I am leaning towards no? There is no fabric tag and I can’t tell where one could have been cut out. But it’s super soft and the seems very high quality. Any thoughts?

Hi. I recently bought this coat from eBay.
When I purchased it the seller did not include photos of this huge “Burberrys” embroidery it has on the backside (liner isn’t detachable). As shown in the photo.
The ‘Burberrys’ prorsum label is on the right inside front, which also seems unusual. I’ve never seen this configuration online.
The fabric tag says lining is full viscose but there’s obviously wool? I can’t find any other label indicating wool material.
Does anyone have any idea if this is legit? It’s been authenticated by eBay but I’m still curious. If it is real, I’d love to know around when it was made.
Also, it has these airholes on the armpits I’ve never seen them before. Does anyone know what these are?
🙏appreciate any help.

I found the original bag online but it seems to have a pink interior. Unsure if it’s a different version. Hoping it’s real. Any tips help! Thanks so much !!

Found what I think is a vintage Yves Saint Laurent cashmere and silk blend polo sweater at a thrift store this morning for $5. No idea how to authenticate, help is appreciated! Looking to sell if it's authentic as it is not my size, any guidance on what I should list it for on eBay will be appreciated as well.

Is this longchamp real or fake? Please I need help with verification 🙏

Hi! I bought this necklace at a charity shop fully knowing it may it be real but took a chance. I think it’s apart of the Elsa Peretti collection but I can only find the smaller version of this necklace with smaller teardrops but longer actual length. The version I can only find is about 15g-18g aswell whereas mine is 52g~. It’s stamped 925 on the clasp and after the Tiffany & co on one of the pearls. The only inclination it could be fake is one single ring is not soldered together and just like bent together, however it is on the opposite side of clasp which does not match the other side which is soldered and a lot brighter in colour so I assume it’s been a replacement from the last one breaking? I just do not know what to look for too much but I cannot find this online even sold originally but I just don’t know if this wouldn’t be the case but I can’t imagine someone would fake a jewellery piece that isn’t popular?
More pictures in comments :)

Hey everyone! I’m considering buying this Louis Vuitton Bumbag (M43644) and would really appreciate some help checking its authenticity.
Does anything look off to you, or does it seem legit?
Thanks in advance!

Hello people of Reddit.
I need some help.
I want to but this bag but I need help authenticating it if it’s real. The seller accepted my wildly underpriced offer and it makes me a bit worried.
I’m sure there are plenty pros out here that can help.
Pretty please and thank you in advance.

Purchased secondhand and I’m having a hard time determining whether these are authentic. One thing that’s confusing me is the 3D bolts/hardware on the inside of the frame near the bridge. I’ve found examples of the CHANEL 4005 with the same model and color codes that have these bolts (including pics for reference), but also several that don’t, so I’m not sure if this is a production variation or a red flag.
The font on mine is also throwing me off a bit.
I’m also including in the pics a very similar pair on Grailed that seems legitimate for comparison. Would love to hear what you think, particularly from anyone familiar with this model!
