Hi guys,

I'm fairly new to this. Trying to learn as much as possible about MJ bags, so I don't get ripped off. Is this one real? What season is it from?

eBay: MARC JACOBS BLACK LEATHER SATCHEL HANDBAG $850 NWT (item 120040877931 end time Nov-09-06 12:06:25 PST)

Thanks to all the experts for their awe-inspiring expertise!

This seller is legit. Coco's Closet is a reputable & trustworthy seller of authentic items. =)

Thanks so much bag.lover. Yay! I'm so excited. This seems like a good deal. I think I'm going to buy it.

Sorry to be such a bother, bag.lover. But what about this Indigo Blake?

eBay: Brand New Marc Jacobs Blake Bag in Dark Indigo (item 130039964494 end time Oct-27-06 17:53:07 PDT)

Feedback is low, but good. And the pics look decent. What do you think?

And this Blake too:

Thanks!

Authentic. I considered getting it once, but decided not to. =) The price is reasonable for a brand new Blake, this color is harder to find too. =)

But what about this Indigo Blake?

Fake. The seller (upscale_sale) is a known seller of replicas/fakes.

Katerina, I honestly think that Blake is a nicer and more popular style than Daria (the black purse from Coco's Closet). Blake has better re-sell value so Dark Indigo Blake is a better deal. I would go for Dark Indigo Blake. =)

Thanks for all your help, bag.lover. This will be my first MJ bag, and I'm really excited. I also prefer the Blake to the Daria. My only reservation about the Blake is that it has TWO main zippered pockets design. Do you find that wierd? Or really useful, because it makes it easier to organize things within the bag? Thanks again for all your help.

Many people love Blake b/c it has compartments. I like Blake's look and functions, I have this bag in Linen & been wanting to add other colors to my collection. =) It's really a personal preference though, would those 2 zippered pockets bother you? If yes, don't go for Blake. MJ has other bags without compartments such as Venetia (love...love its style, very sophisticated), Multipocket (popular among members here as well; single shoulder strap, considered a hobo). For your first MJ, take your time to find a style that you love and will use regularly. It's possible to find new & authentic MJ bags at this price range, don't rush or settle. Just make sure to get it authenticated first before proceeding. =)

I'd have to see more photos to confirm, but it looks like it could be ok... but then again, I've seen really good fakes of this style. the listing number would help.
