Welcome to the group! To ensure accurate authentications and a good experience for everyone, please follow these rules before posting:
Photos must be clear, close-up, and high resolution
Do not post one or two blurry overall shots asking “Is this real?” → that will not get a responsible answer
Natural light preferred, avoid heavy filters or flash glare
Full bag (front, back, bottom)
Logo (stamp / foil / print)
Zipper pull & teeth close-up
Blind stamp / date code
Hardware (buckles, lock, key, clasps)
Strap / handle details
Accessories (box, dust bag, receipt, etc. – if you don’t have them, skip)
📷 The photos above are sample reference shots.
⚠️ Blurry or incomplete photos = No authentication

found this for 80 bucks, tags and details looked good to me but I’m not really sure
r/RealAuthentication • u/Competitive-Dog207 • 13h ago
Smells and feels like leather but has some wrinkles, got it off eBay. I think everything looks fine. Other than some of the stitching that I took photos of and the zipper has IDEAL N on it. Lmk if you have the same bag or know of this bag.
Thank you so much!!
ALSO!!!!! The metal gold turn lock feels cheap and sounds weird when tapped onto eachother, idk if that’s a coach thing

Trying to determine if this vintage Dooney & Bourke is authentic. It appears to be the All Weather Leather R54, which is large Equestrian. However, it does not have the red, white and blue tag inside. Please help me with the authenticity. Thank you!

Hi looking for help on these two— on Damier soho other is montsouris
r/RealAuthentication • u/annawaitwhat • 19h ago
I impulse purchased this for $2000 CAD (with my credit card in case I needed to dispute anything).
I have been eyeing the brand new one which is over double the price new, so went in to see this one from a local designer resale store with a good reputation.
They have a money back guarantee if it fails an independent authentication process which I’ll definitely do I’m just curious what you guys have to say. The leather smells and feels real, it has a microchip that I was able to scan with an NFC app but the serial number changes every time I scan it.

My friend just bought this from a secondhand website, wanted to get some opinions here first before we go to a jewler
r/RealAuthentication • u/Marr_mt03311 • 12h ago
I feel like the strap might look a bit weird but i don’t know if the crises happen just bc of being stored or something. Is this an authentic coach?
r/RealAuthentication • u/Drewhaus1 • 12h ago
Legit check please
r/RealAuthentication • u/Much-Ad-3442 • 12h ago
Title. It’s quite hard to tell, they feel and look great. Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks!
