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.

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.

Authenticate this Gucci bag please?
This is a bag that I currently own and I'm not sure of it's origins, someone gave it to a relative as a gift. I looked everywhere online and I can't find a bag that is identical to it. (the most similar one I found is here)
From doing previous research, to me it seems that everything about it points to it being real except for the tag (see photos 5 & 6) To me, the font is off, it has a weird shape, the stitching is wrong and there's no serial number on the reverse side.

Bag is about 14" tall excluding the handle, 10" Across, Handle is 8".

I found this bag in a Goodwill and was positive it HAS to be fake...why would someone donate this? I know literally nothing about Gucci, so I did a quick Google search on how to identify fakes, and the first article I read didn’t alert me to any red flags...so for $3, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to bring it home and do some more investigating. Now I have a headache! So many articles seem to contradict one another, so I thought I’d just come here to get some specific evaluation.

There are several reasons why I believe it’s likely a fake, but I can’t help but to find out for sure:
- The “CI” at the end of GUCCI isn’t as deep as the other letters:
9A48B435-185C-4B6F-AB93-558EB54FE836.jpeg

- The stitching overall is beautiful and even, however they get a bit out of uniform at the bottom of the bag (the stitches on the right are shorter than the stitches on the left):
4DB52443-2E34-467B-B3DC-370BA3FE3438.jpeg

-There are no numbers anywhere...but it’s unclear to me whether this bag might be vintage enough to not have any ID numbers?
- The zipper teeth are plastic. I thought this would be a dead giveaway of being a fake, but one article stated that authentic Gucci zips can be plastic (only that the zipper pull itself is never plastic)
- I can’t find this bag ANYWHERE. I’ve found similar styles, but not this style exactly. Is it just its own creation trying to pass as a Gucci instead of duping?

Other details:
The hardwear seems nice...sturdy, solid metal. “Gucci” is engraved on both sides of all the zipper pull tabs. The canvas and lining appear and feel like great quality. The logo pattern on the bag looks correct, to my noob eyes. More pics below:

(This is the label inside the bag)

A5824E35-E532-4C12-8EEE-57953C764E6C.jpeg
(The metal of the zipper pull is a bit worn. Don’t know if that’s due to general use, or if it’s because it’s fake)

Sorry if this isn’t a great pic of the pattern. I can provide more pics if necessary.

Thanks!
 
Item Name (if you know it): Gucci Parfums Monogram Clutch (UNSURE)
Link (if available): N/A

Seller: Already bought it and in my possession

Who took the pictures: I did

History of the bag: Bought from someone who guaranteed authenticity. It was apparently a gift from her grandmother who left it in the box for over 30 years.

Comments:
Hi, I'm very new to this. I just joined so I hope I'm doing this correctly. I need help with authentication. I've been doing so much research, but I'm just not sure. I've been fooled so many times. Please help.

Its vinyl lining, Gucci Parfums Made In Italy 38. Online consignment offered to purchase from me after viewing and I've found a few similar online. However, one platform took it down because they said it was a replica. I'm confused. Please help. Thank you so very much!

I picked this up at a thrift store today and would love to know if this vintage satin and velvet scalloped clutch is authentic. The logo reads "G Gucci Roma Firenze Milano".

It's 10" across by about 5" high and appears to be hand sewn, has a Prentice zipper and another brand of snap, though I don't recognise the logo.

Hello! I was wondering if you could help me determine the authenticity of a vintage Gucci bag. I recently purchased it online. The stitching, canvas, logos, and serial number all seem authentic to me, but since I am new at this, I'm afraid I might have over looked something! Thank you!!
