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 all, my first post here and hoping that you could help me validate my assumption on this bag. I have a bad feeling about this but because the seller is very reputable and I've had generally good experience with them, so I'm kind of in shock.

Item Name (if you know it): New Jackie Shoulder Bag/Hobo
Link (if available): No longer available as I bought the bag
Seller: Yoox
Who took the pictures: I did after purchase
History of the bag: Sold as new; received 3 days ago
Comments:
My suspicions:
1) The serial numbers under the tag appear exactly on numerous counterfeit websites
2) The price tag (Euro $1700) is stickered onto the care card
3) Dust bag appears of poor quality
4) I remembered seeing this bag back in around Nov/Dec last year; in fact, I had it in my bag and half an hour later, it was out of stock. I was kind of bumped that I had missed the deal so when it showed up again I couldn't help but think it must have been returned. I had a bad feeling then but decided to see for myself, and now I think I know why.

I will most likely return this bag, but it'd be good to hear from all the experts here as this is my first Gucci bag. Thanks everyone!

Did you pay through paypal or cc? If so you can start a claim with paypal for item not as describe. Before you do that, let your seller know that way she may decide to take the return without going through the hassle of a claim because most of the time, seller and buyer should work it out themselves. If she won't take the return, you will most likely need to (but not always) provide proof that it's a fake from a trusted professional authentication service like authenticate4u. Worse comes worse, you can always do a chargeback.
 
Hi there, would an authenticator take a look at this Gucci handbag and let me know if you think it is real

Item name: Gucci black large horsebit hobo
Listing number: 222013490241
Seller ID: sistersleftovers
Link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/222013490241?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Seller insists it is authentic but the interior tag and serial number looking nothing like my other Guccis that were purchased at the Gucci boutiques

fake
 
Could someone please authenticate this Gucci PLUS bag?
It was purchased at a local thrift shop. I took the photos.
I have no other info on the bag.
Approx. 11.5"w x 7"h x 2.5"d. Strap drops 22.5" to stitching on side of bag.
Both zippered pockets are lined with gold moire fabric (not pictured).
Any info like name, age etc. is much appreciated. Is the trim pigskin?
Thanks in advance!

Grey area

These were made under Paolo Gucci (grandson of GG) but the Gucci company doesn't recognise them as Gucci

By the way finally learn how to attach pictures. LOL. I'm old and slow.Thanks in advance for your help.


Not great photos for authentication purposes but looks OK
 
Need a clear macro shot of the front and back of tag.


Here is the tag she sent me
ImageUploadedByPurseForum1455478941.012131.jpg

As for the other return ..even before I purchased the bag I told her that I will get someone to authenticate the bag for me before accepting the bag and she agree to it. When she sent me the bag she also never mention about the cleanness of the bag. The bag came to me put in box and that was it! Nothing to protect the bag. And also the inside of the bag was so dirty! And it smell horrible :(. She stuff. Whole bunch of dry cleaner bounce sheet in the bag but still couldn't get rid of the horrible smell :(...

Need clear shot of the back as well.

It's fake so the awful smell is redundant at this point (also I don't think smell is part of snad as smell is subjective). My advice is to get it professionally authenticated which will definitely be evaluated as fake, then open a claim because you have about 3 months to do so.
 
Item Name: Gucci Microssima Heart Continental Wallet (I think)
Seller: eBay
History: new
Comments: I purchased this on ebay and was hoping someone could authenticate it for me. From what I can tell (and I'm definitely no expert), it appears to check out, but then I noticed the serial number is the same as several other Gucci wallets online. I know they aren't unique numbers but what are the odds there are so many of the same number being sold out there. Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
