Hi! Sorry to tag on this thread....don't be mad :) But for some reason I cannot post a new thread says I'm not authorized? I've been a member for years but haven't posted a thread before. I'm in a dispute with a seller off ebay who I believe has sold me a fake bag. I have the link for your reference. My main question would be, has there ever been an authentic "Burberry metal logo" with a "Frame around it" on the front of a Nova Check tote? I have an "******************" certificate that the seller sent me but the quality seems iffy and looks like parts are glued ie zipper pull came apart, the handles don't seem to be leather. The "made in Italy" tag seems cheap, there are no serial numbers (but I understood that not all older bags have a serial number?) Anyhoo....can somebody let me know pretty please? Ps. I know, I know it was too cheap to be real but with the certificate and good feedback I thought I was lucky!

This is an authentic bag

It is old (er) - from like, 2000? or 1999? Maybe I can tell if you show me the back of the Made in Italy tag.

What I say about these (vintage) bags is CHECK THE CORNERS.

hi again!!! Thanks so much for your help!! Here are the pics of made in italy tag etc.

I thought it was fake cause i found this on a site about the "frame" around the metal logo??:

http://spotfakehandbags.com/fakeburberry.html

below is an image of a fake burberry pattern. Here is an example of a dramatic pattern shift.
[note] the red vertical stripe on the flap does not align with the red stripe below it when the flap is closed (pictured below). Also note the three blue stripes on the left are aligned. Meaning if you were to shift the flap to align the red stripe, the blue stripes would no longer be aligned. If every stripe is not aligned on the pattern, then this is a good sign that the burberry bag is a fake.
also, the label has a frame around it which no authentic burberry will have.


[image of a fake burberry pattern] i can't seem to insert but it's on the link...it's exactly same frame that is on front of my bag?

(i've also attached more pics)

Guides are so tricky to write - especially for Burberry - for almost every rule, there might be an exception.

If I go upstairs, today or tomorrow - I might take some photos of my bag that is like yours. It is a coated canvas nova check like yours - frame around the name plate.

and remember - the fakes try to IMITATE the original, hence the frame around Burberry - imitating OLDER style of burberry.

If you are not happy with the bag - return it - send it back as "ITEM not as described."
her description did not accurately show the corners, the peeling leather - the extent of the wear to the handle.

On the other hand, if you want a classic piece of vintage Burberry, keep it.
