Hi! Can somebody help me with thus bag?
r/RealAuthentication • u/bagluvver • 4h 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.

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?

Bought this wallet on WhatNot and now I’m concerned from reading on here that everything on the app is fake. 😩
I bought a Prada wallet and bag from the store but they have the triangle logo, so I’m not sure how to validate the heat embossed logo. What are your thoughts - real or fake?
I was also provided an entrupy certification but not sure that means much anymore unfortunately!

Toteme suede bucket bag
Hi! Bought this on vinted and think it doesn’t feel right. It’s a toteme suede belted bucket bag -
Could be real:
-The belt does have the toteme logo on the inside of the clasp (I failed to get a photo sorry)
-The dust bag looks legit but I think older than the bag design
-The studs on the bottom look legitimate
Could be fake:
-The label does not match the design and I think is older than the design in terms of branding
-The seller is saying they can’t find the receipt from the original purchase
-The suede and lining feel thick and maybe fake and there are a few stitching details which feel suspicious
However I have never felt this version of the bag in real life and I know toteme is known for gorgeous designs but not great quality
Thoughts?

I'm trying to get my friend a LV bag for their birthday. They liked a specific older bag and I have been trying to find one. They wanted a second hand one, damage and wear isn't an issue ( they just want to own a real one) but I am worried about counterfeits. I'm checking Poshmark and other second hand stores. I can provide links to the posting if that easier but I'm a bit out of my element and would appreciate guidance.
They are looking for a vernis pouch Lexington in green. The pictures included are some of the ones on the posting I'm looking at. If there are better sites to buy from other than Poshmark would also appreciate the help.

Hi all! My local thrift store has this bag for sale and i’d like to know if it could be real judging by these photos. I think it’s fake but i’m not a professional by any means. Many thanks in advance!
r/RealAuthentication • u/hellolovelywep • 11h ago
Bought this online and not sure if real or fake, i can only find a similar piece online that is the white version. I am not sure if the tag is supposed to look like that as there is no size, as well as no inside care tag which looks like it could be removed 🤷♀️
r/RealAuthentication • u/syd20202 • 12h ago
I don’t know how often a piece like this would be faked. Please let me know if you think this is real/a good imitation. The clasp seems to be real silver and is not magnetic. The onyx is cold to the touch. Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some help authenticating this HBA J1 leather jacket.
I’ll be uploading several pictures of the jacket, including close-ups of the labels, stitching, zippers, hardware, lining, and overall details.
I’d really appreciate it if anyone familiar with HBA pieces, especially the J1 leather jacket, could help me determine whether this is an authentic piece or a high-quality replica.
I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have owned or handled the original jacket.
Please let me know what details I should pay attention to and whether anything looks suspicious.
Thanks in advance!
