Hi there, no I didn't end up buying it. I was in London the other week and I saw the exact same in the Juicy shop, but I thought this was way too cheap to be real. It only went for £20 in then end!! Can you tell me why it is a blatant fake please??

Kind Regards

Yes of course! (and thank god you didn't buy it :))


-The first picture you see, the one of the front of the wallet. You can see on the lower right corner that something is wrong with the fabric. It looks like it was glued on, rather than sewn on.

-Same picture. The gold hardware looks very cheap and shiny. A genuine one would have kind of a ''matte effect'' to it.


°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°


-Second picture. The back of the wallet. Oh boy!! Look at the heart.. It's all weirdly shaped, something that Juicy Couture would never sell. There's stichings coming out of the J, the lines aren't straight, the heart is not 3d like it should be.

-Same thing is going on with the fabric (can you see the lines at the bottom? It should't be there, because real Juicy wallets are made from velour, not covered with velour. It just looks like they glued on a piece of velour-like fabric.)

-Again, same thing is going on with the gold hardware. The J zipper looks cheap and shiny (not to mention the very bad stiching job around the zipper opening!!)


°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°


-Third picture. These wallets should have ''Charge it!'' and ''Juicy Princess'' printed on the inside.

-The zipper pull is a J. It shouldn't be. It's just supposed to be a piece of leather.

-Shiny and cheap looking gold hardware.

-There's a missing divider.


And overall, it just looks cheaply made!! Juicy Couture is all about quality. Most of the time, fakes are made in the same factory as the real ones. That's why they can look very real... What's sad about this, is that the seller probably isnt't aware that she is selling replicas.


Do not hesitate if you need any more information!!

I've never seen a juicy purse like this before. Is it authentic?
Thanks ladies!

I would like to thankyou ever so much for you very detailed reply. I will definitely look for all these 'flaws' when searching. The one I had seen in the Juicy shop (the only one I want) I can't seem to find it in the online Juicy shop, I saw it on ebay and thought wow, but I thought it was too cheap to be real!!

Regarding your English (grammar etc) I would never had known if you hadn't said!!

Kind Regards
