Is this bag Fake / Authentic? (December 2003 - July 2009) - Page 96

Another thing ... Buying designer items from a website is extremely risky. I know that I will not buy anything from a website that is selling Hermes, Tiffany's, or Louis Vuitton at way below retail prices if they claim that they get to sell these for cheap due to "factory rejects" or "wholesale". LV, Tiffany, and Hermes do not do wholesales. So if a website is selling fakes of one brand, there's also a likelihood that they're selling fakes on all the other brands that they carry.

That's what I thought! I was trying to explain to my friends that a LOT of people have "official" sites that sell bags as "authentic" and they aren't! I had actually browsed leshanta.com for one friend and then this other friend asked me about pouchette.com... I started looking and I was like whaaaaaaaat? These sites are IDENTICAL! Thanks for your help!!!

You're very welcome

. I typically buy my purses and designer items directly from the source. If I have to result to buying on eBay, I always make sure I pay via Paypal with a credit card and have something in writing from the seller guaranteeing that I can return the item for a refund should there be any authenticity issues. Also, you should probably stay away from sellers or websites that say they will only give you a refund if you have "written authentications". Most designer houses don't do written authentications due to the legal liability and responsibilities that come with it.

I think those are authentic ... But the thing is with buying from online websites you never know. It looks like they're selling styles from last season and the pricing is about right. Also, the leather on the purse is much more distressed without that fake sheen. So, I think there's a good likelihood that they MAY be real.

The wait list for Fendi spy bags is going pretty quickly. Call the Barney's in Beverly (Center/Hills?) and ask for John. He got me mine in less than two weeks or so. Cognac--it's absolutely GORGEOUS.

At a consignment shop today,

I saw a bright pink Prada croc skin bag for about 90 CAN (that is like 75 US?) and a Lous Vuitton "Speedy" (I think that's what it's called) long hard black bag with the vertical line etching, for about $130 ($100 US?) That seems low for a used version of the real deal, don't you think? But I wasn't sure what to look for to tell if they were fakes. I did not even pay attention to the logoed LV stuff (and a Fendi one too.) A saleslady even said that the Chanel 2.55 was fake (I did not see the price for it though)

xwhispertomex · 06-10-2005

How about this LV cherry pouchette?

Any and all help will be very appreciated!!!

esile · 07-10-2005

^ i'm no expert on the cherry line... but this looks authentic. the cherry pattern is consistent with the authentic ones i've seen. try comparing the layout of the cherries to other ones.

.... i looked at it again... does the LV look off centered?... i know that the LV pattern should be absolutely symmetrical on authentic louis...
now, i'm not sure?

xwhispertomex · 07-10-2005

^ I thought the same, but I also sent those pics to my friend, who has that piece (I was with her when I bought it auctally), and told me her's looks exactly the same

esile · 07-10-2005
