Anyone know how to autheticate Thomas Wylde's scull tote?

[MissM]

I am still in love with Thomas Wylde's Scull tote from 2006 - but know that these bags have been copied like crazy...

Does anyone has any tips - on how to know if it's the real deal??

Thanks in advance

Arh, just realized I missed a key in the heading... :shame:

TW is one brand I really wouldn't buy off eBay, 99% of it is fake. Best to look to resellers like Ann's Fabulous Finds to see if they have anything

 

[MissM]

I know... It's evil - this one is not on ebay - but still.... Hmmm... But you do not have any tips with regards to what to look for. I think a lot of them are obvious fakes - but I just miss that style number - or something else like that to look for...

 

[MissM]

It looks and feels gorgeous - but I have been searching a lot to make sure that it is a keeper...

 

[MissM]

I was hoping some tpf'er might have an idea??

Have you got a picture of the lining? It's generally the lining that's the giveaway on the fakes.....that and the stupid prices

 

[MissM]

I'll get that! And post asap... This one is not a give away - but not as expensive as back in 2006 - but it has also been used a lot.. I just don't want to waste my money..

How much is it being sold for? Bear in mind that it was a $2000 bag

 

[MissM]

I know it was!! That is why I am so picky about it. But I will get back when I get more pictures.

 

[MissM]

Finally some extra pictures.... Hope someone kan identify if its good or bad.. TIA!!

Sorry - the pictures were HUGE - will be back in a sec..

I hope someone is great at this - 'cause it really looks like the copies of these bags are a bit too close to the original

 

[mooks]

Sorry it's fake, the lining is far too shiny and not silk plus the stitching is really poorly finished

 

[MissM]

Thank you so much! I have been so tempted to get this bag!! -But don't want no fake!!
