They all look fine.

With regard to your question, "are there good fakes of newer bags? Or are the fakes mostly copy older bags?" there are fakes of anything the counterfeiters think they can fool buyers.

Now that you've found us, you can ask before buying for any items you're considering. There might be some styles that are so well faked that we advise caution as well as listings from some countries that we recommend against buying from.

Thank you so much BeenBurned!! Yes I absolutely will have the bags authenticated here before I buy them. I am reading on the guides by Hyacinths and learning a lot. Thanks again for authenticating those duffles. I got nervous because large duffle (deep port)'s creed had No followed by a dot instead of underscore.

I don't see any problems with the bag but generally, when you make creed comparisons such as you've done, you need to compare creeds from the same plant. Unfortunately, I can't find another creed from 75 to compare. (I'll look a bit more.)

Other opinions are welcome.

Here's the creed from the bag you've asked about:

ETA: Here's another listing for the same bag made in the same month, year and factory. The creed is identical:

Thank you for letting me know about comparing creeds from same plant. So much to learn about authenticating bags. I just noticed that the mini duffle is also from plant 75 and also has a dot after No.

Please authenticate. Thanks. I wonder, as I was looking at the photos again, the white dusty stuff looks more like mildew than powder. Also, the dark spots on the exterior and interior look like they could be mold. Opinions on that too would be appreciated.
