Could this be for real??
I don't know anything about the stam, but I DO know that $200 is wayyy too cheap.

That one looks pretty good to me, the serial tag looks correct. It's consistent with this post:hey ladies! i'm totally new to marc jacobs bags, so i was wondering if you guys could authenticate this for me:

thanks so much! =]
In regarding authenticity, I'm not 100% sure that either are real. The 2nd looks better than the first IMO. But yes, Venetias have a zippered pocket and on the other side of the bag have a pouch pocket with an opening behind it. On the pouch flap is where the nameplate is found.Could someone verify that Venetias DO NOT have a zipper pocket on the inside? Both these listings on ebay either make reference to a zippered inside pocket (green) or show a picture that looks like there is a zippered pocket. Help! I'm confused!

Thanks everyone!
No, that one is fake. The leather texture is too smooth. Blush bowlers were very popular and sold out quickly. I'm skeptical of anyone offering a new blush bowler.Do ya'll think this is the real thing?

I have a small bowler and the zipper is riri M8. Not sure if the large bowler has a different zipper, but I would confirm.
One of the dead giveaways for fake bowlers is the texture of the leather (for patent versions). It should be wrinkly. Also, the handles on the bag should be puffy and wrinkly; most of the fakes have smooth, flat-looking handles. The final reason I'm suspicious of the bag in the link you sent is the price - seems "too good to be true" for this bag. I'm not implying that getting a good deal on a bag always means it's fake, but for this bag I'm not sure.
