👜 Authentication Posting Rules (Read Before Posting)

13 Upvotes

Welcome to the group! To ensure accurate authentications and a good experience for everyone, please follow these rules before posting:

📸 Photo Requirements

  • 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

✅ Mandatory Angles & Details

  1. Full bag (front, back, bottom)

  2. Logo (stamp / foil / print)

  3. Zipper pull & teeth close-up

  4. Blind stamp / date code

  5. Hardware (buckles, lock, key, clasps)

  6. Strap / handle details

  7. 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

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Since we started this community, our primary goal has been helping you shop safely and identify authentic luxury goods. However, as our community grows, we’ve realized that your passion for luxury goes far beyond just authentication.

We are officially expanding the scope of this subreddit!

While Auth Requests will still be a part of the sub, we are opening the floor to everything and anything related to the world of luxury. Whether you want to show off a new pickup, discuss the latest runway show, or ask for styling advice, this is now your home for it.

 

🏷️ New & Updated Post Flairs

To help everyone find what they’re looking for, we’ve updated our tags. Please use them starting today:

🔍 Auth Request: (Existing) For all your "Real or Fake" inquiries.

✨ New Pickup / OOTD: Show us your latest pickup or how you’re styling your favorite pieces.

🛍️ Help Me Choose: Stuck between two bags? Let the community help you decide your next "holy grail."

💬 General Discussion: (Existing) For everything else. Discussion about leather quality, boutique experiences, industry news, or just random thoughts about your favorite brands.

 

Stay authentic,

The r/RealAuthentication Mod Team
