Comments:

I have nothing to compare it to, I've never seen a real one, but it doesn't smell like leather, it smells like incense, so I'm assuming they stored it with something smelly.

They included price tag on the listing photo, which seems sketchy to me, like bought off a Chinese fake purse site sketchy because there's no actual store info on it.

I can take pictures of something if needed, but this listing has pretty decent photos.

Thank you if anyone is inclined to help, I appreciate it, I'm in uncharted territory for me, I've only ever bought a Prada nylon bag from overstock once back in college

Hello! I need some help.

Item: Celine trapeze
Listing number: I don't see one? It's on mercari app
Seller: Linda 355
Link: https://merc.li/pFmjsWP9b (I hope this works)
Comments:
I am new to all of this, I have never even bought a leather handbag before but I just bought 2 cheap used ones on mercari/poshmark and I'm very suspicious of them, I'd be really embarrassed to carry around a fake bag so u was wondering if anyone could help me?

The first one I bought on mercari, the seller said she bought it on poshmark. It definitely looks old/beat up. I googled pics, the color is reminiscent of a summer 2012 bag. But the shape looks odd, the heat stamp inside is worn off, there's no date tag inside the pocket. And it's got a branded zipper inside. I'm guessing all this means fake.

I can try to get more pictures if anyone needs something specific, I didn't really know what to go with.

Thanks.
Fake
 

I really appreciate your help, is there anything I should be on the lookout for in the future? I am not familiar with this brand so I just did some googling. What about this one screams fake (was it the zipper, the missing tag thing, the worn off logo?) and what about the other one makes it look real? I honestly can't tell the difference in the feel of the materials but I would really like to learn so I can tell in the future.

I just loved the style of these, I first saw it on the resale apps, I'd never heard of them before, I do remember the face looking ones from years ago when they were popular.

Thanks so much, you were incredibly helpful.
 
Item: Soft Grained Calfskin Small Sangle Bucket Bag Abyss Blue
Listing number: 449927
Seller: Fashionphile
Link: https://www.fashionphile.com/p/celi...kin-small-sangle-bucket-bag-abyss-blue-449927
Comment: This is an item I purchased through Fashionphile for my mother back in December 2019 (the listing said the bag was from 2018). When it arrived, I compared it to my own small black sangle seau that I purchased directly from Celine (in October 2018) and everything looked okay. Now that I am planning on selling my small sangle seau, I decided to have another more in depth look at the bag from Fashionphile and two things are really making me question/worry about the authenticity of this bag. My main concerns are the differences in the strap clasps (the blue one's clasps have a wider taller loop, the place where the bar and loop top connect doesn't match in thickness, the push down piece is shorter on the outside and curved on the inside and the the place that the push down piece would be pressed down into to open the strap clasp is longer) as well as the differences in the Celine logo (on my black one the stamp is much more pressed down into the leather). I have included pictures of these differences (between the black one I purchased from Celine and the blue one purchased through Fashionphile) below as well as the original listing link and I was wondering what your thoughts are on this? Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Sophia! I was wondering if I needed to add anything else to my request for authentication or is this a concern I should post in the main forum? Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Hi dear - sorry for the delay. I do believe the FP sangle is authentic. I've owned many different Sangles through the years - with my first one purchased in 2015 - all purchased directly from the boutiques and there have been some variations in design with all of them.

As for the logo - I do believe the FP one is authentic also. The spacing isn't too extreme to be ruled out as a fake.

Just to confirm - can you get me a clear picture of the Made in Italy stamp and the date code on the FP sangle? Thanks!

Not a problem at all and thanks so much for your insight! I've attached pictures of the two aspects you've requested. Hopefully the date code one is okay (please excuse the tape as it was the only way to get a good photo; probably one of the hardest to get a clear photo of I've ever seen!). The original listing states the date code is "W GM 2168" but from what I can see it is "W GM 2158".

Comments: Hi Sophia, can you please authenticate this bag I've purchased already? I've provided the link to the Ebay listing but I'm not 100% sure the seller has actually sent me the bag pictured in the listing as the front canvas print does not match. I've circled what I mean, which makes me suspicious. Can you please authenticate based on the pictures I've uploaded instead. Thanks!

Hello again Sophia! I would so appreciate your opinion on this Celine classic box bag I recently purchased from Fashionphile. It has just arrived so I was able to take a few more photos of the bag.

Item: Spazzolato Calfskin Medium Classic Box Flap Bag Daffodil
Listing Number: 747561
Seller: Fashionphile
Link: Comments: The strap on this bag has four holes and I used to have a box bag several years ago but don't remember it having that many. I could very well be remembering it wrong though!
