JoeyJimmy, are you referring to the leather hobo that's still available at saks.com?
Marc Jacobs - Medium Leather Hobo - Saks.com
Marc Jacobs - Large Leather Hobo - Saks.com

The one in the ebay listing is a completely different style or totally off. The saks' leather hobo has shorter shoulder straps (definitely not long like messenger bag), not-so-pebbled leather (soft calf), no side buckles at the low end of the bag.

OK, since I'm always looking out for a bargain, lemme know if these two are real. I'm not holding my breath, especially since the riri zipper on the 1st one looks kind of pointy. I'm just hoping she set the starting price low in anticipation of a big feeding frenzy.

She has the measurements wrong, too. She says the bags are 16.5" across, aren't they 14"?

Baglover, thanks so very much for spending the time to check up on these things. I have checked the saks.com website and I think what they have is just the large hobo in black or the medium in white. What my aunt was liking was the medium in black- so if you see it for sale anywhere let me know because that would be great.

I didn't even think about the long strap, I did notice the straps on the side. The seller told me that its 2 years old. For that price I'm sure my aunt wouldn't mind getting something close to what she wants, but if I'm going to be paying $800 for a bag, then I want to get exactly what she wants. (for me $800 on one bag is a pretty scary to spend- but for some crazy reason if I spend $800 on 3-4 bags, then I'm ok)

I'm going to say that all are fake.

The wallet has white string with the tags, MJ never uses white, only black string.

The stam was posted earlier this week in the Auth Forum and some members think it is fake. My observation is the zipper engraving is off, not centered properly.

The Ursula, that has a receipt pictured and it looks exactly like the fake receipts that are sold with the fake Ursulas. There is a thread in the MJ forum somewhere.

Sorry.
