^^ Yeah, strangely, her Lucy looks good. She does mention she bought the Claudia at some boutique. I've seen many a fake from a boutique. You think she'd realize the leather is different on the two when in fact they should have the same leather (my black lucy and claudia are exact except for styling obviously - same era).

^^^ Uh oh. It's got more than one bid now. Exactly why I wish there were better pics. These folks aren't seeing what the leather really looks like. Then again, if they aren't questioning why the name plate is on the outside or why the leather (what they can see) doesn't look like the lucy she has up...they must not really be that well versed in older Koobas.

Someone is going to get that Lucy for 120 bucks??? I hour to go. But from her feedback I wonder if she actually sends it. Maybe her bad feedback is keeping people from bidding on what looks like a pretty nice Lucy.

I missed it, I was curious to see how much that sold for.

KoobaMe · Jun 25th, 2008, 03:07 PM

Oh my god - did it sell for that? I would have been tempted to pick it up as a spare to my beloved black Lucy!!

Hi KoobaMe, Thanks for the Ink advice.

I don't have a lucy but love the look of it. I am anxious to see what the new studded bags look like IRL.

Lexie2000 · Jun 26th, 2008, 12:26 AM

It sold for 151.00. The bag looked great but the seller looked like trouble.

Saw this on Ada on ebay and was tempted but wary of the low BIN.

Googled bag and found the same pic at a website that in small print at the bottom says the bags are "not the real deal!" The leather looks smooth to me. What do you think?

Very Fake. All Ada's have a texture (some milder that others) but never smooth.

Lexie2000 I actually read on old post of yours about the textured leather of Jillian and Ada. You saved me from buying that fake!!!!! Thank you!

Lexie2000, some additional pics were added to the Ada listing. It sold at $199 or some such. Please comment on this listing for the education of us all.

Thanks.

I'm no expert, but the new pics look authentic to me. Maybe the seller got the first pic online.

I don't know what the deal is there but that seller was some dumb bunny. The first stock photo is of a fake Ada. The others look real. Were they her pictures or was she just crazy enough not to know she had a fake bag in her main stock photo.

And Oracle. My decision was based on one Fake stock photo that was there at the time. And on that call I was correct.

jlp · Jul 1st, 2008, 07:17 PM

How strange. Why would someone not post good pictures of such a desireable bag from the get go.

sarah_bananas · Jul 2nd, 2008, 06:18 PM

Does anyone know how to tell if this bag is fake or not? I'm thining about buying, but now I'm nervous!
