lifeinstiches Ty for this post I need someone since my mom no longer has The receipt a vintage Prada bag. My sister bought it at a Prada store years ago and by years I mean 9- 15 years ago not sure she doesn't remember either. My mom had no idea about expensive bags and I've been told by some that it's fake but my sister spent a lot of money on that bag and I like to know if it's real. Thanks for your help.

gordomom @hotpantsrhoads Hi Heidi - there are some great gals on The Purse Forum who authenticate Prada. There is a dedicated thread on TPF just for that. They typically have a list at the beginning of the thread that tells which photos are needed. The main website is forum for purseblog dot com. Then, you can search be designer. Please let me know if you have trouble finding it and I'll see what I can do to help.

Aug 03Reply

gordomom @hotpantsrhoads sorry, was over the text limit...Keep in mind that the gals on TPF volunteer their time and are not paid (but they may auth professionally outside of TPF). 💖

lifeinstiches Ty so much for the info it helps a lot 😘👍

blandw @gordomom @katantoinette @dawnsfinallywed What a great idea and so incredibly generous of you both! I'm sure you will be inundated with questions. And I am one! LOL! Do you know of anyone who can authenticate vintage LV? I just bought a keychain from a brand new Posher and it arrived today but I'm not convinced it's real.

Aug 06Reply

gordomom @blandw there is a thread on TPF for authenticating LV. Let me know if you need more info on how to find it. Or if you would like professional auth, I believe CarolDiva dot com authenticates LV. Faith or Dawn may know other options as well. Hope it works out ok for you! 💝

Aug 06Reply

kateincali @blandw @gordomom Carol might be wonderful at authenticating LV, I honestly don't know, but she has made so many obvious mistakes with other brands over the years that I personally no longer trust her expertise. If you can't get an authentication on TPF, http://authenticate4u.com/ offers a $7.50 email authentication

Aug 06Reply

blandw @gordomom @katantoinette The Purse Forum- oh gosh yes! How in the world do you find/follow specific threads and the pictures? I have TPF on my iPad but have such a hard time navigating around that site. I believe it could be a terrific resource though.

Aug 06Reply

gordomom @blandw @katantoinette oh I had no idea about Carol Diva. Thank you for the info and I'm sorry to pass on outdated info. I'm not much in the LV circle, so I need to default to the experts. Bland, would you like for me to send you a link to the thread via FB?

girlygirljordan Hi! What happens if the seller posts a bag for $500+, but the buyer offers less than $500 and the seller accepts...does Poshmark still authenticate bc it was initially priced over $500?

Jan 12Reply

gordomom @girlygirljordan Hi Jordan - I believe the sales price needs to be $500 or higher in order for them to provide the authentication service. On some high end items, I’ve been hesitant to purchase at lower prices, but there are also independent authentication services out there as well. 💝

kristinarealtor I wish I would have know this a few years ago. I bough a pair of CLB on Poshmark for $150 and I thought they were fake. Postmark did nothing. I was very disappointed. They were fake. I use Tradesy and other sites that guarantee authenticity regardless of price. I work to hard for my money for a company not to stand behind what they offer. Shame on Postmark for not protecting us.

May 31Reply

gordomom @kristinarealtor hi Kristina - did you get the shoes authenticated and provide the result to PM? I believe that they would review it in that case. I once purchased a fake Movado watch and they allowed me to return it based on the jeweler’s statement (who would not work on it because it was a fake).

Jun 02Reply

kristinarealtor @gordomom no I did not. Actually after learning that there were fake shoes...had no idea there was such a thing...you could go back and look at the pictures and it wasn't even a question if they were fake. I was uneducated about it and fell for it. Poshmark actually should have caught it, it was that simple to catch ... I just didn't know.

Jun 02Reply

gordomom @kristinarealtor so sorry that happened. It’s so sad that fakes exist and some of them are so well done that it’s hard to tell. Maybe I will add a statement to this about reporting fakes under $500 so that others will know there’s still something that can be done if they believe they receive a fake item. 😢

Jun 02Reply

shopaholic781 Hi! Does anyone know if the “bundle” total is over $500, will it go to Posh Concierge when shipped? Ie: considering 2 David Yurman bracelets that are $300 each. If I bundled both would that qualify for Posh to send to authentication? 🤔

Jun 08Reply

gordomom @shopaholic781 hi - great question! My guess is that it’s for individual items over $500 rather than the bundle. I looked at the website and in one place it says “items $500 or more” and another says “orders of $500 or more”. I think it’s worth reaching out to Posh Support for clarification though. Let me know how it works out! 💝

Jun 08Reply

mrs_smif I appreciate this post! When I first entered the PM world I reached out to them about the authenticity of a LV that I had bought, but they said that there was nothing they could do because I had reached out to them too late. (I spent $500.) I only questioned the purse because it literally started falling apart at the seems. She is no longer on PM, under that same name anyway. Believe me I learned my lesson!

Nov 24Reply

abbi_916 Sometimes they post the fake photos, but the problem is when they are posting and authenticating the original with receipt, bag etc & post those photos but that’s not what they ship. Then they disappear. 😩 so be really careful before you accept the purchase because posh didn’t help or back me up after the fact. Luckily my form of payment did.

Jan 29Reply

gordomom @abbi_916 agreed! I’ve started to cover up part of the serial #s in the photos so that the entire # can’t be replicated. Small steps, but hopefully preventing misuse of information.

gervacj Hi. I have a question. I just received a pair of shoes that I paid $133 for. I also received a poshmark card that states these shoes were verified by poshmark and they are authentic. I'm confused because these shoes are under 500 and I didnt request for this service. Do you have any idea why? thanks alot!

Apr 16Reply

gordomom @gervacj Hmmm that does seem strange. Are they preowned and may have been purchased by the seller for over $500? I don’t recall purchasing anything over $500, so I’m not sure what documentation Posh sends once they authenticate. I will ask around to see if anyone else knows. Have you reached out to Posh to inquire?

Apr 16Reply

gervacj @gordomom Thanks for the fast reply. I haven't contacted poshmark yet but I will. On another note, I'm co hosting Best in Tops this Saturday. If you like, you can tag me on a listing of your choosing for a host pick. Thanks!

Apr 16Reply

gordomom @gervacj No problem! Definitely worth checking out to see if that auth card is real. I’m so curious what happened. 😊 Congrats on hosting Thank you so much for the offer! I’ll tag you, but totally no worries if you don’t choose something from my closet. Thank you! 💝

Apr 17Reply

jillianmig I would like to understand what reasoning you use to authenticate bags? I’ve worked in the industry for almost 20 years and can tell you that no one at any of these companies will do this, so what qualifies you to do it? I choose to post higher end items elsewhere because there are a gang of people who think they are “experts” that like to write nasty comments under them and i would like to know what garners an expert.

May 01Reply

gordomom @jillianmig Because there are many fakes, it’s important for buyers to do due diligence to ensure they’re getting an authentic product since Posh authenticates only $500 and above. While I do not claim to be an expert, I can provide an opinion on some brands based on my experience. The women recommended above have spent years helping with authentication on specific brands, including professional experience.

May 01Reply

gordomom @jillianmig part 2 since it was too long 😊 I’m sorry if you have experienced nasty messages. I don’t believe there is a need to leave nasty messages but I do use the reporting feature when I see fake items. Hope that helps!

May 01Reply

gordomom @jillianmig in the end, I do recommend that people contact a professional authenticator if there is a concern about the authenticity of an item.

maggie0169 @gordomom I got burn twice for buying in unknown websites, what people do for money is incredibly, I learn my lesson! The best way is going to the Store and get it there!

May 13Reply

bernie_be @maggie0169 @gordomom yes this is true but sometimes that’s not an option some items may no longer be made, or you like vintage items, or some people are on a budget and can’t afford brand new. I just spent a pretty penny on a bag that is no longer made and Poshmark will authenticate it before I receive I am still going to have it authenticated by a third party.

Jun 09Reply

gordomom @bernadetterader agreed. There are people who have been following some of these brands for many years, so sometimes they know the older and vintage items better than authenticators.

maschela2 Hi! I have an authentic Louis Vuitton that I just sold and it is going to Poshmark for authentication. I have made some alterations on the bag which were disclosed to the buyer and on my listing with pictures. Would it be considered fake by Poshmark if I added side hooks on my bag although it has been disclosed in the listing?

Aug 20Reply

gordomom @maschela2 that’s a great question. I haven’t heard how they handle altered items. Perhaps they will ask you for details. I’m guessing if the other signs of authenticity are in place and you’ve disclosed the alterations, it may be ok. Let me know how it turns out. I’m curious. Thank you!

Aug 20Reply

xe1v1ilyx Thank you for this thread! I just purchased a Chloe bag. Does the listing usually say something about posh authentication or do they automatically get shipped to authentication before being shipped to me? I purchased for over $500. Thx!

Aug 21Reply

gordomom @xe1v1ilyx hi Emily, for purchases of $500+, the item should automatically go to Poshmark for authentication. In the order confirmation, there is usually a paragraph indicating that it will go to Posh and the approximate timeframe to complete authentication. My most recent purchase was fairly quick. Hope it goes well! Enjoy the new bag! 💞

Aug 22Reply

eskici1970 Well I bought a item on Sunday shipped out Monday received to authentication on Wednesday at 2pm and 3pm email it’s authentic and 5pm shipped out to me. I don’t trust PM either through the covid they don’t touch anything, and all the fake seller will be making money. The item will arrive Friday to me. I’ll take it to my local jewlery. I’m %100 sure the seller sells fake David Yurman s, all his items was $495 since the authentications went through all his prices went up.

gordomom @hanianyc Thanks for your question! If you’re unsure about authenticity, I would recommend getting a 3rd party to authenticate before posting. I’m not sure what happens if your post is reported if people think it’s not authentic. 3rd party authentication can be done via email and isn’t always very expensive.

gordomom @rbrown2996 hi there - I don’t know LV enough to authenticate, but you have a few options. Posh authenticates anything $500+ or if you prefer, there are 3rd parties who provide authentication opinions by photos. The first bag doesn’t show enough photos, so I would ask for more to be posted in the listing. The 2nd listing provides good detailed photos that may be enough for a 3rd party to authenticate. Let me know how it works out!

leathertote @kateincali I had a bag authenticated by TPF, but Poshmark said it is not. What can I do? They used Carol which I totally agree that she made a lot of mistakes. She said Prada bag has fabric lining, if they are leather lining it is fake. But a lot of Prada chain bags use leather lining. That’s just one of the mistake I remember from Carol.

Feb 10Reply

kateincali @leathertote I wish I had a place to recommend other than Authenticate4u because they are not known for always replying in a timely manner. You might want to email them first before paying to get an idea of their response time. Maybe AuthenticateFirst is fine now but they were awful years back and that’s been my only impression. 1/2

Feb 10Reply

kateincali @leathertote If it’s something you sold and Posh is questioning it during their review, there probably isn’t a service fast enough to respond before it gets returned to you. It couldn’t hurt to email CarolDiva and ask how she came to that conclusion and provide her with evidence to the contrary. 2/2

Feb 10Reply

kateincali @leathertote Also, if you can find your style bag for sale elsewhere at a reputable site that could help. Best of luck ❤️

leathertote @kateincali Thank you so much.

Feb 10Reply

leathertote @kateincali Yes, I told Carol chain bag has leather lining and sent link to show her. But she insisted Chain bag is bag, so it should have fabric lining. Only wallet has leather lining. It seems to me that once they said your item is not authentic, no matter what proof you provide, they will stick to what they said. Otherwise they might look not professional by admit they are wrong.

Feb 10Reply

leathertote @kateincali My bad. I must have complained wrong authenticator. It was Lollipuff that has a lot of mistakes. They said all Prada bags have fabric lining and have country code. Both were proven wrong by Prada customer service rep.

I have to send the bag to Poshmark to authenticate it, which gives me a relief that the person won’t go back and say that it is not authentic. But what if Poshmark deems it is authentic and then the buy gets it

bolteepoltee and claims it is not and she returns it and returns a fake one instead. I am scared I don’t want to send it can someone advise what would Poshmark do in that case?

gordomom @bolteepoltee hi - I’ve never had someone claim a fake after posh authenticates, but I imagine that they would stand by their authentication and hope they save records to check against if someone tries to return an item. Are you in any of the posh groups on Facebook where you could ask for other opinions?

bolteepoltee @gordomom no I am not! Do you know the name of any of the those groups? Thank you for your answer!

gordomom @bolteepoltee there are actually so many out there these days that you could search for the term Poshmark on FB and a bunch would come up. I think I’m in one just called Poshmark and one specifically called Designer Database where people can post to get help on style names. I think they may provide comments on authentication or maybe someone could respond about how Posh handles a claim for an item being fake.

gordomom @bolteepoltee also, there are posh groups that form locally too. Maybe check to see if there is a group in your area? I know there are posh FB groups in SoCal, Seattle, Atlanta, Denver, and we have one here in the Portland area too. It’s fun to chat with local posters and meet up (prepandemic).

simba28 @missmiscme hi, I just purchased these Dior sandals could you help verifying if they’re authentic?

missmiscme @simba28 I certainly can try - shoes can be tricky sometimes without feeling their weight and materials in person though. Just tag me in the listing :)

akilah_saunders I sold an authentic Christian Dior Bucket Hat for $625 originally $1000. It was sent to PM for authentication with original receipts and tags. However the couldn’t authentication the hat and gave no explanation as to why they couldn’t.

jimcherrix If you're in doubt about an item <$500 or want to include a Certificate of Authenticity by a reputable company, Real Authentication, is great. They've saved my wife (& me) from buying a fake Versace, fake D&G handbag and a fake Hermés wallet.

gordomom @julezcloset90 hi - sorry, I’m traveling and just saw this. Have you checked the Hermes thread on The Purse Forum? They may be able to provide an authentication opinion. There are also third party authenticators who may be able to help.
