No way of telling with that kind of picture. Definitely need to request interior shots! Lining, tag inside pocket, etc.
It does look authentic from those pictures. That is the original retail and the color code on the tag does match up because that color is called "cie", which is their tomato red color. If you really wanted to make sure you could request to see a close up of the interior tag.
I would not trust a seller yet with only 11 feedbacks. Especially on a higher end item.
One photo is inadequate. You need interior pics to clearly show the font, the authenticity label (sewn in a seam), and a photo of the underside of the "handle/strap" would be helpful.
This is a toughie. I thought they had the "one bad bunch of bags" scandal behind them but if it's happened again recently with more than one brand, I really don't know. On the Prada board, Prada Psycho, who I respect, mentioned some Prada deals on Bluefly, and I thought, "Oh good, they're legit again", but to hear about recent problems......
boxermom, beauxgoris: Thanks for the feedback. I'm wary of Bluefly now given the recent fakes. Unfortunately, they are the only online retailer I know of that sells BV at a discount. I was hoping that the woven leather would make it hard to fake a BV, but I guess fakers can be resolute too.
