Item Name:$1,700 JIMMY CHOO THIGH-HIGH LEATHER BOOTS 38.5 / 8.5
Listing number: 270522547890
Seller name or ID: malvinas_luxuries
Working Link:http://cgi.ebay.com/1-700-JIMMY-CHO...ItemQQptZUS_Women_s_Shoes?hash=item3efc667eb2

This seller is a top-rated seller but it seems suspicious that she has many of the same items in different sizes and at such good prices!
I would really appreciate an authentication. Thanks in advance!

With footwear it is almost impossible to tell. When I see multiples like you mentioned, it is a red flag. But we do not know if this seller bought the inventory of a shoe boutique that went out of business. I really wish I could help you.

Okay, thanks so much for your help all the same! I guess I will reconsider the purchase! :smile1:

I got this one and there was a little back and forth on the authenticity, and I have now received the item and the pictures I have added are my own. I would be SUPERgrateful if the authenticators could have a look at them and give me their opinion.

Thank you SO much in advance!

And the last ones.
Sorry for all the pictures, but I really want to be sure about this one....

Sorry, but i *HAVE* to add som more.
Some of the seams on the handle are worrying me - would the work be so sloppy on a real Choo? Please advise....

This is so odd to me. I would almost say with certainty by looking at your pics of all the hardware and nameplate that this bag is OK. The seams on the handle, tho...this almost looks like a factory reject or something. I have never seen something like this from Choo. Anybody else????

You know, that thought struck me too.... I don't mind that horribly, but i would mind horribly supporting a counterfeit business... so the seam is not do or die for me, but the authenticity is...

I have to agree those last pictures really make me question the bag as real!
I just don't think Jimmy Choo would sell a bag like that.
Selling item with defects would blemish the whole line and quality that they strive to achieve to keep their price at a premium.
The only way I could see that bag like that being sold like that is if it was NOT DESTROYED at the Jimmy CHoo Facility when it was supposed to be as I'm sure blems are treated there.
Remember we are not talking Coach or Dooney's here!
I just have never seen any seconds or blem Jimmy Choo's.
Just My Thoughts.
