I have always been Chanel fan but recently fallen in love with Saint Laurent's style. I ended up buying two pre-owned bags but not sure where to get them authenticated. Looks like the "authenticate this" for this brand is dead as no one is authenticating there. I'm not aware of any knowledgeable third party authenticators for this brand so wonder if lovely ladies of this forum can direct me to a good authenticator?

(Please spare Real Authentications" as I never had good experience with them and don't think they are very knowledgable.)

I got my Sac de jour pre owned. Went to the YSL store in my city and they were able to authenticate-ish. I knew-ish one of the girls working there before. They compared it to one on the shelf.
Good enough for me.

May I ask what issue you had with Real Authentication? I used them 3 different times on different brands and they’ve always got back to within 24 hours or less regarding authenticity.

I don't think they do their research and as a result don't have much knowledge about rare/vintage or any special pieces. I remember once they deemed my Classic Chanel bag as fake which was serviced at Chanel and later on sold to Fashionphile (was authenticated by tpf and etinceler as well) . It was def a genuine bag but they never cared to do their research. That's why I'm looking for a knowledgeable authenticating service.

Thanks I wish I knew someone at the store too, it'd have made my life so easy, but unfortunately I don't. :(

Oh okay. I think with Saint Laurent and current pieces they will be very good. They were able to find out one of my bags was a fake, a very close replica and I was able to make a case and get my money back.
