Hi emmy- the multipocket you posted looks good to me- I have the exact size multipocket in cream with red stitching also lined in suede. I bought it from saks- and it looks identical to those pics in your auction (except the color, of course!) :yes:

I just bought the new cammie style in black from ebay. It's very good and I have several real mj bags that I bought in store. However, the zippers do not have anything on the underside of them!!! How often do fake Cammie's come along? Does anyone know? Everything else on the bag is top notch- the top stitching is right, the hardware, the leather. I'm just really worried about the zippers!!!! Help!! :)

Is it the quilted cammie? In that case it should have the Lampo zippers... Do you have a photo of the zippers? Pics will help.

Thanks for helping!! It is NOT the quilted cammie. It's what marc jacobs called the "new cammie" released starting in 2002. Here are three pics- one of the bag, one of the bottom zipper, one of the top of the zipper. They are NOT marked YKK either. Thanks for your help!

From what I understand, MJ zippers always have markings. Can you attach a pic of the MJ nameplate? Did this come from ebay? Do you have the original auction link? What do you think about the stitching? That is normally a clue as to whether or not the bag is authentic.

Hi, I don't have the auction link unfortunately :(
But the stitching is perfect, the name plate is perfect also. I compared the bag to my other marc jacobs bags that I know are authentic. The ONLY difference is the zipper detail. Someone mentioned on another forum that the plain cammies aren't copied very often, so I am keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for any and all of your opinions!!

Did Quilted styles ever come in this color? Does violet look like this listing's Purple? Am I wrong to believe that the seller's terms & conditions scream SCAM?

The pictures make the bag look like different parts of the bag have different shades of purple. Yes, those terms of payment definitely seem suspicious. No ebay checkout? Why not?

Well ladies thanks for all the help, but I've been HAD. Apparently the item I bought had been relisted and a nice ebayer who saw that it had been relisted and had been watching the item forwarded me the old auction page. She was selling it for REALLY LOW, which definitely showed it would be fake. The best part is, she relisted it, and I payed $105 over her original asking price. The joke is on me :(

Be careful!! I own three authentic bags . and this was my first attempt at purchasing one online :( It almost fooled me except for the zippers. This is suck a great site and I am grateful for your help! I'll be back to check in and offer any help (not like you guys would want it, since I was TOTALLY SCAMMED myself)

you are selling on Ebay but don't wanna use Ebay checkout? :rant: Just based on that alone you should stay away. Besides that color (violet) rarely makes an appearance.

Agree, I thought that her points are totally off too. The seller even anticipates the listing being removed. LOL. I was just browsing for fun, don't intend on buying from these types of sellers.
