Dear lovely experts,

I just won this auction on Ebay and I would like to know if the bag is authentic before I pay. The seller said that it is 10 years old!!? I know nothing about Isabella Fiore bags. Please help me! Do you think it is real? Your time and your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much

^^ This is the one I won

^^^ Won , paid and received this one. There is no tag inside to say what kind of material is used for the bag. Only found a Made in China tag, sewn onto the interior lining.

Then you should repost on this thread: Authenticate This LOUIS VUITTON. They can help you btter there

This is an Isabella Fiore that I really want. The bidding has closed, but the seller told me she would relist. Now instead of relisting, she wants to do it outside of ebay and sent me a paypal bill. I still want the bag but am a little leary. Here is the link:

Please let me know what you guys think...

Be cautious of anyone wanting to "Move" the deal outside of E-bay. If you and the seller have agreed on a price, and they are serious about selling it there should be no problem in listing a private auction to you on E-bay.

Paypal usually favors the buyer and NOT the seller but again, I would be cautious.

Is this bag authentic? Thanks

lace1 · Jul 11th, 2009, 07:26 PM

Oops, this is a Lockheart and not an Isabella Fiore. Sorry!

I hardly see Lockheart bags and I don't think there are knock-offs since they are a little less main-stream. That bag is friggin awesome!!!!

Help! I purchased this bag on Ebay and now I'm thinking it is not authentic Isabella Fiore. There is a tag inside that says Made in the USA and I just read here all are made in China. Can you tell me if this is authentic Isabella Fiore? Thanks for any info!

RXGIRL -- That bag is probably an older one, and Isabella Fiore started off in California, and bags from that time were all made in the USA with the label inside. Once they became more popular, and mass-produced they moved production to China like a lot of designers... to save $$ I am sure. I don't think the old IF bags were faked, so I am sure this one is authentic. I have a few older ones myself that have made in the USA labels inside.

No authentication needed actually, but can someone tell me the NAME of this bag? It doesn't have any sticker on the tag and I can't find it anywhere. Thanks :)

Is this an authentic Fiore Bag? TIA!
