It is hard for me to see the lilac tag font, if you could get additional photos of that feature as well as the key snap /zipper pull too, I could give you a better answer
Thanks - I'll request photos.

Thanks to this blog, I discovered the Ramona I bought on ebay was a BIG fake! I filed a Paypal dispute, and now the seller has escalated to a claim.
Anyone have any advice on how to prove the bag isn't the real deal?
Here is how I figured out it wasn't real:
1. The "Jimmy Choo" on the buckle is not in the right place (below the two screws, rather than centered directly between)
2. The "Jimmy Choo" font on the lilac tag is too wide and sloppy, not the thin neat lines you find on a real Choo
3. Under the Key Snap, there is an imprint that says "Yik Fung". I did a little research, and apparently this is the name of a common button manufacturer in Hong Kong.
4. The screws are not flat head.
5. The printing on the dust bag and card is too light and just inconsistent, i.e. darker in some places than others.
6. Altogether poor craftsmanship -- the strap which should fasten the bag is too short, making it difficult to close the bag.
As you all probably know, Paypal wants a letter certifying it is not real but of course the Jimmy Choo store will not be willing to do that. Any ideas on how I could obtain something to prove it's a fake?
Thanks in advance for your advice, this blog has already been SO helpful!
HATE it when that happens!!! Anyway paypal/ebay will ask you for an authenticate letter. If you are chummy with some sales associates at Nordies, maybe they can write you a letter. I know at Neiman, they are not allowed to do that. If you cannot get a letter, go to plan B. Plan B: let them know that you cannot get a letter because of policy, take PLENTY of photos of a fake and a real one NEXT to each other, mail the photos to them and wait. It takes a while but they will rule it in your favor. In the meantime, I hope you leave negative feedback to the seller. SO sick of these sellers who take huge amount of money for fake bags!!!! Good luck to you.

I emailed the seller for additional photos and didn't receive a response. The Ebay listing disappeared and now the bag is relisted again with a buy it now of $800 instead of a starting bid of $499 and seller is no longer accepting paypal due to the high fees. I guess I have my answer on it's authenticity.
Hi could someone please authenticate? thanks!
