Authenticate This CÉLINE

[Miss World]

If you're unsure, don't buy anything. It is a horrible feeling finding out later on that you are walking around with a fake bag that you've purchased for thousands of dollars.

Ask for zipper marking

Dear Unoma,

Thanks for replying so quickly! It's an honor to have your wisdom. The seller provided this image of the zipper within a couple hours of my asking for it.

However, is it more helpful to get a picture of the zipper head meeting the teeth at a different angle so we could see if there are any markings? I'm not sure. It's so hard sometimes to tell the difference between the real deal and fake, especially online, and no one wants to get duped! Thank you thank you! Happy Weekend!

Best,
Anicca

Thank you Anicca for the response so quickly, I have reached out to the seller and asked history and she said she had the pocket stitched at a shoe cobbler. I did some research of my own and found this bag was a rare one from 2011 if it is of course the real one, olive green lining and blue serial tab. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Please let me know if I need to ask the seller for a better pic of any part of the bag. The first part of the serial actually starts with an S. Here is the closeup she sent me, I too asked the same lol

Dear Ms.Affliction,

Hope this message finds you well. I'm far from an expert -- but based on the pictures, it appears that (1) the "organizer pockets" on the interior seem to be ripping out of the leather (a.k.a. white cotton thread-looking stitching is exposed), (2) the feet seem misaligned(?), (3) the top serial number begins with a number, (4) puckering of the leather on the interior, and (5) significant surface ripping of the interior leather that seems unrepairable caused "a light hand" (if that makes sense). I mean, the cobalt's interior theoretically comes in olive green...and the zipper marking looks typical (although some metal "paint" appears to be rubbing off).

Also, although Celine's serial tagging varies a lot -- typically I've seen the serial number tag leather as matching the outside leather. So one would expect (but I guess not as a rule of thumb) that the tag should also be the smooth cobalt. But that's just my guess?

Ultimately, I'm not really qualified or experienced enough to say one way or another. If I were you, however, I'd trust my gut/wait until a Celine Expert (such as the fabulous Unoma) gives their wise advise.

Best,
Anicca
