Hope this helps some edge907
Here is the link to my Red Maddy I purchased in May. I am not as good with the zipper details, but it might give you a place to start for comparison. Samantha would be able to answer the questions about the zippers

Meet Maddy............

Ok, I guess I should have pointed out the glaring issues. The nameplate on the front is black..should be blue like the bag. The nameplate is not straight and the font on both plates is way off.(too thick) There is plastic wrapped around the handles! Dead giveaway. The gros grain ribbon is cheap looking, with out the little scallops.

Kunming, welcome to the Choo forum. This thread is only for Fake Maddy/Mahala questions. That Maddy is long sold out. There is a current one in Poppy Red. Call any Choo boutique and they will find one, or go to JimmyChoo.com and it they have it.

Why does eBay let all these fakes to be sold and they often ban the people with genuine bags
