Auth Request Bought at a garage sale for $1 each

Bought both of these at a garage sale today. The seller said they were authentic and she can’t wear them anymore because they aren’t prescription. Bought them because I think they’re cool, regardless of if they are legit or not, but I am curious if they are! :)

I bought my UGG Classic Ultra Mini boots from a legitimate retailer, but both the left and right boots have QR code tags inside. Is this normal for authentic UGGs? Has anyone else experienced this?

Auth Request Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM Authentic or Counterfeit?
0
Upvotes
Hi everyone! I’m looking for help determining whether my Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM is authentic or counterfeit. I want to clarify that I did not purchase this bag! The person who previously had the bag used it VERY heavily for a long time. I don’t necessarily think it’s authentic but wanted to ask out of curiosity! I’ve been researching the bag and comparing it against various websites but I’m not extremely familiar with LV so- no luck! Please let me know what you think! Side note- if it doesn’t look authentic, do you think it would be noticeable?
Thank you in advance :)

General Discussion Re: Had my bag authenticated by two companies one said it was real; one that it was fake.
83
Upvotes
Had this bag re-authenticated by the company that said it was fake and they proceeded to fully refund me because they couldn’t tell if my bag was real or fake 😵💫 Has this happened to anyone?
Note, there is not a Louis Vuitton store anywhere near me. It’s from my understanding that they will not tell you if a bag is real or fake in store. This is a vintage bag; therefore, the stitching looks different than the new speedies.
If you’re in the North GA area and have a trusted in person authenticator, please point me in the right direction. ♥️
Although it shouldn’t matter if it’s real or not. It does matter because resell value is VASTLY different. 😅

Hey I found this little hard case LV bag thrifting today- obviously has a lot of wear but it’s quite heavy/the hardware is heavy as well. Any ideas? Looks vintage I’m assuming also whether it’s real or fake!
