Authenticate This! YSL!

gr8heart · Sep 3rd, 2008, 11:36 PM

Hi SuSu!

I think both bags look OK. I checked the 1st bag's ID # and it seems OK. Here is the website for your reference:
http://www.checkstockonline.com/YSL_ECBK.htm
The bag is at the bottom of the page.
#2 bag looks good, but I would encourage you to look at this website:

Hi Scraps!

Even though the pic of the tag is fuzzy, the bag seems authentic. I encourage you to establish contact with the seller to ask about the condition of the bag inside and out: tears, marks, scratches, discolorations, stains, etc.

Also, the seller wants the money deposited to an email address...is that OK? I thought all payments should be done through eBay, so they can offer buyer protection. If shipped to the US, will there be any custom fees in addition to the shipping fees?

I lost out on one of these last week. I've read a couple previous posts that members have seen fake Mala Mala bags, although I thought the horn bags were difficult to fake, so I could use some expert eyes on this.
Seller quickly sent two additional photos and listing also carries $2,000 paypal protection.
Thanks so much!

I have not seen these IRL, but the pic of the inside tag seems authentic and so does the lining. Is it a handbag or does it fit over the shoulder? I would also ask the seller about the general condition of the bag: scuffs, scratches, marks, discolorations etc. inside and outside of the bag. The seller seems OK, too (doesn't make it a habit of selling YSL bags and doesn't have private listings.)

Hi Mk2000!

Wow. I have never seen this lining or tag before

. It's a very nice bag!
I would definitely establish communication with the seller to ask for additional pics (close-ups) of the tag (front and back) and lining.

I see the seller has an LV speedy 25 and you can ask the folks at the LV forum to see if it is authentic. They will respond quickly and we can feel a little better about this bag. I would also ask the seller to clarify the dimensions and the general condition of the bag.

Thanks liz! I will head over to the LV forum and get some more info from this seller and what they sell.

I'm searching for a red leather bag and when I came across this one I feel in love. The only problem is I don't know very much about YSL and I don't want to be tricked.

Here's the link and I appreciate your help :)

Hi Virenda!

This looks like a well-used YSL downtown replica. The inside is wrong and the tag is way off. Also, the seller never states the bag is an authentic YSL bag and has other listings of replica bags.

I understand your search for a red leather bag!

I want one, too!

Hi Beauxgoris!

This looks like a very well-used bag for the starting price. Notice the dark, worn look of the leather around the 'O' rings that attach the handles, pic #7. The tag and lining look OK, but are the zippers really "riri"?

Perhaps the seller can take additional pics of the key and key pouch and tell you more about the general condition of the bag: scuffs, marks, stains, discolorations, scratches, etc.

Just wanted to say a quick that you!!!

The reason I had pause was because she was selling a fake/inspired handbag and that made me suspicious.

Thank you again for your quick response. It never occurred to me that she never stated authentic.
