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.

Item: GAC Brown shoulder bag
Listing #: 191861514039
Seller: yotao85
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191861514039?_trksid=p2057872.m2750.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT[/B]

Most odd. Perhaps one of those 'Japan only' models that kept the business afloat in the late '80s early '90s but too many things are off. Tag too blurry to be any use (unless that's on purpose)

Hello Papertiger, I received this bag today and took pictures of it myself. Can you please take a look at it again and tell me what you think? There are a couple of things that concern me. 1) The GAC sign is off-centeredness and just messy looking with the overly-bold, uneven font and blobby shield. 2) The serial # is so short! 3) The stitching on one side under the straps is quite messy.

All things considered, I still can't tell if it is a fake, or just really sloppy work from the lower quality GAC line. One thing I noticed is that the side of the zipper says "5 c" which is consistent with my other GAC bags...so here's hoping.

Thank you so so SO much in advance. It's my first time buying from this seller so I'm a bit concerned since the first bag looked "odd" to you. I appreciate your time and effort looking into this!! :urock:

I agree with me from the last time :laugh: it's either a bag made out of other bags, a Paolo Gucci 'on the side' job (for you to understand that you would have to read the history of Gucci or perhaps I wrote about it in the 'Vintage info thread') or this is an example of world's worst repair with bits re-attached.

Clutch looks fine

wait for GD for the other but take better pic as these are insufficient photos

Ladies pleaseee!! I need to be safe (and my wallet[emoji16]) it is my first time buying from an auction site instead of retail store. I need to authenticate this Gucci Beige Miss GG Original Canvas and Violet Leather Hobo Bag New. Pics are from the seller and I will post mine tomorrow when I get it. Thanks in advance for taking your time in assisting me!!

Thanks PT! I did read through your thread on vintage Gucci long ago...very informative, and I learned a TON! (thank you so much for taking the time out to write it! You are such an asset to TPF. :hugs:) I don't, however, recall the "on the side" job that you're referring to, so would you mind referring me to a place where I can read about it? Should I try having this authenticated at Castira? I saw that they do not authenticate Gucci bags over 30 years. What era would you say this bag is?

Also, can you tell me what other pictures I need for the Bamboo bag? I thought I took a ton already, but I am not sure what I am missing. As always, thank you so much for your expertise!
 
Item: Gucci Cloth Wallet

Comments: Picked this up for a really low price from a local FB group for people selling their old stuff , am wondering if it's authentic or not. Sorry for the lack of links as well as information, I have zero idea as to what this wallet is called!

Thank you so much in advance! :)
