Please help me authenticate this vintage Burberrys bag... I am suspicious because the zipper pulls are not stitched and do not have any kind of reinforced rivet. The leather also seems fake to me, I can't even scratch it like you can with normal real leather... The print material does match up nicely throughout the bag though and the canvas feels pretty high quality. Please let me know if more / better pics are needed, and thank you so much!!
Everything looks right on this old weekender bag. I think the exterior trim is genuine leather.
Find an old trench coat with the same lining.
You might be able to clean this up.

Thank you so much! I guess leather quality has really come a long way since the 80's, or preferences have really changed. This leather does seem sturdier, but it kinda lacks an "organic" feel to it. What would you recommend to use for cleaning? I'm pretty stoked this bag is real!
Depends on what is inside - is it a fabric lining or canvas or vinyl or leather interior?

The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.
READ THESE RULES BEFORE POSTING A REQUEST
This is a free service. Our authenticators are volunteers providing their opinions, and who desire to keep counterfeiters and dishonest sellers from profiting from their trade, and to help buyers find authentic items. Authenticators are not required to answer all posts and, for various reasons, some may not be answered.
It is the preference of the authenticators on this thread not to give authentication to members who buy and resell bags. It is also the preference of the authenticators to give authentication to members who post in a range of threads, not just requesting free authentication for designer items. If your request is not answered here, for whatever reasons, professional authentication services are available outside of PF.
1. Do a SEARCH and check if the item has been reviewed by one of the authenticators before posting a request. Searches can be done via the seller name or by auction/listing number - add * to the beginning and end of the number (eg. *12345678*).
2. You MUST use the format below when requesting for authentication for auctions or non-auctions:
Format to use for an auction item:
Item Name:
Item Number:
Seller ID:
Link: (please make sure link works after you post)
Format to use for non-auction item:
Item Name (if you know it):
Link (if available)please make sure link works after you post)
Photos: (attach using the paperclip at the top of the message box or upload to photobucket.com and post the links)
3. All requests must have clear photos (either in listing and/or provided by member requesting the authentication). This will help expedite authentications. Please ask the seller/use the macro setting on your digi (little flower). If you cannot see the details yourself, neither can we.
At minimum, pics MUST include:
- all exterior
- interior
- interior Burberry, made in, and serial stamps/tags
- engraving on hardware
If the listing or your request does not have the required pics, it will NOT be reviewed. That means if you have not received a response, please check your original posting to ensure all information and pics are present.
Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
4. Do NOT make more than 3 requests per post.
5. Please wait at least 24 hours before bumping your request. Search by seller or item # to ensure that it has not been reviewed (see rule 1). If the auction is ending soon, you may say so in your comments. Remember, we are just like you, and get on tPF when we have time so please be patient.
6. To ensure that additional pics requested are seen by the authenticators, quote or provide a link to your original request and response. Use the quote feature or copy and paste the url. Failure to do do may result in your query not being answered. Please utilize the quote feature when responding directly to another post.
7. Comments on price and/or condition are NOT permitted.
8. Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.
9. Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.
10. Do NOT handle your disputes with other members in this thread. Take your differences to Private Message or just use the REPORT function to alert the mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a Mod can intervene. Failure to do so can result in banning. 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.

Hello.
Sorry about being totally new here, new hobby with the brand clothes. Ebayed a scarf last season after countless nights scouring the internets for reference pictures and comparing zoomed in tags. And to my eyes it seems right, but the tag is sewn on really sloppy. So half the time I wear it proudly and half the time I'm convinced that it's the fakest of the fakes.
So I would be so grateful if someone had a look at it, so maybe I don't have to burn it and order a new one
