there must be atleast one nightingale owner out there, this is such a yummy bag. . . .

I have never bought a givenchy bag before so any help at all would be great. thanks!

fake...

the same seller also has a fake black patent listed right now.

You know what, I'm always uneasy when the seller won't type the full 'Authentic.' It's been my experience that the ones I always question authenticity for always type 'Auth.' I don't know how prevalent the counterfeiting of this bag is, though.

^ the fakes of this bag are just starting to surface. the scary thing is that they look pretty much completely identical to the real deal, so it's hard for someone who isn't totally familiar with the givenchy bags to know what's what.

Learn something new everyday! I must say, the counterfeiting detail has gotten much much better (and for us, it's obviously a worse situation) that I just find it altogether better to shop at the actual store.

Just wondedring if anyone can tell me if this bag is authentic or fake.
The seller said she would send the receipt from Barneys with the bag but receipts can also be forged. Please help. I really appreciate it. TIA

BTW, the last pic with the Ostrich handles is take from a website NOT a pic of the actual bag.

i wouldn't trust it. all the nightingales up on ebay right now are fakes. i've actually only ever seen 3 authentic ones for sale.

I guess, you are right, Brian. I passed on that one because the seller gave me a rude reply when I asked if I could see the receipt from Barneys first. That said it all in terms of authenticity. Besides, who would sell such a new bag that just came out and retails for over $1000 for less than half of the retail price? Very suspicious. I'll still keep checking out ebay and hope to find an real one.

Do you remenber how much the three authentic ones went for? Just curious.

And some unsuspecting people paid a lot of money for these fake bags.

Hey ladies! I just purchased this Givenchy nightingale medium bag and I have a bad bad feeling about it. THe Givenchy logos are a bit lopsided and the leather doesn't look like how it looks in celebrity photos. Please check it out and let me know what you think! and COPIES of receipts are easily forged right?
Thanks I really appreciate it girls

if you bought it on ebay, it's not authentic, sorry...

Aren't there any authentic nightingales on ebay at all? Come to think of it, most prices are too low. Can anyone tell how to spot a fake one? Sorry, I couldn't be of any help myself but I almost also bought one off ebay and now I'm thinking twice.

I think this is a bag that is really difficult and even almost impossible to copy because no matter what the fakers do, the real bags have this very distinct way of FALLING or rather DRAPING on the wearer. I've seen a number of authentic Nightingale bags in real life and they tend to fall FLAT, when the wearer carries them the bags look very angular and very thin, even if it's a slouchy bag. The bags don't open up.

The fake ones just don't fall the same way. Hard to explain but you know it when you see it in real life.

I agree that like 90% of the Nightingale bags on EBay are fake, sorry. The prices of these bags are now going higher and higher so why would someone sell them for $500?
