Do you guys know a good platform to sell these purses?

The ebay subforum discusses pros and cons of many online buying and selling sites.

Bumping, let me know if you need more info, thanks!

Authenticate please! I did ask for (and received) photos of the creed and little white model number tag, but of course can’t figure out how to copy/paste them here (hooray for new phones...). I’m not seeing anything in those photos or the listing that makes me skeptical, but would appreciate a more knowledgeable opinion. Thanks!

I saw your post but with 2 of the 5 pictures in the listing being (stolen) stock images and the other pictures not being adequate for an authentication, I couldn't help.

Please refer to the first post on the first page of the thread for the pictures we need.

It's authentic. I've never seen a handle that looks like that. It might have been replaced. I don't have one of this style to compare.

Hi and great ! Nice to know ha! I will look at it myself when I get it to see if I can find a tag inside. Thanks so much!

Hi all! So I got the bag, there was a id# 37181 but the crossbody strap is missing but looks new. Thanks to all

 

[BeenBurned]

Hi, could anyone help me with the style name of this bag? I just bought it but I can't find anything. I bought through a Goodwill auction that says it has been authenticated but no numbers and/or name provided. Thanks so much!

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this style. It should have a tag inside the pocket with numbers on it, and also a made in tag sewn into the seam. I wouldn't necessarily trust Goodwill's authenticators. They've made many mistakes.

If you want to verify authenticity (and as @whateve said, Goodwill's "authenticators" have made a lot of mistakes), you need to post a picture of the tag with the numbers as well as the made in label.

ETA: I'd also like to see a link to the original listing.

It's authentic. I've never seen a handle that looks like that. It might have been replaced. I don't have one of this style to compare.

Is that the 5080 Brief Bag? The one that looks a lot like a 5170 Diplomat Brief? From what I can see, the Dip has 2 compartments in the body with flat front pockets, and the Brief Bag has a single compartment with 2 gusseted front pockets but the gussets are along the center of the front and not on the outside edges, if that makes any sense.

Does the one from GW have silver-color D-rings on the handle? They look lighter than the rivets holding the handle. I've never seen either of those in person so I'm not sure what's different about the handle. A replacement makes sense, that handle must have had a lot of wear and darkening after 35+ years.
