I have this fabric in another item, and it has a satiny texture, and the black C's are raised up a tiny bit with a glittery velveteen texture, like flocking. Since you haven't seen it yet, maybe it isn't canvas, but your boyfriend just thinks it is. I would look at how the pattern is symmetrical when you look at it from the front and back, like in this listing, the c's are centered between the black straps. I wouldn't make any snap judgements though, until you see it in person, or if he can take pictures, you can post them here. You can also ask him if the C's have any texture.

That's exactly how he described the feel of the fabric. He sent me pictures but I can't get them off my phone for some reason. In the images he sent the pattern and C's match up at the seams way better than they do on that listed bag. The pattern is symmetrical on the front and back.

I'll see it soon and if there's still a question in my mind, I will post images here.

Thank you for your help!

The bag in the listing is fine but that doesn't mean anything concerning your bag.

In order to authenticate your bag, we need to see actual pictures of it.

As for the pattern, side and bottom seam matches are rare because of the way the fabric is cut during construction and the size and repeat of the pattern. Often it's impossible to get perfect matches.

Also note that some of the tartan plaid bags are yet another example of exceptions to the centered C pattern "rule."

Please post pictures when you get the bag and we can help you with it.

Thank you! I will post pictures if I see it in person and it still seems questionable.

Found some more photos of the genuine Madison and this one's definitely fake. The pleats are wrong, the Carriage plaque is the wrong color, and that hangtag doesn't belong with the wristlet since the color doesn't match but it also looks very badly made.

Please report if you can.

You're welcome. It seems very likely that it is authentic. Lucky you!

The first one appears to be fine.

I don't recommend seller #2, aj102010. The seller shills her listings.

Shill bidder won: http://cgi.ebay.com/B-Makowsky-NWT-...657?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2c5d659dd9

So it was relisted and shiller won again: http://cgi.ebay.com/B-Makowsky-NWT-...609?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2c5d8d9bf1

And here's the third time it was relisted and again, shiller won: http://cgi.ebay.com/B-Makowsky-NWT-...341?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2c5d8d96fd

Don't buy from aj102010.

Comments: I already won this, but can someone check to see if there is any shilling activity on this? I know it is hard to prove anyways but if nothing else it is a learning experience. Thanks!

No shilling. (It's nice to see an auction with honest bidding.)

Congrats on your win!

Thank you very much for the comment...

With aj10210 the coach item that I won , I don;t mind that I can take it, but I have no idea if the back is authentic.... hehe.. If you said it is not authentic, I am going to cancel the transaction... But if the bag is authentic, I have to complete for what I already bid ( don;t even know that she make 3 shilled ).
