Thanks.

Ana12 - would you please post the auction link if this was an auction

ccayers · Jul 10th, 2009, 08:43 PM

That is a good suggestion. And in fact, I already sent the buyer a photo of the original Barney's invoice, the original gift receipt and the hang tags.

If you can provide.. I'd like to see the link to the auction, as well as several clear close-ups of the hand-painting on different portions of the bag. And a close-up of the snap please...

Ana.. compare the chevron painting to this... I have never seen an auth Goyard w/ painting as sloppy as the photos you posted. Nor is the logo correct. What do YOU think..?

Just looking around the web for Goyard and trying to see what's available. There is one on eBay that looks pretty good to me...Click on the images to go to Vendio site to see really clear close-ups of stitching and printing. Whaddya think? Fake? Real? Plastic on the handles? I don't think that copying and pasting images from the auction would be all right, so please follow this link:

Let me know...The stitching looks pretty good (with the exception of what looks like the underside of the stitching on the handle to the left in the 3rd photo) and the printing looks clear, but I've seen some pretty nice stitching on some top-shelf Chinese fakes.

You have been a great help.

What should the chevron on the seams looks like for a St. Louis PM?... I see a lot of mentioning that the chevron doesn't look right... does anyone have a pic of authentic seams?

Please don't use the forum to defend authenticity.
You can settle this with your buyer outside of the forum. FYI It is against ebay rules to relist an item that is not in your possession.

Agree with AC, this Goyard is fake. It doesn't matter whether the seller provided invoice and/or receipt. Bait and switch can happend to both seller and buyer. Just based on those photos, this Goyard is fake.

This bag is in your possession? I thought you are the seller and already sold this bag to ana12. If you have it in your possession now, you could post more detail pictures here so our experienced Goyard tPFers could help to authenticate.

menopausalmama · Jul 12th, 2009, 04:31 PM

yes, please post more pictures....does ana12 have the bag (when she posted) or do you have more than one bag?

AC is excellent when it comes to Goyard bags.Please post more pictures for us.

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.

I am the winner of the 2nd auction in question and I received it today... I took these additional pics.. it looks real to me.. can you tell me what you think?
Thanks so much~
