Authentic IMO.
Date code is just a serial number, placed on the bag by the manufacturer.

Hi there! You are right! This does look fake . I would need clearer straight on pics of the front and the logo to be sure, but the chevron looks VERY off even in the blurry photo.

They actually aren't simple at all though, IMO! The canvas on an authentic bag is hand painted...every last dot is strategically placed. That means a lot of work and alot of $$$!

Good luck on your hunt!

This one I need better photos of. Based on the symetry of the chevrons at the seam it is likely fake IMO.
I'd need a close, clear pic of a painted logo, the seam where the base hits the front, the seam where the sides come together, and a clear pic of the front of the bag.

Thank you AmourCouture, I'm not familiar with the in's and outs of this brand so I appreciate the help. I don't want to purchase a fake!

I am happy to help !

I´ve bought this bag and I´m thinking now it´s a fake. Since the seller offers refund if I prove it fake here, I´m asking for your help!
Thanks.

Hi! You were right to be suspicious! This bag is fake
If you purchased it on eBay or other online sites feel free to request help with your refund in the eBay subforum.
Good Luck!

I am the seller of this bag, and it is not fake. I have the original hang tags, the Barneys online web receipt and a Barneys gift receipt--all from when I purchased the bag in July of 2005. Just wanted to set the record straight--

In my opinion the bag in those photos is fake based on what I know about the St. Louis style, symetry, and quality of the painted logo. If you'd like to provide verification of otherwise then you can take that up with your buyer and set the record straight. This forum is for opinions on authenticity, and I simply provided mine.

A good suggestion would be to provide an original sales receipt with the purchase or a Barney's invoice. That way you aren't relying on opinion's of a forum when you have other hard evidence to prove your point or offer a return policy. I can see for your auction that you listed it as final sale and it looks like with only 1 photo. That would be helpful. JMHO.
