General Gucci Questions

[Couture_Whore]

I know for sure Baby Phat came out with that exact style purse. I saw it in a clothing store in the mall. I"m pretty sure you could find it on Ebay as well.

Any Gucci experts?

I know there's a post on fake bags, but it's grown quite a bit and I was hoping for a more precise critique. I hope it's ok with the mods that I took this to a new post.

Anyway, can any of the Gucci experts give opinions as to whether they feel this bag is authentic?

Thanks

I looked at the listing on ebay and I'm half and half with it. It looks authentic when I look at the inside zipper. However, it has a low listing price and the horsebit hardware just doesn't seem right to me. In the first pic the hardware just doesn't look right (the way its laying), but I'm not sure if its because that bag is a medium and mines a large. I would ask to see if the seller has any more pics of the hardware to make sure its actually attached to the leather strap.

Gucci on eBay

Does anyone know of a reputable eBay dealer/member that sells AUTHENTIC Gucci handbags??? Thanks!

 

[FacesbyNiki]

You might just want to do a search and look at their selling status. I wouldn't buy anything from anyone with less than 500 when it comes to something like Gucci.

too many counterfeit gucci bags on ebay
i personally would rather not recommend anyone ...
its too hard to tell by reputation and i have more than 5 friends who have already gotten ripped off. the last one being a friend who decided to purchase a gucci belt bag and got a fake one! (she had bought it from an ebayer with 100% feedback too...)
good luck though!

 

[Theory]

I agree 100%. EBAY is a crapshoot. Why would one pay say $500 for a possible fake on EBAY when tons of Gucci bags go on sale at the Gucci store starting at 40% off (not all styles I know). The risk to return ratio with EBAY and designer bags isn't worth it. I could see if it was a true bargain, but the prices are similar to dept. store sales. People buy a bag from EBAY, cross their fingers it is real, then run to a Prada or Gucci boutique to get the bag authenticated....is it really worth it

You won't find a real Gucci going for below retail on eBay, so just go to the store and enjoy the shopping experience of being there and plopping your CC down at the Gucci store for the fabulous bag you crave..

One sees sometimes authentic Gucci shoes but bags are a fairly risky endeavour. Especially with new ones.

However I've bought authentic albeit vintage Vuitton from ebay. This seller also has new ones but they are the collectible new ones well into the thousands.

90% of gucci bags on ebay are fake, esp if they are from power sellers specializing in gucci. generic gucci bags are pretty easy to imitate, and even the SA at a gucci boutique cant tell the difference.
i bought a gucci pouchette from an ebay powerseller and it was fake A++ quality.
it was from a couple seasons ago, so the Gucci SA couldnt authenticate (can you believe this? they work at the boutique and they cant tell if a bag is real or fake!!) , but I knew it was a fake so I got a refund.
if you search around, there are some pre-owned gucci bags that are authentic..

Gucci fabric question

I am contemplating buying a gucci small zip hobo in black (bag below but in black) but i am wondering about the fabric. How well does it hold up and how easily does it stain? I am either going to purchase this gucci or a LV speedy 25 in monogram, could anyone help me?

 

[Jolie Laide]

Gucci bags are quite durable but I can't tell you about the stain issues because I generally only buy the black monogram, leather, or vintage (different material - similar to laminated fabric/vinyl).You should be able to hold a medium-sized wallet, medium sized cosmetics case, cell phone, slim-line digital camera, keys, and minor miscellaneous bits without distorting the shape too much.

 

[cloud9]

i dont know about the stain, but i have an old jackie bag and it has held up quite nicely.. i didnt use it everyday though...
if you wanna use it everyday... i suggest the lv speedy.
that bag, i can assure you... will last... for a long...long... time...

i see a lot of people hating the lv speedy nowdays but despite of being overexposed recently, that bag is a true classic and is VERY durable.

 

[meowmix]

well if you're looking for an investment piece i wouldn't suggest that gucci...
i really don't like the lv speedy in the monograms... maybe consider an epi speedy? they look very chic and are pretty durable, i believe much more so than the fabrics

My Gucci bags-HELP!

Hi all,


I bought two Gucci bags in the sale at the end of last year.One of them I have used a bit, but can only use it for work and the other (tote) even though it's absolutely gorgeous I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying as its quite big but I don't carry a lot of stuff to work plus once again it can only be used for work. So I'm stuck with two bags that I need to sell in order to get a more versatile bag that I can wear with both work and casual wear like a Balenciaga .Anyway please can you help me by suggesting where I can sell my bags other than the obvious Ebay.Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated

 

[TheSoCalledPrep]

why not eBay? you could always try craigslist or try to find a friend of a friend of a friend who may buy them

what are the two bags, btw??

 

[laineybugz]

I find ebay a bit long.I live in the UK can I still use craigslist?

These are pics of the bag:
