Hello, Could I get this bag authenticated? It seems to be missing the dash between the sets of numbers not sure if that means anything or not...hopefully this checks out. Also, the bag is asymmetrical so it was difficult to describe the location of the measurements but I hope they are clear enough to authenticate.
  • Item Name (if you know it): Utility Hippie Crossbody(?)
  • Creed Number: K3H-9404
  • Measurements: 12" wide x 17" long on the left longer (facing) side and 11" long on the right short side, the long side has a small 6" hidden zip pocket, strap drop ~20" at the shortest adjustment. under the flap there is an opening with a full zip pocket and interior pouch area. The bag sits flat against your body.
  • Link (if available): n/a

The bag is fake but it's not because of a missing hyphen. Some genuine items are missing hyphens.

But this bag has an invalid serial prefix - K3H is only on fakes.

Is that bag listed online? Even if sold already, please include the link to the listing as well as the seller ID.

Yikes. Thanks so much for this information.

Although there are plenty of fakes at Goodwill (as well as every other thrift store) and they claim to not "guarantee authenticity," it's illegal to sell fakes PERIOD and if they won't give you a refund, you should at least be allowed to return for exchange.
