Item: Calf mini mini flamma
Comment: My boyfriend bought the mini mini flamma (and a MG backpack which I'll list in a new post) for my birthday on a site but he didn't know to ask for authentication. It doesn't have any proof of purchase or receipt included, and seller said it was a gift. I had a calf bucket bag moose bought in 2015 from the official site. There're some differences between the two bags,which I'm not sure if MG has indeed changed some features or not:
1. The logo is engraved on the flamma, whereas the logo is printed on my moose.
2. The logo color on the flamma's dust bag is more of a darker pink, whereas the moose's dust bag is more of a coral.
3. The tags for flamma are different comparing to the tags for moose. The tags flamma has the word 'pls' instead of the full spelling 'please'.
4. The side wrap of the straps is more matt than my 2015 MG moose.
Thank you for your help!

Item: Black Backpack Flamma
Comment: My boyfriend bought the black backpack flamma (and a MG mini mini flamma which I have posted above as another thread) for my birthday on a site but he didn't know to ask for authentication. It doesn't have any proof of purchase or receipt included, and seller said it was a gift. I had a calf bucket bag moose bought in 2015 from the official site. There're some differences between the two bags, which I'm not sure if MG has indeed changed some features or not:
1. There's some black stained inside the backpack.
2. The logo is engraved on the flamma, whereas the logo is printed on my moose.
3. The logo color on the flamma's dust bag is more of a darker pink, whereas the moose's dust bag is more of a coral. (Post is limited with number of picture upload, see previous post for mini mini flamma)
4. The tags for flamma are different comparing to the tags for moose. The tags flamma has the word 'pls' instead of the full spelling 'please'.
5. The side wrap of the straps is more matt than my 2015 MG moose.

Can someone please tell me if this is an authentic Mansur Gavriel? The person who sold the bag said they received it as a gift 3 years ago, and it is not a replica. However, upon receiving the bag I noticed in the attached pouch there is a snap with Guan Tong on it. I wouldn’t think that would be authentic, and I paid $300 for the bag. Any help is appreciated!!!

pouch details are not correct, there is no hardware on the pouch other than the zipper
 
Hi I am
Looking to purchase this Mansur Gavriel bag. Please can’t you confirm it’s authenticity.
On eBay this is the item number 202393633658
Seller
layla887

Sorry I really don’t know how to add the link on here. Hopefully some one could help me
 
Hi all,

I just bought (what I thought) is a large bucket with black exterior and royal interior. I thought it looked legit, but perusing this thread made me worried since the bag did not have a Made in Italy tag when I received it. Bought it from ebay. Seller had good reviews, but who knows...

Would appreciate any help with this! Images here.
