I thought the top is suppose to be the style number, it usually is printed on the price tag... not sure about the bottom number though.... maybe that's nth number of the item produced quantity wise.... are the bottom numbers ever the same for items of same styles???
I wanted to bump this to get the opinion of some Gucci experts. I've already posted the bag in the "authenticate this" thread.
The bag I want to get has the same serial# 114900 000926 as some other bags I've been able to find through google search. However none of the bags are the same, all Chain Bags (Horsebit) but all different styles (one is GG fabric, one is striped, and the one I want is floral). Now I have no idea if the other bags are authentic, but I did find a guide through eBay actually showing the serial number of the bag I want, saying that was is authentic. Any help?

Hi Authenticators!
Is it possible that a Gucci bag have a serial number of 5 numbers on top and 4 numbers on the bottom? I understand that normally they have 10-13 numbers, so it concerns me.
I am attaching a photo of the serial number to help verify the authenticity.
Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi,
I would also like to know if a gucci soho bag can have 6 serial numbers at the top and 4 serial numbers underneath.
I purchased one recently and this is how my serial numbers have come on the underneath tag.
Many thanks

I have a Bamboo Top Handle Bag and the code is 000-2113-0633 - also in a straight line. I guess it is normal in vintage bags.

This was a very helpful post that may have been missed by some readers of this thread.
As well, to echo others, in my experience the layout and format of the numbers is mostly dependent upon the age. By now Gucci is a pretty well-organized, streamlined mega-brand and so pretty much if you bought anything after the mid-2000's it'll be pretty consistent. Earlier bags, though, varied a lot by season in how the numbers were arranged. Before Tom Ford came along in the 1990's, Gucci was a huge mess and good luck figuring out consistency over time with the codes. Even during his tenure (and the "big" years 1995-2002) they played around with various formats, ranging from XXX-XXXX on top to four, six, or five numbers on the bottom.
I also think, based on various bags I've had/seen, that they changed around whether codes were unique, noted the season, or simply noted the factory where it was made (I've seen several auth bags, for example, from the mid 1990's that have the same codes along the bottom, which I suspect must simply be the location/factory). This is just speculation, but I'd also be curious if some older codes may depend on whether bags were made for the outlets (which also are recognizable for the circular "G" stamp on the tab beside the R-Gucci made in Italy stamp).
In short, don't panic if your bag doesn't necessarily have the exact same marks... but learn the signs. It's much easier to tell if a bag is authentic based on the fonts, hardware, snaps, stitching, etc. than just from a number, especially if the bag is more than a few years old. But, if the bag is current, I'd say anything fishy probably doesn't speak well for the authenticity.

I just read that in fact Gucci uses 10-12 numbers in two lines and it can be six above and five or six below or a combination like that so long as it adds up to a total of 10-12 in two lines behind the Gucci tag. Then of course there are other things to look for, but that's just how the numbers should be set up. Hope that helps!
