Is this an authentic Fall Stam? I have a new Stam, but I'm very bad at telling the authenticity of Fall Stams:

Looks pretty good, but let's wait for some other pfers to take a look. The pictures are bad, wish I could see the zipper pull better, the engraved MJ name looks crooked but it could just be the bad photo. The texture of the leather looks fab. Great return policy too.

If you are referring to this season's Stam (Fall right?), the interior is canvas lining. Only the ones from previous seasons have suede lining.

The lining is purple in the pictures from the listing, I don't think Stams ever came with purple lining. Bad lighting?

Good point on the lining color...I know that previous season Baby Stams had suede. Just wondered if maybe this one was real.

Real or Fake Venetia?

its real. what they do is sell fakes and reals. the black venetias always go one sale. they are just the older ones ( older seasons ) these stores usually sell some real ones then for the other the sell fakes and think they can fool us. the chloes and hermes bags are always fake, but some of the mjs ive come across are real.

The fake ones have gotten better and better (especially styles from soft calf line). If you are happy with your purchase, that's great. Personally, I would definitely stay away from these types of sellers; mixing fake and real items are absolutely no-no's in my book -- what makes them better than a store with all fakes. They always claim that all their items are authentic anyway. With the amount of $$ buyers shell out for authentic bags, it's not good enough to just rely on luck. This is just my opinion though, everyone has the right to disagree. =)

I would have to disagree with you on Black Venetias being on sale all the time. Told by MJ boutiques that styles from Classic Collection don't go on sale. Nordstrom recently got some Black Venetia with Silver Hardware for their Anniversary, but the saving's not substantial.

^^ I have to agree, I would stay away from Europeanoutlet. I've seen way too many fakes in their listings to take a risk on a possible authentic bag they might have. I wish this seller would get kicked off Ebay.

I retract my earlier statement. I think it might be fake, the interior zipper pocket has weird looking fabric and the black tag inside looks off. But it's a really good fake. That leather texture really fooled me!
