Hey ladies! Do you know if this style was ever faked? I want to buy this to use as a tote for school books, etc.

On a side note: telicious, you are a great authenticator. Although I don't post on the subforum a lot, I visit everyday and your authentications (as well as those of Melly, Coach Superfan, and several others) have helped me numerous times. Please don't think your work here goes unappreciated!!

This is available on knockoff sites. Be sure to get a pic of the serial tag and the zipperhead. Post them when you get them... :yes:

You can just do a search on tPF of younglabels and see all of the coments about her as a seller.

Like I said before ~ I have never heard of any issues with her and have had perfect transactions before ~ but they were COACH.

I am very pleased that she has responded here (thank you!) and I can say that the seller she acquired the wallet from (pinchrosemary) is also a respected seller. But again - bad things can happen to good people. KWIM?:shrugs:

telicious we very much value your opinions on MbMJ here and there is never harm in being cautious.

I hope this works out for all parties involved. :yes:

Thank you.

I have emailed telicious 3 times with 3 links to 3 photo albums and information.


Again ladies, I appreciate how hard it is to authenticate by photos and I also appreciate how hard, if not impossible, it is to stay on top of everything about a particular brand; especially when certain brand's release certain items in different markets. What I know for certain is how much time goes into learning and how much time goes into posting here and elsewhere, for the overall good of all of us passionate about designer handbags and accessories. I also know for certain, how impossible it is to know everything.

I apologize publicly to telicious for my offending words. Upon review, they were harsh and I was defensive and less than professional. I do respect her opinion, but I also ask that she review all the additional information and photos I emailed her earlier today. Perhaps she is working and cannot access the public album or tPF from work. Her initial statement giving thumbs down to this wallet said the logo was messy. It is not. She did not ask for the style number or for additional photos including those of the inside tag, retail tag, back of the hardware, etc. Secondly, she asked for the item's source not knowing Pinchrosemary. If indeed she needs that information to authenticate, I will just do my best to deal with that on a professional level.

Hi:)

I love this bag, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...K:MEWAX:IT&item=180268701805#ebayphotohosting

But I´m not quite sure if it´s real! It seems to be a bit of a problem to get a picture of yhe inside of the zipper, where it´s supposed to say "riri". On my other Marc Jacobs-bag the inside has a beach velour-skin kinda look, and feel, but on this bag the inside and outside seems to have the same color and texture. I have doubts this bag is real, but would love to be sure! Just in case.. Thanks:)

the red MP i had been watching since it was initially listed. i emailed the seller twice and they have not responded. The thing about it that makes me wonder is that the interior nameplate seems to be set on a sewn in leather tab, something i have never seen before. I decided to pass on it because of this and the inability of the seller to get back with me.

this is the pic im talking about:

*edit* i lightened the pic in photoshop and it appears it has a leather inside pocket, like the venetia...so it may be an early bag. wait for a girl here to chime in...the color looks like 'brick'

I've seen nameplates like that before in the early releases of MJ bags. I think this is completely normal for a first or second release MP - do you have a link so I can further review the MP?

OK, now I see the listing! June, you must have quoted the wrong post... This is what I was referring to - this is an early release of the MP, and should have a flap pocket inside with the nameplate on the leather tab. There is also a leather lip inside, riri swiss zips(I think), and a thinner than current shoulder strap. I've seen this in an apple green, tan, and black color before.

Please ask the seller for additional pics and make sure the details match the description I stated above before bidding, but in all honestly, I don't think this particular version of the MP was faked.
