Hello, don't mean to pester but think my posting #843 was skipped. Can you kindly take a look and let me know what you think? One of the listings is ending in a few hours. I'm new to the site so let me know if you rather me include only one item per post? Thanks ladies!

To answer these questions the bag was purchased at a live charity estate*auction
All merchandise was guaranteed authentic antiques and originals
There are no signs of wear on this bag at all that I can see and it did not come with any tags or cards
I won the bid at 2750.00 and I thoughly checked it out before I placed a bid.
The serial engraving on the inside lining alone was a very good sign of an original since most fakes are melted into leather like tabs.
Also the SP letters are used only on bags made in France so the heat stamp should say made in France which it does.
Had it had the letters CA and made in France then it would not be real as CA stands for LV bags made in the U.S. ( california )
Also many fakes have painted logos and are not heat stamped, also the stitching is beautiful and not sloppy at all.
The cowhide edges are all real and not the painted stuff you see on fakes which peel and flake off easily.
Other than this I have does the best I can to describe this bag to*the best of my*ability.
The Louis vuitton signature is on most brass peices but it is so shiny under the lighting of the camera that I can't get a clear shot for you, sorry.

Thats OK, I can honestly say though that out of the 18 people watching this bag you certainly are the most sceptical, lol
Trust me when you see the weight and leather construction of this bag there is no denying its authenticity, its not a plastic bag.
And handles are not painted in red like all the fakes out there.
However I am sending more pics but some of them are really hard to take because I keep getting allot of glare and I tried every setting available on my camera and this is the best I can do. This bag looks pure black at a distance and not until you are close up can you see the design and even better under light, which is sybolic of the perforated look.

The above was the email correspondence that I have received from the seller

SO many things wrong (CA is Spain)

People need to remember that fakes can be GOOD!!! They know what they are doing! LV is the most counterfitted item in the world! *(I read that in the Batheroom reader so it must be true ;)) so they spend a long time perfecting their fakes.

I once saw a 60 minutes show where they bought a fake and showed it to one of the head people at Vuitton - even HE couldn't tell!

Item: White Multicolore Pochette

xxxxx It is a white multicolore pochette. I have attached relevant pictures.

The only thing that I am questioning is the lining. I have only seen red linings in this bag. This one is tan. The date code is SR102 (shown).

Is this authentic? How old is it? Thanks!

1) Looks OK but need better pics to be sure (if you don't get them in time to bid you can always buy it and then ask for pics after -- before paying -- it;s illegal to sell fakes so you won't get a Non Paying Bidder strike if they are selling fakes.) Please ask for a straight on pic of the heatstamp (where it says Louis Vuitton made in...) and the datecode.

2) Need pics of the heatstamp, datecode, zipperpull and clasp. Also you should get a better pic of the strap to see what sort of condition it's in.

3) That heatstamp looks a little weird bu tit might just be the pic is squished a bit. Ask for another pic of the heatstamp as well as a straight on of the LV on the clasp.

4) Looks OK but I'd like to see a straight on of the heatstamp.

Sorry for all the extra pic requests but we like to be sure. It wil lbe worth it when you get a REAL - great bag ;)

I sell items on consignment. I received this bag today (from a good friend). It is a white multicolore pochette. I have attached relevant pictures.

FAKE :tdown: everything is off -- if you go to the louis vuitton website you can see that even the colours are wrong.
