Thanks heyyeah. I know the ones currently listed online are a different version of this bag. Really, the only thing that has thrown me is the leather. Sorry to be a broken record here...

And it actually did come with the metal zipper pulls in a small envelope. But the bag came with the leather ones on it. And not wanting to alter the bag in any way, I didn't change them out.

When I get home I will look for the etching.

Of course this isn't a guarantee, but it's a pretty small and REALLY difficult detail to notice or copy..?

Also attached is a picture of my newest seasonless pashli with the textured leather. The texture is pretty similar to yours.

So, my bag does have the etching... not sure what that means. I ordered the new jade Pashli with strap from PL to compare to my bag. I know they're not exactly the same but I'm hoping I will be able to either tell if mine is a fake or real from the comparison. It will be arriving today.

Well I hope the one you already have is genuine! Such a pretty bag to be fake :nogood:

I love my new black pashli with the strap (even though I don't use the extra strap). So maybe you'll end up keeping the new one?

Let us know what happens

So my jade Pashli from 3.1 PL arrived today to compare to my eBay purchase. Keeping in mind mine has scallops and the current season has smooth edges, everything else checks out. The only detail that is different is the "made in china" tag. The new one from PL does not have it. I've attached images from the older Pashli. Ladies, if you own a past season Pashlis, does your bag have this??

I can only speak for my very new pashli. It does not have the made in china tag. I find it doubtful a real one would have that... :sad:

That's probably the biggest red flag for me.. try and find someone with an older one (aka scalloped edges). Their bag would be the best to compare to.

I can make sure this is a fake replica bag. Just in case paypal needs me to prove. I bought this from ebay au. The seller is rude after I request for refund.
It smells like hell! i think it is not real leather but PU leather! Inside is different! very hard leather, not tender! Please Please help me!
thank you!. Seller only uploaded one picture! asked her to add but she told me something wrong with her camera and computer! It was an excuse now I know!
If I present the result from purse forum, does it count as the proof as authentication of counterfeit (fake bags)?Please check out my attachments! can you see the pictures?

Hi, there's a guide in the ebay forum here: http://forum.purseblog.com/ebay-forum/bought-a-fake-please-read-here-659751.html

See first and second post for how to proceed.

Hope it helps.

I think you have to ask in the ebay forum http://forum.purseblog.com/ebay-forum/

but probably only the total that was charged through paypal, but I'm not sure. You have to provide receipt for the tax, for claiming it I think.

Hi,I just checked. The letter of non authenticity is really expensive! Almost the price I bought this bag. But I don't know if email authenticity or non authenticity is enough for PayPal claim?

Do you have a local PayPal number to call? Perhaps ask them about it, if you really need this expensive letter?

Hope it works out.
