Hi there dear Authenticators,
I bought this bag cheaply and have been rehabbing it to practice my rehabbing skills. I figured I wouldn't lose too much if its a fake, I can just get rid of it, . Would you please give me your expert opinion?

Item: Court Bag J6H 9790 City Bag

Serial number prefix J8H- is ALWAYS fake, no exceptions have ever been found. The strap on it is also wrong and the buckle is too far from where it's attached to the purse. It would also help to see a photo of the back of the turnlock that shows the prongs, that's probably wrong too. There are other problems like mismatched colors on the strap keeper and a section of the binding, but the serial prefix is proof enough.

PLEASE, save these links to the 2 parts of the Daria48 Fake Numbers list and use them:

It's fake. If you get rid of it, remove or obliterate the creed. Fakes don't rehab the same as the real thing.

For the record, her fake bag has J6H, a fake year code with H plants we don't normally see. (J8H and J9H are the more common fake prefixes.)

Hi Hyacinth,
Thank you for your quick response. I checked and I knew about the J8H thanks to the links you posted to me before , but this bag is J6H, not J8H and I didnt find it as a fake prefix, but I know the links are not exhaustive. Is this still a fake for the other reasons you said? I have attached a picture of the turn lock backs.

It is fake. The font is incorrect for the H plant.

ETA: Some comps from same year and plant. (Yours is the first example)
