I have read about the seller (rag_nation) being legit, however, they are a consignment store (sometimes fake items can make their ways there without the seller's knowledge). As for this bag, what's its offical color? Bordeaux or Burgandy? I have only seen Bordeaux in real life, the top 5 pictures look too red to be Bordeaux. The last few upclose shots (especially of the pushlock) is more like it, but are the pictures from the same bag?
I am extremely unsure about many items including
1) Black LE Cammie -- the stitching & the fabric around the zipper are totally wrong, they are supposed to be black.

Take a look at this authentic Black LE Stella from another seller:

2) This looks similar to this season's Mischa, but the chain is different. Was this style ever made?

The dust bag that comes with this fakey fake has Marc Jacobs written in two different colors, Marc is dark and Jacobs is light. I bought my Adina on eBay and it came with the same kind of dust bag, and it's been bugging me ever since. I'm sure the bag is authentic, but why did it come with a weird dust bag? Is this the Marc by MJ dustbag? My only conclusion has been that since she bought it at Saks, presumably on sale, she just got an errant Marc by MJ dustbag instead of the "right" one. Can anyone clue me in on this particular styling of dustbag?
Oh, and I find it totally hilarious that they put the nameplate on the outside of this fakey bag!
I think it's suppose to be the bordeaux bag. I really thought the redness was due to the lighting, and I asked the seller for additional photos. Maybe that will help. All the details for the bag look correct though...bag.lover said:
As for the Cammie, again, I think the zipper fabric is off color because of the lighting. I could be wrong, but I didn't think many fakes of the LE were made because of the more intricate nameplate. The teal bag doesn't even look teal, more like black, but again, it maybe be due to the terrible lighting this seller's using. Of course, I don't even know if this bag was ever made, it does resemble the Mischa but the corners look a Coach bag!
I wouldn't be surprised if a few fakes did make its way into their inventory, I'm sure it happens often.
Thithi rocks!!! Let's wait for the pictures & see. =)
The color is really off from my Bordeaux Venetia.
Bordeaux, Petrol, and Taupe are colors from last year. They are heavily discounted at most department stores so the price is not totally impossible. Members here got some in the $300-500USD range.

bag.lover, I dunno, the details look dead on. Not many fake quilted MPs out there, and the ones I've seen have terrible pockets.
I heard back from the seller, he states that the bag is from a stylist that works at Marc Jacobs and that the bag is more maroon than red. He can't currently send photos because it is at his showroom and he is at home.

Thanks Thithi for everything. =)
The last 3 pictures (upclose shots of the pushlock, zipper pull, and metal plaque) look good though, I would say it's authentic too if the rest of the pictures look like that. Did he say which picture# the bag's color is similar to?
JoeyJimmy & Harlem_Cutie have this MP too right? What do you think?

that's def not bordeaux. Bordeaux is more on the purple side as you know. I really don't think it's real. I don't recall ever seeing this color and I think the sude lining is wrong. The only reddish/burgundy bag I saw from 2005 was a cammie and the lining was navy blue suede. Then there was brick red mp which is lined in a brown suede.
I'm confused
but I don't think it's real simply cuz of the lining- Status
