This thread is closed as we don’t currently have authenticators for Gucci, please seek a paid service.

Please post authenticity questions related to GUCCI in this thread.

The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.


Please follow the following rules:

Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is in order to prevent duplication requests and to make it simpler for people to 'search' for items which may have been posted previously. This is not a thread to ask general questions about GUCCI, please refer to our main GUCCI forum for such information.

This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:

Item:
Listing number:
Seller:
Link:
Comments:

If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

Item Name (if you know it):
Link (if available):
Seller:
Who took the pictures:
History of the bag:
Comments:

Please give us as much information as you can and then attach any pictures (all authentication must include pictures).

Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.
Please limit your request to one (1) per post; otherwise it gets too confusing keeping them all straight.
Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.
To ensure that additional pictures requested are seen by the authenticators, please utilize the quote feature or provide a link to your original request and response. Failure to do so may result in your query not being answered.
Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.
Do not handle your disputes with other members in this thread but take your differences to Private Messages. Failure to do so can result in banning.

Dear Gucci Authenticators, hoping you can help. ....This is my first time posting, please forgive if everything is not as it should be and steer me in the right direction. I did upload the pics in somewhat of a particular order but they don't appear to have appeared on the page that way.
Item Name: unknown, it's vintage, leather, possible 1980's, cross the body
Link: nil
Seller: Bric e Brac, Antiques, Florence - I am living here for a few months, then back home to Australia
Who took the pics: me
History of bag: unknown, but owned by somone who liked a ciggie I think as the smoke still lingers!
Comments:
The leather tag attached to the outside YKK zip is not in keeping with the colour of the bag (the leather tag is black) and the hardware disc is insonsistent with the writing and font of the gold shield inside the bag.
Some of the interior is a bit 'rough' possible wear and tear or not.
The only hardware with the Gucci name/logo on it are the two round discs on each side of the bag with the "GG" logo.
The leather 'piping' on the outside edges of the bag is a bit rough in places regarding joins.

Your feedback is very much appreciated. xx

The internal zip pocket is by OPTI, however should not the zips be consistently from the same zip maker? Unless of course either/or were replaced at some point. 20161020_120728_resized_3.jpg 20161020_120815_resized_3.jpg

Hi - I know it could take a while to authenticate a bag, but I wanted to ensure I gave you the correct information to get the request above authenticated. This is my first time asking for authentication and so any help is greatly appreciated. I want to do this right! :)

Is there any other information I can provide for the authentication?

Thanks so much!

OMG..I didn't know Bluefly sold fakes! I've purchased at least 5 bags from them including my Gucci Soho Disco :sad:

They had in the past (in bulk) - there were a couple of threads about it in this subforum. Most are likely to be authentic but imo if you purchased a bag from anywhere besides Gucci boutique/online or high end department store get it authenticated either here or castira/authenticate4u.
