Hi, I'm new here and still learning. Is this zip clutch fake? I know there have been a lot of fakes of the clutch on ebay and the price seems really low. I just really want one in the moss color and would rather not pay full price (though I probably will end up doing that): http://cgi.ebay.com/MARC-JACOBS-ZIP-CLUTCH-MOSS-PATTEN-Wallet_W0QQitemZ180006620260QQihZ008QQcategoryZ63852QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The Lampo zipper is a dead giveaway, it's FAKE. otherwise it would have been hard for me tell...

The zipper looks good.

I don't know much about this seller, but if you check this seller's other items for sale, you'll see this person has an auction for a 1 cent authentic MJ bag. I've seen this listing several times, I think this person is trying to educate buyers out there about fake handbags. I find it very admirable.

^^^ thithi great eyes. I just noticed that too and that is indeed very admirable but also helps MJ sellers out since the flood of fakes has cut into their business.

truth be told I acquired much of my MJ knowledge after having bought a few fakes. The rest of my knowledge is supplemented by the ladies on this board:yes:

I'm always scared to authenticate petrol and violet MJ because they are so rare but this one looks like the real deal down to the stitching

wow soleil everything looks good but the zipper and I thought all classic MJ bags came with a RiRi. Hopefully someone can step forward and help authenticate.

I agree, I would stay away.. most likely that's a ykk zipper and MJ never used those.
