In my opinion, this one looks real to me, although I've never seen a gold e/w stam IRL before. I'm pretty sure that Gold came with the red suede lining, and the hardware and interior fabric look correct to me. The serial tag is also correct.

I checked out the seller's other items, there is one moss green quilted clutch that looks auth to me too. The Chanel camera bags look right to me, but I'm no Chanel expert. If you're serious, perhaps you could have the girls in the other forums check out the other brands of bags.

It's kinda hard to tell, the color, double stitching on pockets and blue lining seems correct. But i don't know if the Stella came in this style. i know this color came in the Stella (double straps), Sophia and Devon (double straps messenger style...kinda like a bigger Anouk). Ask the seller for more closeup pics of the zipper. i do not know of any Macy's in NY that sells MJ, maybe they used to back in 2002...but they definitely don't now.

Oh you are right! It only has one strap... so must be a Sofia. So strange, maybe it's a prototype or something. Seller also talks about putting a matching wrist purse up for auction (although I don't see it yet) and I can't imagine what that might be either. I will keep my eye on this mysterious bag...:sneaky:

It's a strange one isn't it? I posted one similar to this in the rare/dc bags thread because it was so unusual but had all the correct details. I think it's real, but it's so long! with 19 inches I could almost pitch a tent!

Thanks Thithi! I found your posting in the rare bags thread. It DOES look the same. Must be an early version of a large Sofia. So i guess we are all agreed it's authentic at least. :amuse:

I can't tell if it's real... there's not enough photos there. Sorry! Hopefully once you get it we can get a better look. Crossing my fingers for you!

hiya thithi. if you scroll further down this closed item ebay page, there are close up pics of (1) the kisslock, (2) the inner suede lining and the metal brand plague, with what looks like a NM paper tag attached to the inner pocket zipper (3) the quilted leather, outer zipper, and chain, (4) the clasp (not sure what you call this, which is to remove the chain, in an attached position).

let me know what other pics of this bag you need to authenticate. thank youuu...! (i am SO nervous right now...)

^There's nothing that I see that is setting off any alarm signals, but I'd want to see a closeup of the zipperpull, the Lampo zipperhead, the fabric and serial tag of the interior zippered pocket. Could you also get a closeup of the NM tag or the MJ tags if available? You could also pm the girls here who own the Ivory stam to ask their opinion.

pic 6 on this has a close up of the NM paper tag, but it does not show the MJ paper tag, only the MJ metal plague on the lining near the inside zipper. the lampo zipperhead: is that half-metal-ball looking thing? like in pic 3?

pic 1: one side of bag - full pic
pic 2: the zipper side of bag - full pic
pic 3: outer zipper, zipperhead and dangle/s, quilted leather, chain - close up
pic 4: kisslock - close up
pic 5: chain latch - close up
pic 6: inner zipper, suede lining, MJ metal plague, NM paper tag - close up
