This Mahala looks good IMO
Robyn, thank you very much. Now what to do... I'm looking for a possibility that JC sell Mahala at discout price but it might be a slim chance.
I just got a marin in electric blue. I think the easiest way to tell a fake is the zippers. Authentic Choo zippers on this bag, mahala, maddy, & marcia are intricate with a little diamond shape in the center. Here are pics of mine.

Thank you so much, its funny because I probably never would have noticed the pattern in the zipper until you mentioned it to me. I will be looking for this shape on the zippers whenever I check ebay or any othe site. I absolutely love your electric blue marin, the colour is amazing. Do you have any suggestions as to who may still have them in stock?
I just found this one on ebay

Its hard to see the zippers, but am I right in saying that it is a fake?
IMO it is a fake. I e-mailed this seller to ask who they worked for where they did so many photo shoots with Choo bags...no answer. I don't know why e-bay allows this! My bag was $1250. Who would sell one for $199?
I don't think you will find this bag in this color, but ask Robynbenz to get in touch with her SA Casey...if anyone can find it, she can!
this seller has sold and is selling a TON of the fake marin bags. i asked her where she got them and below is what was sent;
Here is the skinny on my bags.
I work for a Division of CanWest Media we produce Entertainment Tonight Canada and other shows as well we just recently acquired Alliance Atlantis Studios which produces Movies.
We have a Wardrobe dept that receives items from Designers and Retailers who want their items on our Shows & Movies and on-line purchases made by our on set stylists.
After they have finished with them the Wardrobe dept sells them off to employees, hence I can not officially say what the original origin of my bags are as I did not purchase from a retail outlet and am not an official distributor of the items I sell. However in my mind this is an authentic item. Some times the items are never used on the shows so are in absolutely new condition. So for the price my bags are an outstanding buy.
I have never had any complaints about the items I have sold as all buyers have been very happy with their purchases and prices of my items.
As far as shipping goes I always mark my packages as Gifts with a low dollar value to avoid duties and Taxes for buyers.
Thank you for considering my auction.

if you e-mailed her, she admits the bag is fake. she says it's okay for her to sell it because all the other marins on ebay come from the same distributor... ugh.
smithkellylynn - good news for you, not ALL ebay sellers are selling fakes, but MOST are
As for your 3 clutches, number 1 & 2 look good to me
A second opinion might be helpful, but the lilac tag font looks right on. The other key points might be best for others to pipe in as I am not as familiar with the clutches. Number 3 is a FAKE
Just be careful when you are looking because if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Feel free to post anytime and someone will be happy to assist!
Hello,
I hope you all are having a nice weekend.
I think this is fake...but I wanted to confirm with the experts (haha!). I think the lilac metal label font is too thick to be authentic - is this correct? Also, I think the round button is not centered as it should be and the dust bag appears to be fake(?)
Any assistance or guideance would be truly appreciated! Thanks!
it's fake. see the reply to my post (#3).

thank you for the quick response! i'll keep my hopes up... maybe i'll end up with both the marin and the troy!
Thank you so much for the info jmcadon!! Finding this website has been a total blessing! I just think about all the times I almost bought something without even knowing if it was authentic or not. I will definitely get in touch with Robyn.
HELP! Is this a real Jimmy Choo bag that I purchased (but didn't receive yet)??? The description at designexposure.com states:
"Jimmy Choo Lizard Handbag - Fabulous Multi Coloured It Bag In Purple Red & Tan Crocodile-Beautiful!" [Emphasis added.]
I've never seen this bag anywhere else before. If you know anything about this bag or if you've never seen it before and you know all the Jimmy Choo bags, please get back to me. All help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I have not had any personal expeience with the company, so I can not say if they sell authentic items, but this style was from a couple of years ago and there are a few JC members who have posted photos of theirs. It is a beautiful bag and I would imagine once you receive your bag, if you post photos, we can tell you for sure if the bag is authentic. If it turns out to be a fake, then hopefully you can return it quickly for a full refund.
