Hi CruiseW and welcome to TPF!

I am so sorry, but seller MERSLY has just sold another FAKE tribute. Notice the big tag, which is conveniently distant and the shiney lining that appears more like nylon than satin. We have been keeping an eye on Mersly for a while now. Please look at the Hall of Shame thread here on the YSL forum.

Please, please report Mersly for selling fake YSL bags.

I have already reported them to eBay and as I mentioned have and escalated claim with Paypal.

I do have the purse in my posession the interior is satin but I question the zippers ..I thought they would have said YSL on them (not Larro or lampo can't quite make it out).

The "Y" on the tag looks like a brushed metal as opposed to smooth and clean. More than anything the purse has quite a strong odour.

The seller has asked me to send it back and they will refund .....Paypal says escalate the claim as they want to get involved whenever it involves counterfeit goods.

I am taking the handbag to a store than sells YSL and hope that they will be able to confirm for me.

This is such a great and informative website, I only wish that I had known about this website a month earlier.

Thank you for all your help !! And if anyone needs info ever on Chanel I would be more than happy to share my extensive knowledge with them.

Hi Jayrun and welcome to TPF!

This bag does not look authentic. The tag looks off, the hardware very shiney and the "leather" looks very wrinkled and plasticy.

Hi Whitelamb and welcome to TPF!

Please stay away from this item and report the seller to eBay for selling fake YSL bags!!!

This seller has deceived TPF members in the past and we have been keeping an eye on him/her for a while. Please refer to page #162 of this thread, post #2423 to view the latest deception this seller has been involved in. Or just google shop4u23 and you will see our comments.

Also, notice this awful, very fake inside tag:

Thanks GR8heart! Thanks for yr advice. Appreciated it! Not an expert in authenticity (have a muse but haven't even started using it). Will report the seller. Guess I can just really forget the idea abt buying from eBay... there are just way too many fakes. Now i kindda need to find a way to withdraw my bid.

Liz, thanks for helping others from making a mistake. Everytime I see her (she is from NYC) postings I let everyone know on this thread that she deceived me with fake white muse that I was at least able to return. Have been keeping an eye on her. She has sold 2 since (the same white one and a brown one) and a gucci med britt. Even more suspicious, her postings and bags are almost identical to gbme1, already well identified in the Hall of Shame. TPF'S BEWARE.

You should report it to eBay as a fake. They should shut down the listing.

Hi all. I posted this bag last week and a helpful member told me that she hadn't seen one like it before, but I should do a seller search on the forum, which I have done, but I'm still undecided. Has anybody else seen a similar bag before (they seem to come in so many shapes and sizes it's mind boogling). Or can anyone else offer an opinion on authenticity. Any would be welcome cos I've gotta make my mind up soon.
This bag has been relisted - it was on last week for £305.

Were you the winner? I see the auction has ended.
