Aw thanks. I've asked the seller for more pictures and where he/she purchased it from. I may just break down and buy something at Gucci's June sale, even though it'll have the red and green stripes.

Anyone know if these two Blondie's are fake? I assume the green one is since I've never seen one like that but I'm not so sure about the black. Thank you in advance!

Luxx, i'm 100% sure the black one is fake & 99% sure the green one is too...i've asked the seller to send me the serial # & she refused to answer my question & told me to pass up her auction

I went to Gucci with my bag and they said they are not allowed to authenticate bags. Does anyone know any other avenues to have a Gucci "bag" authenticated?

Thanks

Hi all, I'm a new member/first-time poster to the forum...

bjc, I have heard from many other bag-lovers that Saks is willing to authenticate purses. However, I think that also depends on how friendly your closest Saks SAs are.

I also had a question for those out there who own a Gucci Blondie bag...a few weeks ago, in a blind lust over this bag, bought one off eBay. I was not totally sure about it's authenticity at purchase, but it's on it's way to me now, and I have a bad feeling its a fake. Any help in authenticating would be appreciated. The auction # is 6879317900

guess i was lucky & was able to sweet-talk the gucci SA @ Saks fifth avenue nyc into checking my bag (it turned out to be a fake )...i'd go to a department store during off-peak hours (early AM or before closing)...i was also told they weren't supposed to do it, but they helped me anyway...i was able to get my $$$ back & eventually find the real thing on e-bay ...you can also post photos on this forum & we can try to help you out with it...the most important thing of all is making sure it has the right serial #

yikes, windykat, i'm so sorry to tell you this, but that isn't a real gucci blondie ...i know because the same thing happened to me...please PM me & i'll tell you all you need to know to find a real one...also, make sure you get the seller to refund your $$$...i e-mailed that seller recently & told them it was a fake bag

p.s. real gucci blondie's have serial #'s starting with 13

hmmmmmmmmmm, i'm not as familiar with that style gucci bag gingerB ...my advice would be to call up a gucci store & ask for the serial # associated with the bag...then contact the seller & ask for a photo of it...if they refuse, it's a pretty good indication they're hiding something
