Hello Authenticators, can I ask for your help in authenticating these Rambler legacy bags.
First are a red one and grey one.
The red one is made in china and had an odor so I put some baking soda in there and then I couldn't get the creed to photograph.
The red one has a prefix of #G040 - I've learned recently these can be ok for the more recent bags.
The grey one is made in Mexico.

It's hard to read the creed of the red one but I think both are fine.

authentic. I wonder why it was in the bins!!

Thank you so much for your time and expertise, whateve! The fact that things like this are in the bins is such a PROBLEM because it keeps me going back 😬

I'm genuinely curious, how did you it was fake?

We don't go into detail about what makes an item fake.

And why would you dredge up a post from 4+ years ago?!?

Is this fake? The Daria48 list says this prefix pops up in fakes, and the prefix has dashes in it.

Hello Authenticators, can you please authenticate this Costa Rica Stewardess? Looks Fake? I never know about these Costa Ricas.

Hi authenticators... Can anyone tell me... is it possible to authenticate these half moon crescent bags? I think it was been burned once who said the newer bags are really hard to authenticate. I can't get a detailed picture of the creed either, without bending the bag. I can barely see the numbers.

 

[Michelle1x]

Both are authentic. The spectator isn't a Watson - it's a mini bag

Thank you so much for all the authentication expertise and pointing out the mini bag!!
Isn't it funny that spectator mini bag is obviously not a watson. It is merely the same size as a Watson but otherwise quite different. But you make a mental picture of what you think something is in your mind and voila!... that's what it is forever until somebody points out that you've mislabeled something.

Hi there, would this one be authentic? It's from Vinted. I think it is the mini belt bag.

Can you stick your phone inside to take a better pic of the creed? Also please provide link and seller information.

Would you please authenticate this coin purse I purchased at the consignment store? It's about 3" x 3" thank you

 

[JuneCleaverSemperFi]

Would you please authenticate this wallet I purchased from the consignment shop? This card was inside it. About 5" x 4"
Thanks

It's genuine.

My Costa Rican bags have had gorgeous soft leather.

The card case is authentic from around 2004-05. I don't believe that card came from that wallet.
