^ Serial tags started in 2005, and that article was written prior to that year. Both bags you questioned should have serial tags in the interior zip pocket. Ask both sellers to check the seam of the pocket carefully for the tag. Both look good so far, but it's always peace of mind to know it is there before you pay for it!

Hi, Sorry, my handbag does not have the serial tag. Have you tried to see if the MJ bags at Neiman's or Sak's has this same serial tag?

the green venetia was previously said to be authentic, but the seller says it doesn't have one...do you think it's still okay? Perhaps they just can't find it?:shrugs:

Can anyone tell me if this is authentic? :)

It's so cheap, but then again, there's still time left before the auction ends :P
Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to the forum! Sorry, this one is fake....

At this point, ebay is pretty good at removing reported fakes, but only if they're in the US. Unfortunately, this one is in the UK and we can't report it.

Honestly, this is your call.... I personally wouldn't bid if the seller can't find it. There are fake green Venetias out there, and even though this one has the correct zipperhead, etc, I wouldn't bid unless I knew it was there. Perhaps you can ask the seller of this one to confirm there is a serial tag and forward it to the other seller so they can see there is a serial tag:

The tag appears to say Topaz on it.

Still not enough pics to be certain, ask the seller for pics of the bottom of the zipperhead and the serial tag inside the interior pocket.

The seller desperatly needs a new camera or a quick photography lesson :S

BUT, it looks just like my topaz stam if i squint with my eyes:roflmfao:! (I'm afraid this seller isn't gonna be able to get a clear shot of the serialtag or zipper heads since she/he can't even get the easy parts :shrugs:)
