I think I've seen somewhere they can be anywhere from 10-12#'s but I can't be 100% sure what the range is. All of these are my bags or were my bags with the exception of the one that has 000926 (middle picture on the left) My bags have all been purchased at a Gucci boutique or Saks. The 926 was one I borrowed from Bag Borrow or Steal which I believe to be real when I compared it to my friends authentic bag and one in the Sak's boutique

This shoulder bag is approximately 11 inches long by 9 inches high. In like new condition. I picked this up at an estate sale so I'm not sure if it's genuine, but it has the Gucci stamp on all the metal pieces on the straps, on the metal plate in front, on the tab inside (which also has a five-digit number underneath), and it is all over the inside lining. Is this authentic? It's black with black leather

Thanks so so much for this. I bought a Pelham as well and the first thing I noticed was a break in the hardware. Luckily I was able to send it back.

Sorry.. I removed my link to that photo. I kept thinking about it and I wasn't comfortable that it didn't have my watermark on it. I have another one like it with my watermark under the Share Your Authenticity Knowledge thread.

Hope this helps!

Im dying for another Gucci wallet... is it safe to say that fake Gucci wallets have spaces or dots between the numbers while real ones have no spaces?

Thanks

I'm new to this site and a new Gucci bag whore. I've purchased some fakes and have returned them immidiately. My survivor guide: If you suspect it's a fake, RETURN; thoroughly inspect the quality and the hardward (loose thread, peeling paint on the sides of leather or on the hardware); question the authenticity of bags on questionable sites more than 50% off the retail price; and ALWAYS review the return policy.

P.S. I got a knock-off from Styledrops.com. I got a bag with no authenticity card and when I asked for one, the told me "unfortunately Gucci handbags don't have a proper authenticity card but a small "controllato" card you should have found insite the bag.
Ypu can double check this information with any official Gucci store.
Best regards."

is it true that the serial numbers are all in the same font?
i.e to say..the digit 4 will have th vertical line at the right end?

Hello. I have always thought that Gucci font is round but I bought 2 bags from luxury-shops.com (they sell authentic designers goods) and I saw that one bag (black one) has a round GG and the second one has a thin one. Why it is like that? Does it depend on factory?
