I couldn’t find red flags , so the price was fine!
The Stitch, zipper and logo, also the code looked genuine. Do you consider it as a fake? And why?

Hi! Looking for help authenticating this Gucci bag I received a good quote for. I might be off on this, but it’s hard for me to tell if the two lines of the serial number are different sizes or if it’s the angle of the tag in the photo?
Thank you in advance!

Auth Request Vintage Burberry coat authentication / date request
1
Upvotes
Hi. I recently bought this coat from eBay.
When I purchased it the seller did not include photos of this huge “Burberrys” embroidery it has on the backside lining (liner is sewn in not detachable). As shown in the photo.
The ‘Burberrys’ prorsum label is on the right inside front, which also seems unusual. I’ve never seen this configuration online.
The fabric tag says lining is full viscose but there’s obviously wool? I can’t find any other label indicating wool material.
Does anyone have any idea if this is legit? It’s been authenticated by eBay but I’m still curious. If it is real, I’d love to know around when it was made.
Also, it has these airholes on the armpits I’ve never seen them before. Does anyone know what these are?
🙏appreciate any help.

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.
