I'm not sure what to tell you. If it's her husband who's buying the bags, he may not be buying all of them from legitimate stores. Some members have bought bags at authentic looking stores for nearly full price to find that they've been scammed.

The weird thing is that she sold multiple items in the exact style/color (based on feedbacks from buyers). Husband lost track of what he bought?

But did you notice that the box and the Alfred have different linings? is that consistent? I would consider them the same line of bags, but one has the monogram lining and the other has green leather. What do you think of this?

There are times where MJ stores get better version (leather lining) than other retailers. The one I saw (can't remember whether it was Alfred or Soft Calf) at NM had leather lining though. I noticed that bagsginaord's items are from MJ boutiques, won't be surprised if she works there & gets employee discount. =)

Funny you noticed that... her story in the description is that she has two because her husband bought her an extra one. Wonder how it ended up being three.

According to experts in Fendi's forum, jsisme2002's Fendi items are fake. The leather on the E/W Shoulder Bag is just different to me.

There's a seller (on ioffer) who makes good replicas of Fendi's bags especially Spy, the experts can tell the differences though.

^ To members who bought stuffs from jsisme2002, I'm sorry if I'm getting you nervous. Please give us time to look into the old listings, we hope to find answers for you soon. If the items are brand new with Neiman Marcus tags (as stated in the seller's listings), why would she sell them for more than half off when she could return them to the store for their full prices?

From what I can see, it looks real but it would be nice to see better photos for both. There's not enough close ups to confirm. I'd like to make sure the riri isn't a pointed zipperhead. I'm having trouble with the "bright blue" color, did this color exist? I'm not sure...

Not surprised at all....There was an ebay seller who claimed that she's trying to get rid of all the items bought by her soon-to-be divorced husband, she needed $$ to pay for the divorce. I felt for it initially, but she listed one fake after another. Just horrible....

I usually don't have a problem with a seller who has several bags in the same color (they could stock up on clearanced items and would like to make some profits), but it's extremely unusual for brand new, hot, current items. If replica makers can copy a leather bag, they can pretty much do anything -- receipt, store tag, etc..

So I guess the seller mixes fakes with authentic bags. I would definitely consider returning the Venetia, esp if MJ can't confirm the color. I would dispute her restocking fee, because that's not allowed when it comes to authenticity issues. Aitiendog, what do you plan on doing?

And bag.lover, do you recall seeing MJ tags with the barcode attached to the cardstock as a sticker(instead of printed directly on the cardstock)? And BTW, I confirmed on the Alfred that the lampo was upper case with no lightening bolt from that seller.
