I know I did! I kept trying to do research on bags while I was out thrift shopping. Thankfully I figured out a briefcase I found was fake on my own. It was trying to be a Kensington (like the Willis but bigger) but had a sawn off dowel, screws falling out of the d-rings and a style number that matched Lula's Legacy! I know they could've made a mistake with the style number, but the other problems with it made me glad I put it back on the rack. :nogood:

Has there been confirmation on if the J4C prefix is no good? (I feel like it was brought up recently.) That was the prefix on the serial for that briefcase which also raised some red flags in my mind, since I know J4D is no good.

Both J4C- and J4D- have been used in fake AND genuine bags. The font used can show if it's real or fake, along with any other problems with the bag.

Why do you think J4D is no good? If the D plant was active in 1994, and it was, then it would have been operating during that month. Same thing for J4C. Just because counterfeiters seem to favor the J month code doesn't mean that there aren't authentic bags with those prefixes. I don't have any fake J4C creeds in my files.

Generally I find that there are usually other mistakes in the creeds if the bag is counterfeit. Usually the font is off.

Most 1994 creeds still use the old style wording and have the "made in..." line across the bottom.

Here's the creed from my Carnival Bag which was authenticated here.

So so happy to see the forum back. :happydance:
Thank you and appreciate all the authenticaters help. Missed the whole forum.

I lost a few auction bids on ebay and won one. It looks good to me but would love an authenticator to look at it. It shipped out today and on the way. Can't wait to see it.

Comments: Hoping this bag is authentic. I was bidding on another one similar and the number was 5053. Then found this one 5054 and loved this one too. Not sure if they are different sizes and look very similar. I think it's a Hampton bag.

It's authentic.

Most wallets don't have creeds and most "experts" don't know as much as they think they do.
