I'm sorry to say but this one is a definite fake.:tdown:

1) the leather inside looks plastic-y and should be smooth leather
2) the "Hello?" on the pocket does not look right, it is spaced out too much and looks almost like a different font
3) ^^^ the "Hello?" should NOT be written on that pocket. It should only be written on the pocket that holds your phone. It seems to look like both pockets say "Hello?" which is not correct.
4) The larger pocket should say "SHOP!"
5) the green leather trim looks inexpensive whereas real Juicy uses higher quality leather
6) The label being mis-sewn is a definite indicator of a fake...I have never seen Juicy purses with a pink label like this unless that was the only defect, but even then I have never seen one like this.

Ahhhh, there is actually Hello? on all THREE pockets. :crybaby:It does look wrong. And the I am the fairest. has bled a bit red on the strap. I see now that it is a fake. The Hellos look red-er, not black.

I really thought two of my bags - this one and the grey one are original. I'm really devastated.

Thank you for taking the time to straighten this out for me! :hugs:
 
I'm sorry - this one does not look good to me either.
The inside stitching/colour of font gave it away immediately. It should not be that reddish marroon colour, but darker black.
The pocket inside is very plastic-y looking.
This style is heavily faked as well, I don't even recall Juicy making one identical to this (I could be wrong though).

Well, now that you say it I remembered that somebody wrote (maybe it was here) that the charms were a big giveaway for the fakes. This is probably why the charm was cut away from the bag. Oh, such a shame. I really love the bag. :wondering
I can't imagine how I would feel about the real one then.
I'm a big fan of Juicy Couture. I will post some labels of clothes as well.
Who knows are they original either. They were supposed to be. Hm. :wondering
 
Sorry to have to say this, but IMHO all three of your bags are fake.

There's a lot of things that are off, the embroidery, the magnetic clasps, pockets, etc. But those aside, the one thing to remember about Juicy Couture is that their bags are of good quality. The embroidery will be perfect, completely filled in and finished nicely with no unclipped threads going from letter to letter. The hardware is of good quality and will match throughout the bag. The lettering inside will be stamped/embossed into the leather, not just printed on. The leather is good quality, not vinyl. The fabrics like the velour and ribbons are thick and substantial, holding their shape, etc.


:tup: Thank you for the feedback. I'm starting to get what makes a Juicy - Juicy. It is hard for me though without never seeing it in person only by far away pics of the items.

And about all of them being fake - I am really sorry that I did buy them some time ago and I didn't know about this forum then. I was so happy to have real Juicy bags when almost no one here has them. Ahhhh.

Really could you guys post some pics of real Juicy bags? :smile1:
Pretty please :smile1:

We are here to help! Next time before you buy post the pictures/link, and we will authenticate for you before you spend the money on a Juicy ;)
 
Thank you for your replies and the pictures. The pictures are a big help in seeing what a real Juicy looks like. :hugs:

Please, can other people post pics of their Juicy bags too? :smile1:
I did look through the most part of the thread, but as many people don't upload the pictures, but give links instead and they expire soon enough. So I couldn't see many fake pics or genuine ones to make the comparison.


There are some photos of bags posted here. Not many, but this forum is not that old and not very busy.

No problem.

I will take pictures of my two bags of the entire bag and some other things to watch out for and post them before bed. Glad I could help :buttercup:

Yes, definitely! I wish I knew this forum three fakes ago. :yes:

What do you think about this one?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Jui...68?pt=UK_Women_s_Handbags&hash=item3a6eb78248

I have no intention of buying it, as I like more the dreamers and anyway pinks etc other ones. I was just wondering if it is genuine, because I noticed that the outer style is goldish, while the inside style is silverish and it made me wonder, as the other stuff looks genuine at least to me. :D

Thank you! :hugs:

Thank you! :love:
I looked through them and now I see what you guys mean by details!
Ah, on my black bag you can hardly recognize that the dogs are dogs,
the lines are so thick and just plain ugly. :laugh:

I found that the J in the heart on the back of a bag is also a big giveaway. (except the red, brownish, pink hello's and shop's) Some look like T's, other are not so balloony (??) on the end of the J. Well the Chinese plastic zippers that you can buy a dozen for next to nothing are also pretty good indicator. Now what was I thinking??? :laugh: Obviously wasn't. :smile1:

Oh, and how about this one. What do you recon?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Juicy-Cou...57?pt=UK_Women_s_Handbags&hash=item4161268405

It looks lovely, but I think it is a fake.
:smile1:

I LOVE this. Lol fake or not..

I thought it looked good until I saw the inside. I don't think the pockets are EVER like that. In the same material as the lining.

And, I dont know but I dont think the Juicy couture on the outside would just be in normal font. I would think that it would be in the traditional Juicy font.
 
If you look at their feedback its perfect. And the items they sold before were high end brands like Juicy and LV so I dont think they would throw a fake into the mix now that I think about it.

Just searched on ebay, several listings all look just like that one and the chances of there being THAT many fake on ebay at the same time is so low, so id say 99% its real:D
