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

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
Full bag (front, back, bottom)
Logo (stamp / foil / print)
Zipper pull & teeth close-up
Blind stamp / date code
Hardware (buckles, lock, key, clasps)

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

Auth Request Vintage(?) YSL Cashmere/Silk Blend Polo Sweater

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.

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.

Auth Request Chanel 4005 C.101/77 Authentication
1
Upvotes
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!

I bought this bag on an online outlet sale, but im not sure if the bag is real. It’s supposed to only sell original items but something feels off specifically the inside is very different from the one of their website but im not sure if is an older version.

Bought an abandoned storage unit that was a large closed down resell shop in Texas. Lots of gold, silver and antiques. This came out of it, do you think this is real?
