Could anyone please help? I have come across this beautiful very large leather hobo handbag which has the Valentino plaque but cannot find any info on it. It is very well made soft, supple leather(still has leather smell!), braided leather handles with the ends left to dangle, inside is fully lined with two slip pockets on one side and zippered pocket within a second larger zippered pocket with Valentino Garavani stamped in the leather. There are no tags or cert numbers on inside which I understand that older models did not have. If anyone has any info on this it would be much appreciated!!

Lace clutch: authentic, good price, but often these evening display models from perfect essence (seller) have imperfections. You can return it though.
Black leather flowers bag: authentic. Good price. I own it in brown-flowers fragile can be steamed to regain their shape if silk gets crushed.
Coral rockstud clutch: not sure nothing obvious off, but this seller from Bucharest keeps posting these in colors I have not seen in boutiques. This model is easier to fake. The pictures of the red label and zipper aren't close up & no serial # pic-I would ask for those.
Good luck!
Good luck!
I sell things on ebay- I get my inventory from retail stores with some sort of exceptional sale, or thrift stores. A lot of what I get from thrift stores has been high quality stuff! I don't know if it's like that everywhere but I live in CT and certain wealthy areas turn out some really cool stuff.
I don't like to deal with high end designers because there is so much risk! I care so much about what I do that I would hate to send someone something I thought was real and have them upset that it is not. But sometimes I just can't resist buying something with hopes of it being real because the quality is just too good!
Which leads me to this Valentino bag, I got it at a thrift store- brand new with the tag in the inside pocket. I honestly have no idea. It it so supple, so well made, and has a tag! The hardware is sturdy, the magnet is strong and has a smooth feeling to it. The interior is smooth (the flash makes it look sparkly, but its just a solid colored satin) I have no idea.
My only potential red flags:
The flowers petals being 'wilted'. I seem to consider high-end designers indestructible in their construction, however, I read somewhere that this happens and may be corrected with a steamer. So I am not that concerned.
The feet of the purse. (those little metal nubs on the bottom, not sure what they are called) Although they are engraved with a Valentino "v", there are only four (one in each corner) and I've seen pictures of similar bags with a fifth in the middle. Whether that was fake or mine is, I don't know. I've also seen similar bags with this and all other hardware gold, not this dark gray metal color.
The tag- this is my only real concern. Would Valentino put their logo on the inside, to unnecessarily be seen again? And then, would it be slightly cut off?
If you guys can help I'd really appreciate it! I think this bag is stunning so if it is fake I'll just wear it myself! But if it is real, I am a college student and could definitely pay off some bills
I just took some pics with my cellphone, but if you'd like better ones I can take them once my camera battery is charged. I tried to show the stitching, the zipper pull, and I've read that the bottom of the zipper pull is important to see (mine is blank). I can't find a serial number but if anyone knows where it should be I can look again. Thanks so much!!
