Hi Authenticators! I was wondering about a couple bags’ years and authenticity:
1. Link: https://merc.li/GAsYnp7Jb
Site: Mercari
Seller: Joyce Pennix
Styles: bundle of a bucket bag, wristlet and classic bag

2. Link: https://merc.li/yTXKP8PGb
Site: Mercari
Seller: Rizemahot
Style: Willis

3. Link:https://posh.mk/2xkREcMXhab
Site: Poshmark
Seller: zoeykim
Style: Station bag

4. Link:https://posh.mk/OkHX8LRXhab
Site: Poshmark
Seller: mcbare
Style: Swagger


1- I'm only seeing one creed and the serial number is unreadable. There's no way to authenticate them

2- I'm seeeing J8H- as the serial prefix - FAKE

3- genuine Station Bag 1996

4- genuine Swagger Spectator style 6820, late 1980s

Trying to hone my authentication skills. Bought this City Bag at Goodwill today for $20. Could someone please let me know if I got it right? Also- any thoughts on color? Mahogany or tabac?
Thank you very much! :smile:

Genuine City Bag from 1998.

The color in the photos just looks grey-ish or washed out to me. The pictures of the inside suggest Mahogany. It's definitely NOT Tabac, that color had been discontinued 7 or 8 years before this particular bag was even made, and there was no red in it.

I'm not seeing a creed picture for the red one. It can't be authenticated without one. The first one might be okay but I'd really like to see a better picture of the numbers, particularly the two characters after the K.

The creeds are very light so that concerns me. It looks to be k89-9781 for the brown one. I have already dunked them and they are drying as we speak. They didn’t fall apart in the water so that makes me hopeful.

Creed on the red one might be LOD-9145. Best guess.

The red one is fine. The brown one is mystery. The numbers after the dash should be 9061. I'm still having a problem with the prefix before the dash. There is an outlet mark and many things about the creed look right. The best I can say is that it is questionable but might be okay. Other opinions are welcome.

Really appreciate your comments and time. I don’t plan to resell. Just wanted to know for my own piece of mind that I didn’t get ripped off

Thanks so much! I was mostly interested in #3 so thanks! :smile:
In the Mercari listing 1 from seller Joyce Pennix, not only are the creeds from the 2 black bags illegible or not shown, the third item in the listing, the plaid wristlet is fake.

Don't buy from Joyce Pennix.
