Just to let you know that, to my knowledge, Gucci will NOT authenticate any item(s) brought in to their boutiques as per company policy.
This is just My Opinion, but for one, only 2 photos, not nearly enough photos, but this same style bag with the same 2 photos was sold on Jan 16. Plus they have sold several bags Of the same style for very low prices, In my opinion there are some red flags here.hey girls.
a little help please

You can look on the Gucci website under "classics" I think this is supposed to be the Pelham Med, which retails for $1455, now I could be wrong, but I dont think this bag has gone on sale yet, I dont think you could get a new one for $299, I suppose it is possible, even so in my opinion the leather looks off on the one from the auction, and in general it looks off in my opinion....Anyone else have an opinion?
Hmmm, I'm really not sure, maybe you could post a pic of the back side of the Gucci tag(the one on the inside of the bag) close up, not blurry, sometimes there are some tells there...but from these photos...I just cant say, maybe someone else can offer an opinion...
As for the shoes, there is nothing that screams fake, but, I am not too familiar with their shoes, they look like they have been loved though
., maybe someone else who is familiar with shoes can offer an opinion.I have heard the same thing, however, I have also heard that sometimes you can get lucky and a SA will offer an opinion, but in general I have heard they are not supposed to.
I am so sorry
, I certainly hope you can get your money back (fingers crossed) It is definately worth a try.I didn't notice you had posted the back of the tag, sometimes even the fakes can have the right numbers...although the font style in my opinion does look like the right font style. Not sure if this helps
...just some imput.Hi all,
I'm new to this forum - what a great service! Thanks to all of you who help authenticate items from auctions.
I am looking to have these gucci wallets authenticated? The seller seems to have several for sale (which is a red flag, I know)...but still am curious on thoughts:
Authen. Brand New Brown Color #2 Gucci wallet
</IMG> AND
100% Auth And Brand New, Red#5 Gucci wallet
</IMG>
Thank you VERY MUCH for your time folks

This has such a low price; is that even possible to be authentic?

Ok, so I received some pictures of the backside og the tag with the serial number.
I've also enlarged the front og the tag, where it says "Made in Italy" - and as far as I can see, it is the "right" "a" they have used.
So what do you guys think? Should I go ahead and buy it or not?

I don't believe either of these is authentic. The first item shows a "Gucci" box that I have never seen in my life (which doesn't automatically make it fake. . . .maybe Gucci used a box like that sometime in the past, but the seller says this is NWT.)
The second shows an additional "controllota card" in the ID section that I have never seen before (in addition to the normal card sticking out of a wallet slot.)
Both of these look a little weird to me.
Officially this is very true, but most of the time the SA's will still give you their opinion - especially when you know them.
There is another sure way to tell, if the seller says, that it was purchased from a Gucci Boutique. He or she should have the invoice for this purchase, and on that invoice it shows a unique number for the particular model sold on Ebay, or a web site. This number does not show up anywhere in the bag - so if the bag was not purchased from Gucci, there is no way of knowing it. This number always starts wit 8, and has nine digits. Ask the seller, to give you this number, then go to the Gucci Boutique, and ask them to type it into their computer. The model shown in the listing should come up.

These are ABSOLUTELY fake. The font on the (otherwise irregular box) is totally off. A real Gucci box is black with a silver logo, very simple and chic.
The second is painfully fake. It's actually a "controllatO" card, and, as stated above, there is only one card and it is black and white, with the numbers "1234567890" on it. It is completely useless, but is (in general) included with most Gucci items. The box is also a little too creative.
They do have these bags in Gucci stores and I had 1 buyer bring one in, it's the real deal.
