As much as I'd like to say yes, the seller did not post clear enough close-up pictures of the logos. Also, the seller needs to prove that the hologram tag and card match.

JC- Found out this morning they are real- Took them to this boutique as the girl knows her stuff:

www.cricketliverpool.co.uk

She said they were 100% real. Said she could tell straight away.
Thanks for all your help though- Really appreciate it. xxx

Glad you got that sorted through. Shoes are very difficult to authenticate when you cannot see and feel up close and in person. Often times the best we can do is let people know that the style shown was made.

Hi,
The seller sent me some further photos but also this message:

"They show the zipper pull and mark in pocket, but also show close ups of logo inside and on zippers.
I do not have any "card" for this bag. This was a special purchase due to the broken zipper pull and I do not have any card or dustbag.
There is no hologram anywhere inside the bag. I know Chloe and some other couture bags use these stickers inside their bags, but
if you call a Jimmy Choo store, they will verify that they do not use the metallic stickers inside their bags.
I guarantee that this bag is authentic"

While I am well aware all sellers claim their wares to be Authentic, I would appreciate your final opinion of this bag - all things considered.
Thank you for the help
:flowers:

This bag should have a little white tag in one of the pockets. It is possible that the hologram has been removed from the tag, but the tag should still be there. The pics provided are still not close up or clear enough IMO. Can you get a clear close up of the lilac nameplate with the made in Italy showing. Also a pic of the Choo name on the removable strap thing. And ask about that little tag...if it's not there, I'd pass.

Yes, in fact I have the bag you are asking about, Stormyc, but in brown. I bought it from the Choo boutique in September 2009 and it has a plastic authenticity card (the size and thickness of a credit card) serial number as well as a hologram tag inside the bag with the same number. Jimmy Choo started to phase this program in in 2008. All bags should now have them. The seller is mistaken.

Wonderful :p

Thankfully I didn't even bid on it, there was something about the stitching and logos that also didn't seem right, but as always, I would have been utterly lost without your help!
Thank you very much for everything! :heart:
