Thank you in advance, great authenticators!

Seller SamiranaTreasures mixes real and fakes and has been discussed here before:

She just had a mention in the Hall Of Shame:
ETA - IN FACT, THIS IS THE SAME FAKE!!!
SamiranaTreasures

Give me a minute, I need to add another browser...

I can't read the serial number and I wouldn't trust that seller to be able to tell real from fake, or maybe she just doesn't care. Even without a readable serial, I'm already seeing another problem with that bag. DO NOT BUY IT.

ETA - make that TWO problems.

THREE problems... and counting

And if the unreadable serial number actually starts with H3L- like the seller claims, that makes FOUR.

DO NOT BUY FROM SamiranaTreasures !!!!!!!

PLEASE do a Search for the seller's name before asking for authentication.

Several of her items are very high priced so I don't think it is a mistake.

Man, I'm getting SO BLEEDIN' TIRED of these BS inflated prices! I wish we could start a GREED ALERT!!! thread.

Hangs head in shame. Would you believe that I had read all of these posts as they were posted? Good grief, I think the heat is getting to me. Will give up browsing and focus on rehabbing and maybe listing. Thank you, @Hyacinth.

Hey, I understand the Heat Thing, and we're not even in one of the really bad areas. I hope the killer heat wave finally lifts for both coasts and the West gets some decent steady rain to cool it down and help get those fires under control.

And I wish I could lock every &!?*%!!! bone-headed politician who claims that "Global Warming doesn't exist and even if it does, it's not our fault" into a large room somewhere in the Pacific NW with only one small window (south-facing) and NO A/C and see if their song changes after a week or two. If not, let them roast. In the words of Angela Davis (Google or Wiki her if the name isn't familiar) "What this country needs is more unemployed politicians."

We went through one of those in Chicago back in 1995, and it was brutal.

@Hyacinth, although difficult to read, I can see that the serial number is H3L-9953.

There's another MORE serious problem with Etsy's seller SamiranaTreasures and that issue is (IMO) considerably more serious than possible "mistakes" in listing an occasional fake. (Although sellers are required by online sites' and law to make sure items are authentic, I have no issue with excusing a mistake.)

Having had multiple listings removed from ebay in the past on more than one ID (as mentioned in other posts), she is aware that she's not infallible. @Samirana was made aware of the possibility of her items being fake and it was suggested that she verify. Although she said she would do so, a month passed and it didn't happen nor did she end her listings. In fact, she told the person who tried to help her to "do what you have to do" when it came to reporting.

I agree with Hyacinth, DO NOT BUY FROM SamiranaTreasures on Etsy or australianmist-7 or dandav8855 (on ebay) or Ana C Longoria on Mercari.

Good to know most of her other IDs, I've noticed one or two of those before.

Why don't these chronic fakes sellers realize that pretty soon they're going to run out of places to sell and buyers who can't figure out something's fake until it's too late to get their money back? I have NO tolerance for deliberate scammers who don't give a fig about authenticating their items or about ripping off their buyers. Whatever it takes, I'll try to get the word out, just like almost everyone else here.

I messaged this person about this bag then 4-5 ads popped up with similar photos the only few bags that didn’t use those photos showed the vin patch but after trying to read the pages of authentication I gave up.

Any help would be appreciated and if you see a real bag like this I’d love to be pointed into that direction.

I currently have 2 tea rose bags but they’re locked and stored or I’d compare the tag/features. I added the chalk coach collection and bag I have.
