How to make sure a designer bag is authentic/Are these authentic?

[anb1357]

I do what to generally look out for (stitching, date code, etc.) I'm interested in buying the Gucci disco bag and I've narrowed it down to two sellers that seem legitimate. Both are not suspiciously low priced and come from the US.

One has thousands of very high ratings, offers returns no questions asked and provides a lollipuff authentication link. Photos are not great though - I've attached them. 

The other has lots of great clear photos but only a couple of reviews.

Here is the second bag link.

This is my personal opinion. While we were all newbies at one time and while the seller may be absolutely honest and be selling an authentic item, I wouldn't buy a $900 highly faked item from a 2-feedback seller, only 1 of which was as a seller. And without a proven history of selling authentic designer items, I'd think twice.

Actually, the listing with the Lollipuff authentication has better and more complete pictures and the price is less than the unproven seller.

I don't know the high feedback seller but if @jsales0, @mupcycledcouture or another Gucci expert feels okay about the listing, I'd go for it.

No opinion other than I’d personally only buy from a higher feedback seller of strictly luxury goods and would have the bag professionally authenticated immediately as that bag is one of the most highly faked out there.

If bought off another site I’d doublecheck return policies prior to purchase.

Sorry I can’t really help on this one.

@jsales0 

I will send you the listings.

TY A and agree with your opinion but I’d still get another authentication upon receipt.

I agree with everyone else. Send it to Castira when you get it.
