Authenticate This CÉLINE

[vintage diamond]

Literally everything. I am shocked a reputable store let this slide.

The logo is completely off in terms of spacing, the font on the Made in Italy stamp is completely off, the imprint of the date code is incorrectly handled, the texture of the leather on the exterior and especially the lambskin on the interior is completely off also. This bag is fake on first glance.

Sophia, I can’t thank you enough for your input. I feel very let down by the store in letting this one through. My other Céline (Seau Sangle) is store bought and I have no experience of the Classic to properly compare this one to. It’s 2.30am here in Ireland but I’ll be making contact with the store first thing in the am for my refund.
Thanks so much again, you have saved me nearly €2000.

I'm so happy to have helped you! Hope they give you a speedy refund. So unacceptable!

Hello, Sophia. I hope you’re having a good day today.

Would you please authenticate this?

Item: 2015 Tricolor Micro Luggage Tote

Listing Number: W-GA-2175 (Idk if that’s what was meant by the listing#?)

Seller: The Realreal

Comments: I recently purchased this bag from The RealReal. It’s not only my first Céline purchase, it’s my first high-end luxury handbag.

I am a little nervous though, because I have never seen or held a Céline tote in person. While I have been reading about how to authenticate them, there’s only so much the internet can teach if you’re inexperienced. That The RealReal has had several incidents where some of their products were counterfeit also makes me a bit nervous.

That said, before I move forward with cutting the tag off and giving it some tlc, would you please help me in determining if it’s the real deal, or not?

Also, the lighting in this room is on the warm side, so the grey buck hide looks a little on the brown-ish side in the photos.

Hi Sophia,

Can you please help authenticate this Celine Mini Luggage Tote from Rebag? I had purchased this same bag directly from Barneys NY back in 2014 and sold it in 2019. Looking back on this, I regret selling my first ever Celine bag. This will be my first pre-loved purchase and one that holds a special place in my purse heart if I’m able to replace what I regretfully sold. One interesting thing to call out about this particular purse is Rebag is selling this through Tradesy. Rebag also has this same bag listed on their own website. Do you know if it is common for a second-hand luxury goods company like Rebag to sell through a consignment store? Just want to make sure this is legit and I’m not missing a possible red flag.

I have provided details for both websites below and photos directly from these websites. Looking forward to your response and much appreciate your time and help!

Best,
Ann

Hi @Sophia! Could you please help me authenticate this black Medium Box Bag. I purchased it from a reputable online consignment store but would like to make extra sure it‘s authentic.
The link is accessible: https://www.rebelle.com/celine-taschen-4593566

According to the receipt provided by the seller it was purchased in July 2019.

I’m adding some extra photos. Let me know whether you need more photos. Sorry the date code came out quite blurry. It’s F-GA-2169. Your help is very much appreciated

Hi Sophia,

I usually hang out on the H subforum, so I apologise in advance if I posted incorrectly.

In your experience/knowledge, are you able to tell me the shading of the print? Is the brown more orange or a more neutral brown?
Many thanks for your help.
