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 guys! Would really appreciate if you could help me authenticate this bag that I purchased recently.
I have no talent in spotting out fakes and I'm not a designer expert, so the very few bags that I do own, I purchased in authorized stores. But, I went to Japan recently and kinda went nuts with all the great deals.

I made sure to pick "reputable" stores though. But this particular find made me panic because I couldn't find any information on it.

Item Name (if you know it): Gucci bamboo top bag (?)
Link (if available):
Seller: Brand off Shinsaibasisu
Who took the pictures: i did
History of the bag: I bought it in one of those second hand shops in Japan
Comments: I've heard only good stuff about Brand off. And i even saw in their page that they're part of this voluntary campaign to stop fake goods from reaching Japan. In my moment of panic, i tried contacting them via this phone app called line. And they were kind enough to call back and explain some of the questions I had about the bag (such as why I can't find the serial number, why it still looks new etc). They even offered to buy back the bag in case I wasn't happy with it. That made me calm down a bit. But again, you can never be too sure right?

Those pics the seller took are awful. Blurry, far away etc

Can you take all pics again Nancy

:ty:

Thank you. But I'll be returning the purse because it looks disgusting when I received it. The "leather" lining was disintegrating into dust when touched. I'm pretty sure leather has a life expectancy of forever! But thank you anyways. The forums really helped. I'll try my luck again soon. 😊

Close-ups needed of:

1. Gold metal tag on zip

2. Logo on front

3. Inside of poppers

4. Leather
 
Ok! I'll have to do that when I receive the bag[emoji5]️ Any thoughts from what you can see already? Also, what are poppers? Sorry[emoji37]

No red flags

forget to say most importantly

5. Front of tag

Sellers take pics to show condition of bag not authenticity. That's why they need to be specific ;)
