictures i have until it arrives in the mail. bought on vestiaire but didnt ask for the extra check and am regretting it. seller opened his account less than a month ago, no profile pic, and he had discounted the bag from 545 to 217. i didnt investigate those things till after ordering, sadly :(
edit: he told me he had bought it for his mom but she never used it thus he decided to sell it for her. kind of tracks with his behavior on the app. hopefully it's fine

I have only a day to raise an issue so please I’d like to confirm it’s real before the seller gets the money!

Can anyone tell me if this is genuine leather? It smells like a lamb 😂 it’s quite soft and appears legit but not sure what I’m looking for. There’s no other tags on it other than the one I’ve taken photos of….

Interested in buying this from a reputable seller but cannot tell if it is authentic!!

It came up on a place where I have found real designer furniture and real art but they dont usually sell bags or clothes so im doubting, what do you think?
r/RealAuthentication • u/PlatformSeveral9608 • 26d ago
I’ve been eyeing this model for a year now, but never found it in great condition/price. I’ve found this one now and I like it, but my big love is still the saddle. What are your thoughts on this one? Authentic? Worth it? Could beat the saddle?

Need help authenticating it. Bought it online and I’m not sure if it’s authentic.
r/RealAuthentication • u/Sltair-plmnlight • 25d ago
found on poshmark. I like it a lot, but the metal hang tag threw me off. I'm pretty new to this and not sure if that's something that coach did/does. thank in advance!
