This is authentic right? I had a lady try to tell me I was scamming selling a fake wallet because it lacked a registration number or white tag.I assured her it was real but I didn’t want her to think that I would ever sell a fake.she wouldn’t take my word for it so I’m hoping you all will confirm it’s authentic! Thank you so so much.

The checkbook wallet is authentic.

If the buyer is using a red, white and blue tag with serial number as a determining factor in authenticity, she's going to make more mistakes. Generally, wallets don't have labels with serial numbers. And many of the fakes are being made with fake red, white and blue labels, some with and some without serial numbers.

Dear authenticators,
May I request an authentication on this blue bag? (Possibly French blu?) It is a find from yesterday at an antique mall. The dimensions are 10” wide, 6” tall, and about 2” deep. There is no red, white and blue cloth tag. The leather duck is flat. There was no brass fob. I would be happy to send more pictures as needed.
Thanks very much in advance!

I purchased this cobalt “Samba” satchel on eBay. It’s a beautiful bag but now I’m thinking it might not be a samba because I’ve since scored a samba grey satchel with lots of pebbling. There is no pebble on the cobalt bag. It’s smooth so now I’m thinking it might be calf. I still love the bag but I’m finding a lot of sellers are mislabeling bags as samba. Thoughts?

Sorry for the delay in my reply. I hadn't been receiving notifications of new posts.

It's an authentic Essex bag. Based on your measurements, I think it's the medium Essex.

It's an authentic over and under bag. The color is gorgeous though I'm not sure of the official name of the color.

There aren't enough pictures to authenticate the bag but so far, it looks okay.

While I'm not familiar with Sambas, there appear to be various bags with varying amounts of pebbling as well as other textures.

Pardon for the sideways photos...urgh...don't know why that happens. I hope it's not too annoying.
