Please follow the following rules:
- Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about Hermes, please refer to our reference section for such information. Finally, do not submit requests for something that is obviously a fake, e.g. the item says it is a replica, or a $200 Birkin.
- This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:

*****************
- Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
- Authenticators may also request additional pictures and/or information in order to assist with authentication. Please remember, it is always useful to have several close up pictures when submitting an item for authentication.
NOTE: In the absence of an auction listing (private sale situations), posters to this thread are encouraged to provide the following extra pictures, which need to be large and really sharp. It is recommended to use the macro function of the camera:
- Front view of bag
- Zipper & its end
- Hardware
- Craftsman stamp on strap
- Hermes stamp + Top stitching
- Clear picture of the interior lining
- Base of the handles
- Side view of the strap guides
- Please do not intervene to confront a troll or rudeness on the boards, just use the REPORT function (
button) to alert the mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a mod can intervene.
- Always be respectful when you post and treat others as you expect to be treated. This is an open thread and everyone is welcome to participate.
- Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.
