Hi all- I recently saw this listing on Facebook marketplace and I wanted to see if you guys think it’s authentic. This is the best picture they could get of the creed. It doesn’t have the hand tag. Thank you!!

The details we need to see to accurately authenticate aren't visible or readable and I'm not going to take a chance, especially on an item on Facebook Marketplace, where we've found fakes often. We need to be able to clearly read the entire serial number and to see all its details. We almost always suggest to members that they NOT buy highly faked styles if the serial number is not completely readable. It's not worth the risk.

Maybe one of the other authenticators can see something I can't.

What I see isn't giving me a good feeling. i don't believe the bag is authentic.

ETA: If you're in contact with the seller, I think a picture of the male part of the snap and the writing on it would be very helpful. Also, if you contact her, ask if she can read the serial number even if getting a better picture of it isn't possible.

I found the most gorgeous red basic bag. Seller is basically a small thrift store online based in North Carolina. Backporch Treasures. Please and thank you for taking a look and giving an opinion on authenticity. I can't believe how good it looks, like brand new. Talon zipper, but does not have "anchors" on the hardware. Only one finished side to the hang tag.
