Hi all!

I bought a lot on Mercari. I'm hoping a few are authentic and pretty sure two are fake, but definitely need your expertise!
Seller: Jose Manuel Marin

Creed close ups:
Taft: View attachment 5043845


ReginaView attachment 5043846


Two I think likely fake:


Murphy? View attachment 5043853 pretty darn sure this little Murphy like guy is fake.

Small legacy?View attachment 5043856 Creed is off on this to me, but I've never had a DR bag. Sure love the silver hardware if it's real!

Black style # 9980, genuine

brown # 9983, genuine

brown 0974-534 - FAKE. Known fake number, creed misspellings & punctuation mistakes

black 9950, genuine Janice's Legacy
 
Remember to post the seller iD: Jose Manuel Marin

The third one (0974-534) is fake. Others are okay but IMO, Jose Manuel Marin owes you a 25% refund since 1/4 of the lot is fake.
Black style # 9980, genuine

brown # 9983, genuine

brown 0974-534 - FAKE. Known fake number, creed misspellings & punctuation mistakes

black 9950, genuine


Thank you both! I put the seller's name in the original post but it is a bit buried. I appreciate your expertise!
 
Hi All

I bought a bunch of vintage purses over the past couple of years, but suspect some are fakes now that I have discovered this forum. Would appreciate if you could let me know which purchases were authentic vs fake. Here is the 1st one...a navy legacy zip. It feels like nice leather and has hand tag, but it might be fake. Bought on eBay from http://www.ebay.ca/usr/mamasha-12 in 2019.

Here is the 2nd one...dark brown legacy zip. Bought on eBay from http://www.ebay.ca/usr/emilitito37. leather is thicker but really still nice and supple. Not sure is it is because it was made in Mexico. Also has hand tag.

Here is the 7th one....blue fletcher bag...leather is thin and not soft. Bought on eBay from ne.vtg.finds. It came with hand tag. Zipper seems different and not so rugged. Is this because of the Lightweight collection or is this fake.
