Thank you BeenBurned! Thank you for the info on the past fake sale. I forget to do a search for sellers here to see if you have found them selling fakes in the past.

You wouldn't have found it in a search. That fake was in her completed/sold listings but hadn't been posted on TPF prior to my finding it earlier. (I look at sellers' other current and completed listings.)

Hello everyone,

I pulled the trigger on this bag, as I have been jonesing for an olive purse to rehab, and they are often so expensive. It looked exactly like my black Janice' s legacy and it feels the same, but I still should have had it authenticated first! Here's to hoping it's not a great fake...

Item: olive Janice' s Legacy
Listing: 222563157831
Seller: dreamindani
Link: item in my possession
Comments: exact same dimensions as my black Janice, which was authenticated here

 

[nursebetty]

I also came across this bag at a thrift store, and would love an opinion on authenticity. Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Item: navy colorblock city willis, 70th anniversary
In my possession
Seller: Value Village
Comments: it feels like leather, but not as soft as my vintage bags and the leather is much thinner.

Dear authenticators,

I have not been active on tpf for a number of months (life reasons), but I used to be quite active, so hopefully I may ask for an authentication?

We found the below bag at a vintage mall. *If* it's real, it would have to be "before-the-creeds", which is certainly beyond my knowledge. It has no creed, but does have the cartouche. The font seemed ok, and the Talon zipper matches an early NYC bag I have, but ... I definitely need it checked. It's in disturbingly good condition, which somehow makes me trust it even less, LoL. Too good to be true? Actually, my first reaction was: A watermelon tote? Here? At that price? Can't be. And like I said, before-the-creed is way beyond my league.

If it's fake ... eh ... the leather is in wonderful shape and it cost all of $5, so I'll cut it up for other projects.

Zipper is Talon, hangtag is missing (did they have hangtags in the before-the-creed years?), and the dimensions of the bag (minus handle) are 9 x 13-1/2 x 2-3/4. Oh, and I just realized I forgot to take a pic of it, but the side of the kisslock hinge has a "B" on it. I can take that pic too, if needed.
Help? Please?
(sorry for duplicate pics below ... I haven't posted any pics like this since the board format changed).

It's fine.

Thanks.
