I'll go ahead and merge this this time instead of just closing it. But all authennticity questions need to be asked in their respective Forums in the Authenticate This! sticky that's provided in each Forum.
Thanks!
 


although the texture looks right in the upclose shots, the overall appearance of the bag seems too shiny and the worng color for moss. both of these items were faked, and i think i would stay away from bidding on this one. plus, the seller has no feedback. so you reall have no idea what type of seller/buyer they are. also the inner zipper stitching looks crooked and like there's glue or something. i have a bowler in moss and it is much more wrinkly than this. i'd pas on it.
 
Ok, received the bag yesterday and wasn't too surprised that it isn't authentic. Zippers do not have rounded heads and there are two seams on the bottom. Can any Stella owners confirm? I don't think there are any seams, maybe one? definitely not two?
Ouch.. yes, that one sounds fake.. there should only be one seam down the middle on the bottom of the bag. i'd send it back immediately!

Here's a current auction for a stella with canvas lining on ebay, it looks real to me... you can use it for comparison:
eBay: Marc Jacobs Authentic Chocolate Stella Leather Purse NR (item 190052181284 end time Nov-22-06 17:30:00 PST)
 
eBay: Authentic Marc Jacobs Multipocket Hobo Turquoise RARE (item 320050668030 end time Nov-24-06 18:07:28 PST)

I've never heard of/seen this color for MJ. Fake? Real? What do the experts think? TIA!
I would double check for the made in italy tag sewn into the interior pocket, but otherwise, it looks real to me. I believe the color is Seafoam.:shame:
 
^^I would agree with thithi that the color is Seafoam. It looks just like my Venetia which I just posted a pic of in the list MJ bags thread. It's a great color. It's so light and delicate. :love:

I checked out your post and I love this color! I asked the seller to post a pic of the nameplate and also asked if it comes with a dustbag. Thanks for the help thithi and luvpurses24!
 
I everyone I ended up missing out on that lovely multi-pocket I asked about because I set my auction sniper (because it ended at 4am my time) at the wrong amount :noggin:

Argh, so I have a couple more I'd like to ask about: The first I think is okay, but the seconds pictures kinda suck, so I'm not sure.

eBay: MARC JACOBS LARGE HOBO PINK LEATHER MULTI POCKET $975 (item 280051025011 end time Nov-29-06 09:39:03 PST)

TIA :heart:

I believe they are both authentic. But look very very worn. The large MP is a good deal since the majority of the damage on the purse in on the inside. You will likely not be able to get the pen stains out of the lining though. The first seller also has some other MJs for sale...the Stella is very pretty with the brown suede lining:love: . Hope this helps. Sorry to hear that you missed your last MP. There are always MP's popping up on ebay though so you'll get one, I am sure!
 
MIKOMIMI I was browsing my computer and ran across this photo of the nappa petrol stam that I found on the TFS site. One of their members posted a photo of their bag:
