Authentic vintage. That was before the forum's time but we've seen quite a bit. You may find remnants of a blue tag inside the zippered pocket; that tag was placed in such a way that the zipper kept catching on it so owners eventually cut it out.

thanks for the info! Any idea of a name or age of the bag? Or is there another thread I should post in for that kind of thing? Thanks again!Authentic vintage.

This is incomplete info because it's The Real Real, so if you are not able to fully authenticate, I completely understand!

Hi BV authenticators, would be very grateful if you could verify the authenticity of this bag. Seller claims that it is brand new from a Europe outlet sale. Thank you!

Hello authenticators 
I purchased a lanyard from Luxury Closet. It arrived this evening, and it does not feel right to me. The hardware is more black rather then brunito, the woven part seems a little thicker, and the leather is very shiny….but, I’ve purchased 2 lanyards recently from the BV outlet, and the metals are silver-tone on one, goldtone on the other, and the metal itself is very flimsy compared to older lanyards, so maybe this blackish metal could be authentic, but DL era, BV?
Its really difficult to compare the heat stamps on this one and a lanyard i know to be authentic, b/c its partially obscured by the cord, and is very small for my old eyes…DH attempted to take a pic using a magnifier app, not sure if it will suffice.
I am attaching pix in addition to the listing pix. Along with an authentic Nero lanyard to show the differences in both thickness and hardware color. And the dust bag/box it came with (on top), compared with an authentic dust bag/box (bottom). These seem very off to me also, and are different then any of my other ones…..thank you for any input you have!

Hi, sorry I was on a little vacation. I can't really say 100% if it's authentic because the authenticity tag isn't shown but I can't recall ever seeing fakes in this particular style.
If you bought it, please post the relevant pics here when you get it.
Thank you and I hope you had a good vacation!Hi, sorry I was on a little vacation. I can't really say 100% if it's authentic because the authenticity tag isn't shown but I can't recall ever seeing fakes in this particular style.

This looks good - no red flags, but ideally I'd really like to see a clearer photo of the authenticity tag (without the shadows)
I don't have any experience with lanyards. Let's see what @indiaink has to say. I think she she's owned a few throughout the years. The leather looks really shiny - is it like a patent?Hello authenticators

I didn't see a photo of the authenticity tag in the listing, or I may have missed it? Please ask the seller for that, but so far it looks okay. I can't remember if BV did The Lauren in New Light Gray or something similar. It could be Antique Silver, as the leather looks like it has a very slight sheen to it.
Thank u V0N
. Hopefully Indiaink can tell. I have not emailed Luxury Closet yet. The leather is indeed very shiny, but not patent. And does not even really feel like leather. The hardware tho, unless in DL’s reign he did these in a black flat finish, its not brunito.edited to add, it could be patent leather, i can’t tell! Probably b/c i am suspicious s out the hardware, and the box/pouch…..

Thank you so much @V0N1B2! You are amazing!
I will ask the seller for the authenticity tag.
Hello, I wanted to know if this bag is authentic. I believe the serial number listed on the website is 10500105389NE which seems different from other serial numbers I have seen. Thank you!
