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.

Hi! Purchased this off Ebay two days ago and I suspect it is a fake. Please help me make sure :smile:

Item Name: Gucci Soho Disco Black Small
Seller: jc94191 on Ebay
Who took pictures: Seller on ebay post and me with these pictures added to this post
History: Seller said was gifted bag, never been used and did not come with receipt
Comments: Has a strong perfume-y chemical smell, I suspect the Gucci logo and serial number has not been printed firmly enough on leather. Also I do not think the real soho discos have any gaps between the metal rings on the tassel zip. Dustbag is very poorly made too, did not come with any tags either
(I suspect this is an AAA grade replica)

Thank you in advance to this forum, it’s the type of thing that you don’t know exists until you really need it.
I bought a “Gucci” bag from eBay, was assured of it’s authenticity due to sellers good feedback & I was also sent a copy of the online invoice. Seller also said that they were happy new meet at Gucci & authenticate upon collection. I didn’t take him up on the offer since 1. I had to send a friend to travel from London to Bradford to collect then bag and 2. As far as I know gucci are reluctant to authenticate bags in store unless you need them repaired etc.

Beautiful bag nontheless but just need to know if genuine or not as if it isn’t i obviously paid too much for it, I became suspicious since dustbag isn’t of same quality as my genuine Gucci’s & label is cut a bit wonky on it. Bag itself seems OK to me, probably wouldn’t have questioned it if I didn’t get sent the dust bag. Also did question why a seller would a sell bag for £300 when they bought it for £1400 4 months previous. Assumed that it didn’t sell for more since no one wanted to to travel to collect it from Bradford. If this is a fake the invoice must have been forged to match the serial number in the bag?

Item Name on eBay (if you know it): authentic Gucci GG Marmount Matelasse Shoulder Bag
Item no: 323053055772
Link (if available): https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/323053055772
eBay Seller: ms493268_3
Who took the pictures on listing: seller. But pictures attached to this listing taken by me today.
History of the bag: supposedly bought online from Gucci on 13/11/17, hardly used then bought by me last week via eBay.
Comments: it is the first bag on the incoice. What worries me is dust bag is nothing like my dust bag so in terms of quality & interior lining is a bit creased on side with “made in Gucci label”, other side appears to be a better fit, Gucci box also seems to be poor quality. Small Gucci label inside interior pocket seems to have fake / blurred QR code that couldn’t be scanned with my phone. Is this normal?
Please also note that lining of bag isn’t stuck down but I have pushed it to the edges to try and uncrease but still seems a bit imperfect.

Advice - I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has purchased a bag through eBay and paid cash. Is it ever possible to get a refund? Can the police help? I do have a document signed by the seller to confirm that I paid in full, in cash. I also have all of the sellers details eg. Full name and address.

Wanted to be thorough as requested & can’t upload enough pictures here so will do another’s reply with more pictures. Thanks.

I found this at my grandmother's house. Can anyone tell me if it's authentic? No serial number, gucci stamp or even a hint of gucci inside of the bag which worries me but the stitching looks very good. Any help would be great. Thanks!20180223_133714.jpg
