The serial number is fake. It's been used hundreds of times in various new bags - mostly pouches.Omg I almost purchased it already if it weren't for some technical issues on the websiteIf it's ok may I know why do you think it's a fake?

My deepest apologies, @Nataliechanht, and thank you @V0N1B2 for this. Obviously I have not the skill for authenticating some of the new Daniel Lee items. I have bookmarked this post for my future edification.
Hi! I bought a pre-loved large cabat in nero and would like to ask if you can authenticate it. The seller described it in "very good" condition but it is in much worse shape when I received it. I also wanted to ask (and not sure if this is the right thread to ask it or if I should post it in a different one) if this is worth having repaired at Modern Leather (which I have also learned from this forum=)). TIA!
It's all good! Guess the replicas are just too good these days - we'll really have to look out for the super fakes out there
Also thanks @V0N1B2 for the explanation!
Hello,
please help me with this wallet. I cannot find another single one like it anywhere (big red flag). I bought it on Mercari where I’ve had good luck before. It came with cards/box, etc., but we all know that doesn’t really mean anything. I have an authentic zip around and my white tag has 2 lines of info on the back, including the year made. This one does not. Hope this link works. Thanks!
*After hours of searching, I found the exact same on a Vietnamese website. Last photo is theirs. Ugh

Hello,
i found the listing about the cassette belt bag. I hope you can authenticate this from attached pictures because I doubt the hot stamps.

Just saw your post and @V0N1B2's reply - not sure if this helps, because I am NOT an authenticator, but I do have several TM BV's (personally I prefer "old BV"). Your bag reminds me of my tiny vintage BV "Veneta" (their hobo style), which an SA at my local BV boutique authenticated for me after I bought it; I was pretty certain after TONS of research. I had finally spotted someone with an authenticated black one and mine was identical (diff auth codes of course). There are some differences between your bag and mine, but also some similarities, so I'll share mine here...
Our bottom seams are the same...
... so is our handle seam.
Zipper is different...
Interior metal label and interior zipper also different.
My label is inside the zipper area.
My interior pocket is fabric, but the main interior is leather - pigskin suede, as I was told by the BV SA (different than the cow suede used after/now).
Maybe an expert BV member/authenticator can chime in, but my gut feeling is yours may not be authentic - in my research, I know there were fake metal labels back in the day, but the biggest red flag for me is the interior material (fabric with repeating logo). I could be wrong though!
Hope this was helpful, though not definitive. Good luck!
Hello, I have just purchased this clutch from the TRR but have my doubts. Would really appreciate your input.https://www.therealreal.com/product...eta-intrecciato-knot-clutch-8m81x?position=94

Ideally, I'd like to see a clearer photo of both the authenticity tag and the plate, but from the pics provided, it appears to be an authentic Large Nero Cabat, IMO
You could definitely ask Modern Leather for a quote on a refresh/treatment.
@indiaink rehabbed a Mini Nero Cabat a few years ago and I know there's a thread somewhere but maybe she'll pop in and offer you some advice.
The small Intrecciato Continental Wallet is authentic, IMO
The colour is Dark Gold (or Oro Scuro) and is from Fall 2017.
There should be a white authenticity tag sewn into the right side of the interior of the bag. I can't offer an opinion without seeing both sides of it.Hello,

This Chain Knot looks okay to me, but I know @indiaink has a similar Knot - perhaps she can weigh in and give you her opinion.
Knots are difficult to authenticate and they are not my forté.This one looks like Shadow and it could be from around 2012-2013 I think - BV did some chain Knots at that time that hung vertically.
Was the chain not included? Is that discolouration on the body of the Knot?
I did quite a bit of work on my Mini Cabat - re-sealed the coating on the handles, repaired holes in the handles. @kathiejam if you only mean the leather itself, often a good conditioning with something like Bick's Leather Conditioner or Dr. Jackson's Hide Rejuvenator will do the trick.Ideally, I'd like to see a clearer photo of both the authenticity tag and the plate, but from the pics provided, it appears to be an authentic Large Nero Cabat, IMO

@gengem.ob This Chain Knot looks fine, but seems to be missing the strap, and also has some type of discoloration. I would return if the strap wasn't included.This Chain Knot looks okay to me, but I know @indiaink has a similar Knot - perhaps she can weigh in and give you her opinion.
