But it is fake even without a pic of the inside? The inside looks just like the pics your showed me. I am going to return it today after some errands, so please get back to me as soon as you can! Thanks!

No, it does not have the Brahmin name on it anywhere. That is why I realized it is fake, but actually it is not fake, it is just similar to Brahmin style - but it was advertised as Brahmin, and had the fob on it so not worth what I paid. It's actually quite nice. I can put up a photo or two but I don't want to do anything against TPF rules, since this is the Coach sub forum.Originally Posted by thecollector629Since I know you guys already I thought I would ask here before searching -
Does anyone know where I can get an opinion about authentication on a Brahmin bag,
and if there actually are any fakes of that brand?
I don't see it in TPF.
Thank you!
ALthough it isn't Coach, may I ask whether the "Brahmin" bag you question actually has the Brahmin name on it?
I ask because I've never seen or heard of fake Brahmin. I've seen inspired styles with similar leathers and styles but I'm not sure that it's faked.
Hiya!
Just wanted to stick my head in and thank you all again for the priceless opinions and information you give indiscriminately!
Especially appreciated when I see it is not the same way in every group on TPF. I guess there are not any special rules or policies.
Note the comment that was posted by an authenticator in "another" authentication group..not directed at me, though I surely took it that way because of my ONE request 10 days ago.
"Please also be reminded that we would only like to authenticate for collectors and not for the resellers. Thanks.
"
I respect their choice, but you would think that by ensuring sellers only sell authentic items they are indirectly benefiting those "collectors" NO?

I'm sorry someone posted that on another authentication thread. I don't feel that way at all. Anything I can do to reduce the number of fakes on the market help all of us, both buyers and sellers. There are styles I want but am afraid to buy because of the potential of getting a fake. I'm sure there are other collectors who feel the same way, so anything we can do to reduce that possibility should be encouraged.Hiya!

Both the plant code and stamp on the buckles are wrong, so yes, there's no doubt in my mind that it's fake. There's no need to take more photos, just know that for future authentications, a well-lit picture of the whole inside back panel of the bag is sometimes a good idea.
I've seen plenty of Brighton look-alikes in thrift stores. I don't remember seeing Brahmin copies, but I saw quite a few with a Tod's stamp. Since I don't know anything about the brand, I didn't want to take a chance. After Coach, the most common fake I've seen is Gucci, even more than LV.
I have the same "wallet." Inside the long slip pocket behind the ID window is a "Made in India" stamp.
Hi ladies,
can someone please authenticate these bags for me? Thanks.

I am learning how to work this app on a new phone, I posted pics in a reply directly under the original post. I'm sorry but I can't even figure out how to delete the original post.
Both look fine. The first is a Madison Biltmore. I was going to post this in the deals thread.
1- genuine Madison Biltmore
2- genuine Dinky Bag but from 1997 and so not technically "vintage". The Biltmore doesn't quite meet the accepted definition of "vintage" as 20 years old or more yet either.
