I agree, it looks good to me, I think the seller may have confused the suede for soft canvas. The details match up with my wallet, esp from the side view where she's holding open all the compartments. If the seller will show you a photo of the zip, it should say riri.

On the topic of wallets... I had bought this wallet combo a few weeks ago, and there is one thing that is bothering me about the wallet. It is NOT lined in suede on the divider or pockets. It is lined in a yellow/beige colored canvas. The outer sides are lined in a yellow silk, like I have seen in other wallets, but the divider is canvas. Everything else checks out (riri M6, M4 zipperheads, MARC JACOBS lettering), but I am really bothered because I thought all wallets had a suede divider. I asked the seller, and didn't really get a straight answer. I have bought from him/her before, and considered him legitimate. Here is a link to the auction (and a few photos I took):

Ladies, I just want to say that I'm extremely careful with ebay purchases since they are not returnable/refundable. Unless I'm familiar with the seller (reputable for selling authentic stuffs), I just have to check all the detail. I consider myself overly picky, but it's better to be safe than sorry. =)

As mentioned before, Zip Clutch's been around for quite some time now.

Ok, I went on a mission around Boston to look at MJ Hudsons. My first stop was Saks, where I nearly had a heart attack because their brown Hudson had quite a matte finish, very different from mine! All the other details matched though. Then I went to the Marc Jacobs boutique, which had a dark brown one with a much more glossy finish, just like mine.

Looking at the bags in person and poring over the pictures that have been posted here, I can't see any difference at all between them and mine -- everything, from the leather grain to the stitching to the bar code on the tag to the serial number in the pocket -- matches up exactly, and I think I can finally breathe easily about this.

I guess my aunt bought from a shady seller but got very, very lucky. Let me know if you've noticed anything suspicious, but otherwise, I think it's time for me to stop obsessing and start loving my beautiful bag (and writing a very grateful thank-you note!).

Thank you all so much for your help; this forum is an amazing resource and you are so generous to devote your time to it.:smile1:

^Hello. I don't know anything about MJs, but I've bought both Fendi and Prada from Jsisme, and they are authentic. I know it doesn't make sense, and her story doesn't much add up, but I don't ask questions. I go by the pictures and scrutinize the quality of the bag IRL when it arrives. My purchases have been the real deal. And she doesn't have unhappy customers. So I wouldn't worry about the MJ Hudson you have. In fact, I wish I'd bought it! It's a beauty! :flowers:

morvern callar I sent the pics you posted to another Hudson owner and she affirmed that yours was the real deal.

I don't know what the deal with that seller is but all of the bags she has/had posted look very, very real including your Hudson. Honestly, I would've snapped it up @ that price too.

I think you put two links of the same handbag. The cream soft satchel is a pretty good price for a brand new bag. It looks good to me but ask more pitctures of the hardwares for sure. I just sold the same bag but in coral color. The leather is very very slouchy and soft. Honestly, I'm not very fond of this style, but it's a good casual bag for everyday routine. Not too small and not too big either.

Looks to be the Oyster color, and the details are consistent for this color. when you check the hardware, make sure it as Lampo zippers.

oh wait, she's an authentic seller... I've done business with her before. she use to have a username like oceandrivelux or something, but she's legit. Her name is Carmen.
