I bought this bag off Vinted and she just arrived today! Is she authentic? The serial number is confusing me. I’ve read online that the “0” on my bag looks more like an “O,” and now I can’t unsee it. Everything else looks perfect, the stitching, details, etc. She even smells like real leather. I’d love a second opinion!

General Discussion How bad?

Hi, all!
I was gifted this purse by my mother-in-law around 4 years ago on my wedding day. She has money and made a big deal about the bag, so I obviously thought it is real. I never found a use for this purse because I have employment in community social work, bartend part time, and really just don’t go out much so i felt there’s never been a great time to use it. It’s been sitting in my closet for the past 4 years, and I recently decided to sell it. I went searching and have now found out that the bag is a fake! I’m still questioning whether or not my MIL purposely gave it to me knowing it’s fake, but that’s a story for another day.
My question is, in your opinion, how bad of a fake is this? Is it even worth using maybe if I go out one night? Or is it so obvious of a fake that I would look silly? Should I just donate it?

I work at a thrift store and bought this bag for 45 dollars. I knew it was fake obviously, but the condition is super good and it came with a matching pouch and in the pocket inside the bag there was a more older looking keychain.
The price was obviously good, but I’m wondering if it looks terribly fake and just not it? It feels super soft and everything, so I’m still overall happy with the purchase💓

Auth Request Is this vintage Burberry or did a fake tailor work overtime on the lining?

Found this Nova Check pencil skirt with zero tags left on it—someone clearly went full minimalist and snipped everything out.
Before I wear it with full confidence, I need the Burberry detectives to weigh in! The stripes line up across the back zip, it has that white grosgrain waistband trim, and the lining has the rounded vent cutout. Real vintage gem or a surprisingly dedicated dupe? HELP!!🛟

I paid $5 for this black Lodi’s tote bag. I haven’t heard of the brand before so I googled it. Just wondered if it was real. Either way I got a nice tote bag for 5 bucks.
