Addy, thanks for your help. I still felt weird about the pics the seller posted of the tag and requested he send close ups of the thread that is used to sew the tag on. In my experiece, the tag should be sewn on with fuchsia thread for this stole. No? He claims this stole has been in the dustbag since it was purchased from LV and never worn. So I just wanted to see the thread. He sent me the attached pics. TWO diff colors of thread are used on the stole, brown on one side and fuchsia on the other??? Clearly LV does not use two different color threads to attach the tag to the stole ever, do they? I'm not saying that the stole is fake, but I find it hard to believe never worn, as the tag appears to be re-attached... at least on one side... using the wrong color thread (kind of like to "blend" it in with that side of the scarf) and the tag seems to be crooked. This just seems suspect to me. Thoughts????
