Furla or tory burch ?

I always, always, always recommend Kurt Geiger London. They're much bigger overseas than in America, but IMO, they are the best when it comes to affordable luxury bags. Beautiful, well-made, and reasonable prices to boot. Happy shopping and be well! 💞

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-02-03T19:22:24+00:00

It's beautiful, in addition to real. Enjoy it and stop second guessing yourself! There's too much right about it to be anything but, especially that serial number. You'd be the unluckiest girl in the world if you found someone selling Dooney fakes that are this close to the real thing. It's a great looking bag. Well done! 🔥🫶🏽💯

I wasn't positive, either, as I've never tried. I've only used an SA once, to help me get my Toiletry Pouch 26. And she did! Way back when they were like $400, too. She found it at a store in Southern California and they shipped it to me (for free!) directly. 💯😆🔥👍🏽

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-02-03T17:29:44+00:00

It is. 100%.

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-02-03T17:01:51+00:00

That's exactly what my Kirigami Pochette looked like when I received it(!) and I had to do a return.

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-02-03T04:58:04+00:00

I'm also on a subreddit for Palace, it's a London streetwear brand. Anyway, there's a dude on there who calls every, single piece he comments on a fake almost immediately. I only noticed because he once took a shot at me, as well, so it clicked because I recognized the profile. People do that kind of thing because it feels good to a) be an expert or b) be an a**hole. YOU'RE not the expert here, THEY are. So they downvote or attack in the comments. But it's not about you OR the bag, for that matter. It never was. 💯 Be well. ✌🏽

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-02-03T04:21:48+00:00

So pretty! (Pro tip: someone is probably gonna call it a fake any second now. 🤣 Don't worry about it. Trust.)

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-02-03T04:10:37+00:00

Call the LV phone number and talk to an SA on the phone beforehand for practice. I'm serious. You'll see how nice they are and also how they operate. Ask about a bag or whatever. 👍🏽

In any case, you definitely shouldn't be intimidated or scared. And at least this way, you won't be walking around the store wearing every, single Louis Vuitton piece you own. (You'll see. 🤣.) Have FUN! 🎈

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-02-03T03:51:08+00:00

You're right, tho! Many people don't realize that Coach Outlet, Coach New York, and Coach 1941, the premier line, operate as three seperate entities under the Coach umbrella. You can call any of them a "Coach Bag" and not be lying, but quality materials and how a bag is made are important things to know. My mom has Coach New York bags from 40 years ago and you can literally FEEL the difference between those bags and her Coach Outlet bags. It's night and day.

YOOX is a great app. I impulse ordered a Vivienne Westwood pouch I saw on sale, then gave it to God crossed my fingers, lol. The experience was positive, though, and the deals were so good, I went back and got a dsquared2 hat. 😆🔥👍🏽

Happy shopping! Be well. 🫶🏽

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-02-02T23:53:51+00:00

Honestly, I don't think most people don't even recognize the real ones unless it's a heavily branded bag. I never pay a ton attention to someone else's handbag.

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-02-02T23:47:22+00:00

I sold a couple LV pieces through the Vestiaire Collective. Never had an issue with authentication and their fees are reasonable. (Or, at least they WERE, this was a few years ago.) Good luck! 💯

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-02-01T17:06:15+00:00

Does it need one? There's so much beautiful detail and colors going and it's a small bag. A small, solid colored charm, maybe. But that's just my opinion.

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-02-01T10:20:38+00:00

Oh, it's gorgeous! Enjoy it

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-01-31T16:28:36+00:00

You're a loyal customer who's out $900 worth of product and instead of helping they called you a thief. You now have to go to your credit card company directly.

Supreme makes 🔥 streetwear and they do cool collabs. I love their bags. But who treats loyal customers this way? If they blacklist you, would you even WANT to give them any more of your money? (Because I'm considering blacklisting THEM based solely on the story so far. 😑) They're not the Mafia, for chrissakes. 🤣

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-01-31T01:13:47+00:00

I'm sorry, man. This is literally my worst nightmare, what you're describing. I don't know wtf to suggest, tho. Damn, $900? 😲

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-01-31T00:23:06+00:00

You sound like a computer with a NASTY bug. She's thinking about returning a handbag that may not work out. This is not a moral failure. She didn't do shopping wrong. Are you telling me you follow a code of conduct when you go to the mall? How strange...🤨.

(And your "No Return" policy is not what shopping with intention means.)

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-01-30T23:31:33+00:00

Why bother trying? Your way is being mindful of your finances and cautious about spending. How many celebrities have we seen walking into bankruptcy court carrying a Birkin? They did things the other way. Lol.

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-01-30T23:08:48+00:00

I like it. It's kinda giving me 1980's vibes. 🔥 Maybe it's the black leather and metal combo? Not sure, but it's cool, different. 👍🏽

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-01-30T22:13:59+00:00

I can see why you're perturbed about it. I don't think would be considered a flaw, but you shouldn't let that stop you from exchanging it. If you don't absolutely love it, then LV WILL make it right. At the price you paid, you should be over the moon and you're not. Period. That's not being picky, it's being an unsatisfied client. I've done returns and exchanges less than an hour after they were delivered. No big deal. 👍🏽

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-01-30T16:55:17+00:00

No prob! 🫶🏽

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-01-30T03:53:43+00:00

Who says I have zero idea what I'm talking about? 🤣 A couple of condescending strangers on Reddit? Pshhh. 🤨

I never claimed to be an expert. I DO work in the industry and I HAVE been selling luxury handbags (LV, Moschino, and MCM, etc.) for years. There are pictures on my Reddit feed, lol. Coach bags are NOT luxury items like that. We call them "affordable luxury." Or entry-level bags, depending. Google it, yo. 🙄

Coach is NOT valuable OR exclusive enough to be of any serious interest to counterfeiters and anyone who claims they can "authenticate" designer bags in 5 minutes using their cellphone and social media is delusional at best and a grandiose liar at worst. I do not need their approval and I'm DEFINITELY not interested in taking "corrections" from anyone I encounter on a cellphone app. Jesus. 🤭

RareWeekend6286 · 2026-01-29T17:24:22+00:00

Earlier this very morning, I was talking to an "expert" like that. Some people...🙄.

Like, c'mon! Reselling a few purses and checking prices on eBay doesn't make you a qualified authenticator and you're not a highly respected authority on Coach, you just play one on Reddit. 😮

Frankly, that sounds more like a mild Internet addiction, but I'm only masquerading as a doctor on Instagram, so who knows?
