Thank you! I have seen it IRL and the leather is soft. There was Smoke colored one at eLuxury last year and I missed out on it so I think I'll try to get this one!!

^^ authentic..

as I always say for the rasta print, besides for the scuff that they mention, make sure to check with seller that none of the paint is peeling off..

It's authentic, but it doesn't look like it's in the best condition. There appears to be a lot of scratching on the bottom of the bag and it looks like there is some scratching on the front pocket, it also looks like there is some scratches on the brown leather...you might want to see if you can track one of these down at an Off 5th or NR.

knasarae · Mar 24th, 2008, 11:59 AM

^^ I agree. There appear to be several areas on the bottom of the bag as well as the front where the print is scratching off. At first I thought it was just the light but I see the same spots in all the photos. I'd pass on that one.

LewLew · Mar 27th, 2008, 10:58 AM

I didn't realize there might be counterfits of these made already! I am desperate for this bag, saw it at Off 5th around Xmas and didn't have the money and am kicking myself now. Could someone take a look and tell me what they think? Thanks..................

real..

you can probably try to call around off 5th for a better deal.. they probably still have em.. doesn't have to be the one near.. cause they do charge send..

LewLew · Mar 27th, 2008, 11:22 AM

Thanks for looking at it for me! I'm in Houston, there's a HUGE Off 5th right near me......I may check there if I get a chance. Things are so crazy I may just suck it up and buy this one. I must ponder..........

lefogle · Mar 28th, 2008, 09:17 PM

Can someone please help me! I really want to purchase a bag on e-bay but have had a bad experience. My girlfriend swears by e-bay so I know there are some good deals out there. Any experts or for sure ways to spot fakes? Can anyone tell me it this purse if real or fake? Thank you very much!

^ Real, and very cute!

The new Lux bags are not really faked (yet), but if you are trying to find a bag from the old Lesportasac line, that's a whole other story...

lefogle · Mar 28th, 2008, 10:55 PM

Thank you very much for your help

. So...how can you tell? What specific things should you look for?

Check out this website and you can see some really horrific, obvious fakes of the old bags.
http://www.hugemassif.com/lamb_lovers/fakes.html#bags

These are soo obvious, but if you keep an eye out on ebay you will find it is about 75% fakes for the lesportsac bags (not to mention the clothes

). The things that I notice that say fake are, first and foremost, the seller. If they have tons of NWT hella hobos in the black and white WDMLG print, then yes, it is fake. The red Lesportsac tags are dead giveaways too. The letters that spell lesportsac are supposed to be very close to one another, but the fakes have the letters spaced out more. The lamb charm is never supposed to be attached to the zipper either, but some sellers have realized this and will move the charm to where it's supposed to be. The nylon material of the fakes is shinier too, and the typeface that goes across the bags is way off...it just looks wrong. I hope this helps, I know it is kind of hard to tell for someone who hasn't checked out the bags a lot, but if you ever have a question you can post it here.

Whew, sorry! That was really long!

I wanted to add that what I've typed isn't even everything, some people know a lot more. But again, if you ever have a question about authenticity I am sure we can all help you out.
