I can assure you, this bag is 100% authentic, I do not buy nor re-sell fakes. I bought this bag at Neiman Marcus in Atlanta at Phipps Plaza. If it's a fake then they sold me a fake! You can send my name to whoever you want, sellers will see my feedback is impeccable and I do not sell fake items.

PS Do you live near an outlet, maybe you could go in and compare :graucho:

Found another thread from MayDay listing out how to tell the different between real and fake Flight:

http://forum.purseblog.com/dior/authentication-tips-67655-5.html

MayDay's post is on page 5. Notice the screw on the D hinge. Mine has a very small barely noticeable one:

I decided to do the needle test by Moon anyhow. Where the needle touched the plastic, it melted. I still didnt believe it so I tested it on the inner zipper pully as well, and now I have two melt marks. I plan on emailing the seller to let her know she sold me a fake purse, and see what happens then.

Thank you all for the help. You guys are great.

PS - I thought the auction with two front pockets is fake, all the Flight east/west bags I've seen have only one single pocket.

The screw (is it a screw??) you pointed out has definitely nothing in common with May's main authenthication detail. You can hardly notice a circle mark on your bag hinge, whereas May's fake shows a real screw.

And I agree - once more - with chic, this mark appears on the double pockets flight we posted as well. You can see below that this mark is completely different from an ugly screw...

Here is a couple of gaucho totes currently available on ebay.

A deep brown bargain. For Us only, though.

Where I circled, there's a actual flat raised circle. It's very very flat, but still a circle. It looks like as if someone put the screw in but sanded off the actual screw head until 1/10 of a MM remains on the surface. I don't know if that makes sense. :confused1:

I uploaded another picture:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c85/Elenriel/FlightOut7.jpg

The top circle shows the back of the top zipper, which says:

Christian
Dior

Paris

The second circle shows the location of this "bump". It's hard to see because it's barely there.

Thank you all again for your time and help. My husband keeps telling me to stop bothering you all over a "a pice of leather". I may make him sleep on the couch for insulting my purse like that! ;)

Hey everyone!

Don't buy this! I've seen this picture used many times before. The Gaucho in the picture is authentic, but the picture does not belong to this seller, which makes this auction very fishy.

The same pictures can be found here:

...and ioffer is known for selling fakes.

Are you sure this picture is authentic? Looks fake to me. The drop handle seems to be in weird proportions and the leather has too much shine.

... My apologies for not checking feedback out. I must admit I don't go that far as long as bag looks legit... It's definitely a mistake. People should ALWAYS check feedback first and mostly if they intend to bid!! Thanks for your reply, averagejoe ;)



... Here is a real double gaucho. From tPF member.

thats the zipped tote, so the handles have different proportions than with the magnetic one . As for the leather, i would say the shine is because of the way the pic was taken - look at the red tote we all know the colour and shine on the pic has nothing to do with gaucho red in real, yet the tote is authentic.:yes:
