I also see this http://www.taschen-welt.de/LeSportsa...o-Lakeside.htm

Thanks in advance for any replies.

so the bag you ordered is classic hobo? can you please post pictures of it?

They all look good to me

Are you deciding on which? I love the Adios Zucca

Of course, I'm biased since I own 5 Zuccas

But they are all lovely!

Jasmyn · Sep 8th, 2009, 10:33 AM

Thank you very much Miss Evy.

I appreciate it.

I'm with you. I love the the Adios Zucca and am planning to buy this baby and the Serena Discoteca.

I'm going to place orders now before they're gone.

Thanks again!

No problem

Enjoy your new bags!

The picture shown on the website was not the actual bag's photo and it only mentioned that it does not come with a matching pouch. I can't remember if they stated it was a showroom sample. In the end, I decided to email them and their director of IT replied, saying that they are LeSportsac, is that authentic enough? Oh well, case closed. Thanks for your help d1000!

Yes, that is what he said and I don't blame him. After all, the bag looks and feels real in every sense except for the metal parts which are plastic in the conventional hobo. I didn't even notice it if not for the buyer who hi-lighted the difference to me and requested that I prove this bag is authentic (I had to sell it and some others to buy a toki

). Anyway, I am just glad that I got a reply from LSS which I am able to forward to the buyer.

I am also positive that they only sell authentic bags as I have bought bags from them previously and they all looked like the ones sold in retail stores. However, that lakeside was my first and only classic hobo hence I had no idea it was "different" from conventional ones. Blame it on my "luck". Anyway, I haven't heard from the buyer after I forwarded his reply to her. Worse is, I would refund her in full and get to keep a one of a kind hobo

I just bought my first two tokidoki bags, and I didn't realize the fakes were such a problem. One I got at Macy's, and I was going to compare it to this ebay one. I bid before I knew there were so many bad one. What do you guys think? I understand I should check the zipper when it arrives.

I think it looks good from the pictures, but I would definitely still check under the zipperhead for the "RIRI" stamp when you get it.

Has anyone every bought from "http://www.ioffer.com/"? This seller is selling cheap tokidoki bags, from the pictures, it looks real, but the price is highly questionnable. Can someone confirm please?
