Forgot to ask: should I report this listing and if so how? I had no idea fakes are so prevalent. Is it possible these people don't know they have fakes?

It's very possible, but checking here and doing a forum Search for the seller's name or ID will often turn up the repeat offenders who KNOW they're selling fakes and don't care.

The fake has probably already been reported.

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

You're welcome. Wipe it down with vinegar as soon as possible. If you dunk, put vinegar in the rinse water. If you can, let it dry in sunlight. Vinegar and sunlight both kill mold. Mold can damage leather permanently.

Happy New Year, and sincere thanks to all Authenticators and TPF members who graciously share their knowledge and expertise so freely.

Please can you authenticate this recent purchase:

Platform: Vinted (UK)
Seller: dizzymum
Item link: https://www.vinted.co.uk/women/bags...oach-saddle-bag-with-authenticitystamp-inside
Comments: My first Whitney (?), pre-1994. If authentic, should be a nice rehab.

MTIA. Stay safe.
