Gucci Authenticity Tips

Kiss Me Deadly · Jun 29th, 2007, 12:31 PM

Does anyone know any specifics about serial numbers on Gucci wallets? I know fakes can have serial numbers too, how do I know which one is fake or real?

KMD here are some pics to help you out. This pics that I have posted here are of an authentic purse. (I would post more but my old purses are not with me anymore). Sorry if the pic of the serial is seems slightly distorted, it was hard to photograph.

The serial font should be the same. As for the sequence of numbers I am not sure what they are specifically. I am guessing it would be the same as the bags where some of the numbers indicate the style and season etc.

Here are photos of fake serials which I photographed off a friend who got cheated. You can tell that the font is very different. The 1st pic is of the purse, the 2nd of the Gucci stamp and the last is of the key wallet. Note the spacing between characters as well, for both the "Gucci - made in italy" and serial stampings.

Hope this helps!

Kavnadoo that's a beautiful color on that wallet, what year was that? Thanks for the pics of the fake stamped on numbers, helpful!

Actually I have a question that I might as well ask. I bought a bag off of eBay a few weeks ago because they no longer had it in stores/online and it was a MUST HAVE (at the time lol). When I got it it looked good at first, but then after analyzing it I was doubtful. Smelled funny, leather was really soft and wrinkly (like it had been used a lot even though seller listed it as "excellent, used one month"). Also, the hardware seems like plastic..I have another britt with the same hardware and when I tap them with my nails they sound different. The real one also is a lot colder to the touch than the possible-fake. I posted pics on here a while ago but everyone said it looked fine. The seller said she would send me the receipt but she hasn't. Great feedback, pictures fooled me and the people on this thread. A second opinion? Should I return it?

**pics are hers. Here's a link to auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...2814&rd=1&rd=1

Repost your question under "Authenticate this Gucci", but to me, this handbag looks fine, I would keep it, just my opinion.

Kneehighz realised that she posted in the wrong thread. You probably missed it, it's at the bottom of her post.

shawnax · Jul 11th, 2007, 07:28 PM

fake? real? the seller is selling this for relatively cheap on craigslist...

princessaj0603 · Jul 12th, 2007, 04:09 PM

SHAWNAX- I will admit that I am not the best with Gucci replicas...BUT doesn't the fabric have continuity. As in, the labels (the G's) do not get cut off anywhere at the seams and if they do they continue right on where they left off? I may be just thinking of Louis Vuitton but I know that is true with Chanel and I believe Gucci as well... but someone may prove me wrong!
