Yes, bags of this generation were made in Turkey. The tag should be inside the interior zippered pocket.

Be careful, though, because the seller claims they bought it originally on eBay. They may know it's fake already.

ok. Seller says its made in Turkey according to the tags inside the bag. But...the seller may already have knowledge on how to tell the fake from the original and maybe fibbing.

What do you think? Is it fake? I'm kinda on the err side because of the price.

*I thought I was gonna win Lindas_stuff luella bag since no one bid, but a buyer bid sniped at the last minute.*
 
Hi! Hope this is the right place to post this...with the search function down it would have taken me all day to see if there was a Luella thread open....sorry. :sad:

Please excuse me if I've posted this in the wrong place....I'm usually in the LV forums.....Thanks for your help!
 
I can't open your link. If the seller can't send you a clear pic, I'd stay away.


Thanks for looking........I'm trying to attach the picture....the auction ended but I was going to contact her about relisting if it's legit.....but should the tag be black and you did say it should be Made in Turkey...not Spain.....

Thanks for all your help! I really appreciate it.;)

Thanks! If I win and when I get it, what pictures would you want to see to verify it's authenticity? Just the interior tag? Thanks for all your help!! I really appreciate it!

Lori.......I asked the seller about the origin tag and authenticity guarantee and this was the response I got.....

"Yes we do see the black tag that is sewn onto the seam in the inside pocket that shows 'Made In Turkey'.

We are very cautious in accepting designer items since we guarantee authenticity on everything we auction. If an item is proven not to be authentic, we refund the purchase price without exception.

Besides inspection, we rely on the history we have with our many favored consignors that bring us their authentic designer items to sell with the knowledge that we reject any that may be in doubt as to their history.

Some of the more recent copies of many high end name brands have become increasingly more difficult to discern authenticity, and some may eventually get through the system. However, we will remain committed to reassuring our buyers that we warranty all our auctions if proven to be other than authentic."

I won the auction.. :yahoo: I think I did ok.....and I did feel good about how quickly the seller responded to my questions and what the response was....that said, do you recommend I post a picture of the origin tag when I receive the bag?

Thanks so much for all your help!
 
previously, I asked to authenticate some luella handbags here (thanks for the replies). Unfortunately I got outbid on them and some were dodgy. Here's another one. If someone would kindly authenticate this one:
