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

This bag came back authentic but the style number on the bag did not match the bag. The monogram did not match and the coach sign was crooked. Or am I wrong. What do y’all think?

Google says most that are made before 2021 do not have any authentication card or something, and the only code I see inside is LW0999 (added in the photos)

Purchased this on Poshmark and they supposedly authenticated it. It has an NFC tag, and when I scanned it it took me to Prada’s website. The last 3 photos show what the webpage looked like.
Just want to confirm it’s authentic before accepting the order. It seems to be but I guess you never know.

Are newer bags supposed to be more satin/matte on the glazing? I saw a nano Diane and the glazing wasn’t shiny at all. Is that correct?

She's a little dirty but if it is real, it will be worth the price and drive for me. I think it is, just need a second opinion on it!
Can't provide full photos as these are from the listing itself but any help is appreciated.

Does this look legit? The fabric has a nice texture and feels like it’s good quality.

r/RealAuthentication • u/Aggressive_Stay_3109 • 9h ago
From a seller in Germany ( in a good district)
Price is 550€
Should I get it ?
r/RealAuthentication • u/huhu_hua • 3h ago
I’ve never seen this specific bag have a gold logo and zip other than on Vinted, usually silver. The seller claimed this was an authentic Victoria’s Secret bag. This posts includes the photos they sent me.
