EBay - If someone could please advise their opinion on this auction, I would greatly appreciate it. Bag was purchased on EBay Australia item number - 290308527366. Kind regards, Joyce

""The lining of the bag is the smaller one on the merged photo. I've done a thorough search and there are no serial numbers, holograms or even tags. What other photos were you looking for?
As to quality.....I'm not familiar with this type of bag, but it looks great to me. It's sturdy and appears well-made. The lining is a good quality soft silky, satiny fabric, not plastic. All the seams inside are bound so the lining is secured to the bag, not loose. The colour of it is black. I just now took photos (one with flash and one without) of the binding on the double side seams, so will include them.
Both sides of each silver zip pull say Fendi * Roma* Italy * 1925 * (The asterisks represent the stars between each word).
That's about all the detail I can think of to give you.""" (from seller)

Don't want to have to pay $257.50 for a fake. :(

The bag will have a serial number embossed in silver or gold ink in the lining of the bag or in the inside pocket if it has one. We need to see clear, close up photos of this serial number, as well as clearer photos of the entire bag itself and it's lining.

I think it's most likely fake. But I'm not certain.

Thanks for letting me know. The last one even says it's authentic! I actually just emailed the seller and she said it's authentic and that she bought it a boutique in Aspen. Why do you think it's not authentic?

IMO it could be authentic (though if it is query why she is selling for $50?). We would need to see more pics of the bag such as quality shots of the hardware, hologram, leather serial strip, and authenticity card.
