Seller virginri4

Looks like this seller is trying again with what I believe is a counterfeit bag. Authenticators, Thank You So Much For All You Do!!!
That bag isn't authentic.

It looks like virginri4 attached a tag from a different bag to this one to try to fool buyers.

Will you authenticate this 9755 bag please? This just already sold, but I want to know if this is supposed to have a zipper as I like that feature. Thank you. ETA I searched the first part of the number here and several posts say this number is usually fake. Is this one fake too? Thanks again.

It's fake, the genuine ones don't have a zipper on the inside pocket. And time has proven that the J8H- serial prefix is ALWAYS fake, not just usually. There's at least one other problem with that bag too.

Thank you Hyacinth. Will you explain what the other problem is? I haven't seen one of these in person and was fooled by the underside of the opening for the turnlock looking normal to me, and wouldn't have questioned it if I hadn't seen the zipper pocket.

The genuine 9755 Pocket Purse has a single solid piece of leather making up the sides and base of the bag, with no seams at all. Most but probably not all of the fakes, including the one you asked about, have a center seam on the base.

Here's a genuine one:
