Definitely fake-and WOW it sold for over $600! I asked her if it was authentic (it looked obviously fake to me but I was hopeful it was just the lighting), and she actually posted her response to me on the listing. She basically didn't answer the question and said it was a gift from Singapore "so it must be authentic". I had also asked her specific questions about the bag that she ignored and it just felt shady. I hope whoever won the auction knows!

Unsure of authenticity as well!! I agree in that the lighting throws me off. Stitching looks off on the pouch; I tried looking for pics of authentic pouches for comparison and the one being sold looks strange to me. I'm glad you were able to ask questions. Can't believe it sold for that much. It's crazy to me that fakes are already being produced (if it is in fact fake).

what I thought at that time was that the font size on this bag seemed to be a little larger. but I was not quite sure.

but for the color, I thought it might be the lightning as the first picture and the second looked so much different...

I was thinking about bidding it for a second but then I thought I should authenticate this first.

Yeah, the font looked strange to me-a little too high on the bag and a little too large/blocky with the lettering. Usually the size is different slightly as well and a lot of the fake "mini buckets" have a pouch which no authentic ones have that I'm aware of. xxx I think she said this one was the "regular" size but always be careful and check the dimensions since that could be one way to help determine authenticity :smile1:

Reminder: we don't like to share what details give away that a bag is counterfeit on tPF since we know that the fakers are watching our forum to better hone their skills.

Thanks!

BTW, I am confident this bag is fake. This seller has mixed stolen pictures of an authentic bag with pics of her fake to confuse buyers.

The 1st listing would be more convenient for me as I lives in Australia.
The 2nd looks more authentic and comes with the box and receipt but I am still waiting for the seller to send me more pictures.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

I edited out a couple of the details – but otherwise this post is fine. Not to worry!

no red flags but I would like to see interior shots. The second bag only has 3 actual photos-I'd like to see a few more
