Loewe Paid Authentication Services

[bunnylooloo]

Caveat that I am not an authenticator but I believe that is a fake. The reason is that the font on this zipper pull is wrong. Also, I accidentally bought a fake Loewe in the size small in tan and it has the exact same font for the zipper pull. I got mine authenticated and the authenticator said this font was the biggest telltale sign that it is a fake. I later bought a real Loewe Puzzle and the font on that particular zipper pull is the same as all of the other fonts.

Again, not an authenticator, just based on my own personal experience and also my readings about authenticating Loewe Puzzles.

I can DM you some of the pics of the fake zipper pull if you want. I still have the bag because I didn't have to return it (since it was fake and Paypal ruled in my favour).

EDIT to add: the clasp on my fake one also has those weird striations right above the word Loewe. I wouldn't be surprised if your bag came from the same manufacturer as the fake one I got.

Hi @pinkrose398 - when you say the font on the zipper pull is different, so you mean it has a sans serif font and is different compared to usual Loewe font? There’s a small tan puzzle posted now on Vestiare Collective, listed for around $2300 Canadian, brand new. I noticed the font on the zip is exactly like the fake bag you posted about! This is really suspicious.

Y’all are making me want to check my preloved bags purchased from Fash!onphile. Should I be worried? LOL. I’m expected to receive a Goya bag from them and now I’ll be inspecting it real thoroughly.

What's the serial number on this bag? The zipper pull looks like the one on my fake one so its likely a fake. The fake is super good quality. Unless you touched and smelled the leather, you would have a hard time telling that it's fake just by looking at it. The only telltale sign is the zipper pull font. Everything else on it looked very legit.

Photo of the serial attached from the listing. Of course this bag has already sold, because they list it at just a few hundred dollars less than what typical new puzzle bags go for on VC. What is infuriating is that this group of people have posted 3 new puzzle bags in the past few days. They use 3 different accounts but the sofa is the same in the background. Yesterday was a medium and small in tan for $2300, but today they’re trying to pass off a medium one for $3800!! Definitely getting greedy.

I questioned her on the authenticity and said the zipper looked weird, and she said it looked like all other bags on VC and swore it was authentic

Fake fake fake. That serial number is the same as the one in my fake one. The black one that @SpaceCadet almost bought also has the same serial number. I imagine it's from the same manufacturer that used the same serial number and the same stamps for creating the same fake bag over and over again.

Ugh, that's terrible. Good thing for this forum. I'm wondering how savvy they actually are since they keep posting pictures of the zipper pull and serial number which are the giveaways.

Hi guys! Very new to Loewe and after reading this thread, I was wondering if you guys could take a look at this serial # and tag. I got this from Fashionphile as well…

Just to be clear - it’s not on the flap covering the zipper. It’s on the leather strip on the inside of the bag. On mine - if you hold the bag against you with the back of the bag against your body, it’s on the left side. View attachment 5268449

Phew was looking high and low for that number
Thank you very much

Are you guys aware of any company that does Loewe authentication?

Not a company that specializes in Loewe authentication, no.

Just online authentication services similar to Legit Grails that authenticate all the big brands.

Hi everyone!

I bought my first Loewe flamenco with crocheted octopus on the sides (instead the knots) which is part of Paula Ibiza collection from 2021. The seller said it is authentic, and to me, looks authentic! But then, looking pics online, so many dupes flamencos styles that you can even tell that is fake and I got worried! Is there anyway I can tell mine is real? I cant find any post about authentication of flamencos styles so I dont know how to see it! My bag is not here yet but if you need pics I will send when is here! Thank you so much

There's something assymetrical about that serial code-that bugs me.

Haven't bought consignment in awhile but seems ebay has a whole authentication service? Currently waiting on JW Anderson's take on the Balloon Bag after I had sadly let go of my vintage one.

Hi! I used the legitgrails to authenticate a Loewe Flamenco bag I got at buyma.com.

I paid $15 dollars and they emailed next day and said seeing the pics of the bag I sent to them, it was fake! I was furious with the seller and fought for a full refund at buyma and affirm!!! I also emailed them back saying seller told me they bought the purse in the particular loewe outlet at england and the ppl from legitgrail agreed to review my case and asked for more pictures with no charge! This morning I got the email apologizing and my bag was authentic! They corrected the website as well! But now I have 2 screenshots with same bag - one saying is fake and another saying is authentic???? Im trying to find another online authentication but looks like its very hard with the brand Loewe???

Now I have no idea if my bag is fake or not, I already started fight for refund everywhere I could…. Not sure what to do! So upsetting

Hi guys, I was so happy with my Loewe Puzzle bag buy on eBay, but now I'm thinking I purchased a fake. It came with the receipt but that can of course also have been faked. Have you seen the Made in Spain look like this? There's no space between the words. It's Loewe Puzzle medium supposedly from 2021. Hope you can help me out!
