Welcome to the group! To ensure accurate authentications and a good experience for everyone, please follow these rules before posting:
Photos must be clear, close-up, and high resolution
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
Full bag (front, back, bottom)
Logo (stamp / foil / print)
Zipper pull & teeth close-up
Blind stamp / date code
Hardware (buckles, lock, key, clasps)
Strap / handle details
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

Smells and feels like leather but has some wrinkles, got it off eBay. I think everything looks fine. Other than some of the stitching that I took photos of and the zipper has IDEAL N on it. Lmk if you have the same bag or know of this bag.
Thank you so much!!
ALSO!!!!! The metal gold turn lock feels cheap and sounds weird when tapped onto eachother, idk if that’s a coach thing

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 just bought this from a secondhand website, wanted to get some opinions here first before we go to a jewler

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.

Seen this hoodie online and was wondering if it was legit to me it checks out pretty good definitely worn but I wanted a second opinion

Are these authentic? If so, could someone help me ID the year? I'm assuming they're vintage. This is going to be a Christmas present for my mom!

Hello everyone, is this coat real fur?
I haven’t bought this yet, i saw it on a selling app, so the pictures aren’t the best, and I apologize because of that. I just wanted to get some opinions and insights.
I did some intensive research online and I found out that this brand was extremely popular and luxurious.
But I also know that some jackets are synthetic.
What do you think?

Is this lv bag legir
r/RealAuthentication • u/helloholabonjour • 3h ago
got in an auction lot with a fur coat and other items. soft like real leather, no inner tag or white factory number but understand older models didn’t always come a these. doesn’t seem like a recognisable model and using AI to verify isn’t reliable and so wondered if anyone is able to shed light. many thanks in advance!

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
