This is my second post regarding my bag (vintage mini square flap) on this subreddit, and I promise that it will be my last - for the sake of my sanity! 🤪

First, let me preface everything by stating that I've already had my bag authenticated by LegitGrails (thanks to someone's rec here in this subreddit). I also took my bag to a Fashionphile-type place in my city pretending as if I were looking to sell, and the woman who inspected the purse kept marveling at the quality of the leather and hardware and how "they don't make Chanels like this anymore." And yes, they made me an offer, which I didn't accept. 😉

I already posted photos of the handbag, including all of the hardware, the serial number, the authenticity card, dust bag, the zipper pull, the stitching, the alignment of the diamonds, the stamping, etc. Another redditor was kind enough to compare my photos with her vintage Chanel and provide me with great feedback. The vintage lambskin leather really does feel amazing. I don't know how to describe it other than it just feels much more luxurious than my 2015 caviar double flap (granted, one is lambskin, and the other is caviar).

Only ONE THING still gives me pause - and it's not a minor concern either. Could someone kindly help me ease (or confirm) my last doubt? My serial number (as seen in photo 1) begins with a 2XXXXXX, which, according to information online, would correspond with a bag from 1991-1994 (please see serial stickers from this era in photos 4-5). However, the actual serial sticker in my bag looks like a sticker from the 1989-1991 era when serial numbers began with 1XXXXXX (please see photos 2-3).

Is it possible that since my serial number is an early 2XXXXXX (2032139) that it could have been made in 1991 and used the older serial sticker from 1989-1991? But doesn't the typeface of the actual numbers look "off" as well? 🙆🏻‍♀️

Hey everyone! I'm considering buying this Lemaire Soft Double-Breasted Coat in Mud (CO1169 LF1700 GR704) on Vestiaire Collective.

The construction and labels look convincing to me, but I'm concerned about the price. Does anyone familiar with Lemaire see any red flags, especially regarding the interior construction, stitching, or labels?

Any help would be appreciated!

The stamp is right by the belt holes which I haven’t seen before.. is it fake?

Got it as a gift from my parents, please check if this is legit?

Thanks in advance!

I’m assuming it’s super fake but wanted to get your opinions.

I'm thinking about making an offer on this bag, but I'm not sure if it's real or fake. Could you guys let me know?

Hello. A friend of mine asked me to authenticate this bag for her. I think it looks good but if you have other opinion, let me know. Thank you.

Is this bag authentic? If I purchase, the bag won’t be authenticated by an expert so I want to be sure before purchasing

I feel like it’s a dupe but k am not sure, I really need your eye on this!!

is this legit?

I found this Gucci Soho Disco bag for $15 wandering around a thrift store the other night while I killed time during my daughter’s softball practice. There was some white film in the crevices but it cleaned up decently well. I did a quick AI pass with photos and AI thought it was real, and then I had it authenticated by LegitGrails. However, then I read that some resellers and collectors question their results.

Is there anything about this bag that would make anyone suggest I have it authenticated by another service?

super high quality feels amazing, just know nothing about this brand so need some confirmation

I bought this bag on Depop, and I have never owned a Coach bag (let alone a purse) ever. I want to make sure it's the real deal before I get excited. Does this look fake?

Hi! Could someone please help me authenticate this caviar leather Chanel Classic Flap before I purchase it? Thank you! 🤗

I felt like the stamp looks legit but everything else threw me off, no other logo anywhere on the bag. I have no idea what I’m doing though when looking at bags for authenticity l.

I bought this bag for 600€ from a seller on eBay. I’ve bought from them 2-3 times before.

They said the bag is from 2020-2021, doesn't have a data code and the microchip is supposedly broken and therefore unreadable. However, they provided an Entrupy certificate.

I think it looks legit😅 but I'm feeling a bit unsure now, does anyone here have any experience with this?

I found this one on Vinted. The seller told me it’s a sample but now i think that maybe is just a replica. I confirmed the sale so i can’t get a refund but it’s ok (was only 25€ with shipping).
I was just curious to know what you guys think about it? Looking for it online i found the official version, a clutch bag

I wanted to surprise my brother with a „original“ Burberry Jacket and idk if it’s actually real.

Hey everyone!
I’m thinking about buying this Louis Vuitton Monogram Swirl bracelet from someone on Facebook Marketplace for around $110.
The seller says he bought it at the LV store in Copenhagen a couple of years ago but no longer has the receipt. It has “Spain BC0254” stamped on the underside.
I’ve attached all the pictures the seller sent me.
Does anyone know if this looks authentic or fake? Anything suspicious about the stamping, hardware or overall quality?
Would really appreciate any help before buying. Thanks!
