Authenticate This Jimmy Choo (Please use proper format)

[_bella_]

Not really an auth message, but for the zipper experts
The tulita seller also has a ciggy on auction in the same metallic.
I'm wondering when the zippers went to the asymmetric diamond style in use on the outside of bags of the past year or so? Has that kind of zipper always been used?

The ciggy doesn't look like it's using that kind of zipper, and I found a fairly old bag yesterday on ebay that also didn't use the diamond zip and I wondered if JC has changed to the new one in the last couple of years?

OK, the thing that's been done to that Ring? That is sacrilege....whoever actually had the nerve to pick up that red marker and do what they did to that bag, for ANY reason...they are not a true Choo lover. Off with their head!!!!

I wouldn't buy that bag at any price....what a mess, and how sad.

That Ciggy is fake! I have a Ciggy and the inside has the traditional lilac tag and w/ the correct lettering and the zipper is definitely wrong IMO

I retract my previous comment on that bag. The Ciggy listed by the same seller is a Fake. Since this bag is the same color and same seller and the photos were not close enough to determine, I would say stay away from it.

What is it about the Ciggy that looks fake? Is the lilac plate font too thick? I guess I am just not seeing it. I've never seen this blue color, but the earlier brown Talia and Tayten is authentic (different seller). Thanks for looking out for me.

Def the font is Too thick for it to be real

Probably that's why there has been no taker for this bag. So this bag is literally worthless. Thanks again!

I think this looks fake. The leather seems wrong. Agree??

I agree , it looks really off from the top (too wide) & leather looks...... cheap

Sorry definitely fake - To the eye, the dimensions are totally off, the name plate is wrong and to me personally the quality/finish just looks off.
