Hello!

With the holiday season approaching, let’s discuss a trend we’ve seen pop up on resale markets.

Counterfeit Florentine bags

Yes, they're real, and they're not spectacular.

I think the majority of us here can spot a fake. We just wanted to spread awareness on this.

@mushroomNgrass found this suspicious listing and asked about it in the authentication thread. The last comment on this listing says the bag is fake.

Resharing this image from BeenBurned in the authentication thread.

After a reverse search, it led me to some sites where shells of the Flo bags are being sold.


As you can see on this site, there's a blank area for the logo.

 
they took a fake down off of mercari so I can't post the link but look at this... just look at it. Dooney does NOT do that
next time ill get ALL the pics before they take the fake post down
the stitching is atrocious and the handles are not right

Not a dooney zipper… atrocious stitching in white, not gold/yellow. No green suede on tassels. That’s not a dooney key keeper, either it’s the same color in leather as the bag or it’s the nylon with same leather near the clasp
