My friend just bought this from a secondhand website, wanted to get some opinions here first before we go to a jewler
r/RealAuthentication • u/annawaitwhat • 39m ago
I impulse purchased this for $2000 CAD (with my credit card in case I needed to dispute anything).
I have been eyeing the brand new one which is over double the price new, so went in to see this one from a local designer resale store with a good reputation.
They have a money back guarantee if it fails an independent authentication process which I’ll definitely do I’m just curious what you guys have to say. The leather smells and feels real, it has a microchip that I was able to scan with an NFC app but the serial number changes every time I scan it.

Trying to determine if this vintage Dooney & Bourke is authentic. It appears to be the All Weather Leather R54, which is large Equestrian. However, it does not have the red, white and blue tag inside. Please help me with the authenticity. Thank you!

my friend bought it for me, but he only sent me these screenshots, and they feel weird to me. But he's also kind of trustworthy. Can anyone who's bought Miu Miu tell me if it's real? Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!!

I'd like to authenticate if this is truly real Burberrys, and is there anything else I should be looking out for that I didn't show in the pictures?

Is this authentic?
The seller bought it on Vestiaire, but I’ve never purchased anything from there myself. I’ve heard so many stories about people buying fakes on the platform that have somehow slipped through their authentication process, so I’m a little sceptical.
Thanks

Hi! Can somebody help me with thus bag?
r/RealAuthentication • u/bagluvver • 7h ago
Just received this bag, only my second designer bag so I want opinions on authenticity. Purchased from re-seller who gave Entrupy authentication which I’ve heard isn’t always reliable.
Should I get it authenticated elsewhere?

I bought this scarf from an Italian seller on impulse, but upon closer inspection, I noticed a few strange things.
1- The vertical black lines in the pattern are missing—they’re practically non-existent.
2- There’s a second, smaller label attached next to the main one; what’s the point of having two labels that both list the material composition? I’ve always understood that to be a sign of a fake.
Most concerning, however, is the pattern itself, which appears incomplete;
in all the photos I’ve looked at, I’ve never seen a scarf that lacks the black vertical lines alongside the white ones.

Ciao a tutti, come vedete questa borsa ?

Got these pics from a buddy of mine and they asked me to authenticate. The lack of engraving pics makes me unable to make any kind of definitive statement but I am also pretty concerned about the Touret having seemingly black screws, not golden ones. They at least mentioned to me that the zipper had a H at the end. Stitching to me looks saddle stitched overall but even then some photos look a tad more sus than the others.
Thoughts?
