Fakes are really easy to spot when you know what you’re looking for and there are several of them listed on his platform. It doesn’t take a collector to Spot these cheap copies! The biggest telltale sign the bag is fake will be a round magnetic snap. Also, the braiding on the fakes always starts to chip after a few months. You can also tell from the leather and if it has a waxy finish. If it looks plastic it is plastic. Be a smart consumer! A simple google search to see what the bag of selling for and what a real one looks like will help you avoid having your time wasted waiting for an evaluation and a refund

Another telltale sign of a fake is the interior leather tag. It will never have rounded corners. The corners are 90° and the stamp is not huge. It should not take up the entire tag. Also, there’s a very specific font for the style numbers on the back. Again, a simple Google search and you’ll be able to see what the real one looks like and the fakes will stand out. The font is always huge and nowhere close to the real thing

Another sign of a fake is the interior is faded. The real thing doesn’t fade like an old T-shirt. It also doesn’t ball up like an old sweater. It stays bright and vibrant as pictured above even with years and years and years of use

Sadly, there are too many people that end up buying a fake and have to go through the refund process and that’s if it’s caught as being fake. It’s just as easy to have an item evaluate it before purchasing on posh that way you know exactly what you’re getting. Also, report fake bags when you see them! I regularly report dishonest sellers but Posh can’t remove them all in time

And just FYI, I don’t sell my collection. I’ve collected them for a reason and hate seeing buyers get taken for a ride because a seller either doesn’t know if a bag is authentic and doesn’t feel like taking the time to have a check or is Simply hoping you don’t know any better

There are some really beautiful, 100% authentic versions of this bag listed from different sellers in both the large & medium size (and it was only made in two sizes. The medium has a zipper and the large has no closure, just a braided edge)
* Unfortunately, there are also at least seven fakes in the large size that I found with just a little bit of scrolling. Be smart

Also, always look very closely at the braiding. The braiding will be tight and very close together. There will not be gaps in between. There’s a black fake version listed for sale where you can definitely see the difference

Another benefit of familiarizing yourself with the real thing is that you will know exactly what these bags are selling for on the resale market. In excellent to mint condition, the canvas can sell for $1000 plus. In excellent to mint condition in leather, anywhere from $1000-$1800.

If you see a bag that has sold and is fake, you can still report it. Fakes are not allowed to be sold on the platform and per customer service, they still want to know if users are doing it

Black bags have black stitching. Brown bags have brown stitching. People out here trying to sell you fake Gucci simila leather bags were they didn’t even bother to hide the snap and put it right on the outside. Plus a Google search will help you familiarize yourself with the real thing. The strap is short. If you see one that’s hanging down to the persons waist, it’s a fake

Before you buy the Gucci horsebit hobo, whether here or on another site, make sure you at least do a Google search to know what the real thing looks like. There are some bad fakes being sold right now here on PM. Hopefully their authentication service will catch it but these sellers are ridiculous. They are hoping you have no idea with the real thing looks like

@angeliquecarney Honestly, the fakes are really easy to spot if you know what to look for. Do your research looking at the real thing and that is a huge help. You can Google how to spot a fake horsebit hobo and there’s at least a couple of YouTube videos plus pictures speak 1000 words

I love when a seller gets mad when they are called out for listing a fake then blocks me from responding. It costs $15 to have an item evaluated b4 listing it for sale. Why waste ur buyers time by relying on PM to do what the seller should do! If you can’t be bothered, don’t sell😉
AND THE FAKES ARE SOOOO OBVIOUS. If you know what to look for, there is no way you will ever mistake a fake one for a real one

@angeliquecarney No, sorry. I not going to evaluate sellers items on Posh. Of course if I see a fake I have no problem commenting in case the seller does not know but my post is rather to give others information needed to safely purchase an authentic item. The whole point of the information is so that you don’t ever have to take someone’s opinion on whether or not a bag is real and rather can take the proper steps to know before hand.

It’s also funny when you comment that item is not authentic because it clearly it’s not and he Seller flips out telling you I don’t know what you’re talking about and that you’re harassing them. Ironically, one of the people that got really upset that I commented that her bag was clearly fake days later sold the bag and in the comments the seller told her they found out it was fake and she told that person to stop insulting her🤦🏻♀️

I can’t say it enough! Just because you bought it on this platform doesn’t mean it’s real! Every buyer has the ability to have an item evaluated for authenticity before spending their money on it! Why rely on Posh if a fake was allowed to be listed on their platform anyway

And it should go without saying, Gucci has never sold this bag with a fake satin lining that is stamped with the word Gucci all over it! You’re also not going to see a plastic zipper in this bag. As mentioned, a simple Google search will give you a knowledge base to at least be able to spot the really bad ones

Just a reminder… This bag will always have a style number of six digits on the top and six digits on the bottom. They will also be in a very specific size and font and deeply embosssed into the leather. These are not serial numbers. That means that both style codes are unique to this bag

With a simple Goog (Internet) search, You will get lots of results. Take the top six results and all of those style codes should be the same.

Anytime you’re purchasing a preowned luxury item, you should have a ballpark as to what they are selling for. When the threshold to have an item authenticated by Posh is $500, you should wonder why an item is priced under 500 if it is selling for significantly more everywhere else!

tiffany2727
And if the seller has other items in their closet, take a look to see what they have sold in the past. There are people trying to sell this bag right now that have multiple fakes listed for sale as well as in their sold items. That is the 1st red flag. That means they disregard the guidelines for selling on the platform

And be careful. Anytime someone says they are not sure of authenticity because they bought it from someone else, you can bet they know exactly if it’s authentic or not. If you want to be a seller, pay the money to have an item evaluated and if you want to sell fakes, have a garage sale

And if someone states in the comments that they don’t have the authenticity card, who cares. No one evaluates for authenticity using the card. That just tells you the person doesn’t know anything about the back. Also, Seller just told me that the Poshmark team told her it had been purchased from the Gucci store This bag is not going to be sold for under $500 unless it is beat up and even then be suspicious if someone doesn’t want Posh to evaluate it for authenticity before it gets to you

When you ask a seller, which you are allowed to do, if an item is authentic, I believe it is should not be a response. If you are selling on any platform you should take the time to make sure that item is authentic and that is easily done by paying a minimal fee to a third-party Authenticator that will give you paperwork saying they have a valuated it. It’s simple

@redneps and these people should be kicked off the platform. They know it's fake when they're selling it. They just hope they get away with it. The resale on this bag is double what they originally sold for, but they make sure to price them low enough that they don't have to be sent off to be checked. It's dishonest and why so many people have a hard time buying luxury resale.

It's really sad that some people are unaware of the fact that you can absolutely tell when a bag is fake without having to have it in your hands. If you know what to look for, it's not difficult to spot a fake. It's really funny when someone asks how you can tell the real thing from a fake and then block you before you can answer that very easy question.
