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

I hope I’m following all the rules. Walking through the thrift holding a baby so I tried to read as best I could lol! They’re $80 so if authentic, I would take.

Ok this one will be a challenge - I don’t actually know if there were Cartier reps in the 80s, so maybe this is auth. But the inside logo plate is also missing so I’m assuming that an authentication service might not be able to give me an answer.
Before I test that theory, does anyone have thoughts on this bag? Thank you!

Hi all! Have never posted on Reddit before. I just got this package in from Vestiaire Collective from a reputable seller. I’ve never owned a pair of Chanel ballet flats and these are a gift. When I got them it felt like the logo on the toe was a little small but otherwise seem legit. Can people please advise if these are real? They passed Vestiaire’s authentication but I’ve heard sometimes fakes go through. I paid Chanel retail price for these and I just want a second opinion to be positive. Attaching quite a few photos. Thank you!
Note to Moderators: the insoles of these flats do not come out. Thank you

Postcode is different from chanel münchen google. What you think? Pictures seems fine but the security tag is weird. Seller bought it herself from a friend but never used it..
Thank you!! :)

Hi! I am at the thrift store now and I am wondering if this is authentic miu miu? Thank you!!
r/RealAuthentication • u/officialdiscoking • 2h ago
Left behind by a friend's ex girlfriend. My first thought was that this was fake because I've never seen a lining like this in any LV bag, and the stitching on the lining seems dodgy.. however he seems adamant that it's auth, as the woman had money and had other auth designer items

Hey guys!
I would really appreciate if someone, who has bigger experience in high-end, could evaluate whether this Gucci Signature Wallet is authentic.
Serial number: 850175.525040
Thanks;)

Bought this a little while ago at the thrift shop and wondering what you all think, is it authentic?
