It appears authentic. There is no need to post pictures if we can see them in the listing. It's a stewardess bag #9525 made between the late 70s up through the late 80s.

Thank you so much for your posting, I love how you know from 3 photos. I wish I had that knowledge. The bag smells of damp so rehab will be fun

From reading on this forum I6U refers to made in Hungary but the seller states Made in USA. Please can you lovelies let me know what you think? I’m in the UK

It's fine, made in 1997.

Yes, it can be dunked. But I would be careful with lighter colors. They don't come back as nicely as dark colors do from a dunk. The color may just be on the surface so once it is gone, it is gone.

Thank you so much ladies! Hope you have a joyful and safe New Year

The bag is authentic. Many sellers don't bother to read the creed and just state what they believe to be a fact.

That's not always the case. In that listing, there happened to be enough (few) pictures to authenticate it.

Still, for pre-owned items, it's always in a seller's best interest to show multiple pictures, not only for proving authenticity but so buyers can know what condition the bag is in.

Hi all, first post here. Would you please give your thoughts on the authenticity of this Scooter bag? I've never purchased a vintage (or used) bag before so I'm really nervous. Thanks so much.

I agree with BeenBurned, it's fake, sorry.

The serial number has invalid production codes, and the creed wording isn't correct for the year in the codes either. There's also a problem with the hardware. Get your money back.

Oh thank you so much! I was too afraid to buy it without asking you all here, so I've avoided a fake. Thanks again! Back to looking for another Scooter in my price range.
Happy New Year!
