I guess it was only a matter of time that fake Tom Ford bags would show up on the counterfeit market, considering the boost Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Joilie have given the brand. I had hoped it wouldn't be too hard finding a gently used, second hand Tom Ford bag since they're not so widely available and/or popular, but I was wrong. A website that actually brags about selling "Grade A Replicas" was recently brought to my attention and sadly, there among the Chanel and Louis Vuitton bags were three different Tom Ford bags, one of them being the one I am looking for (Jennifer Aniston's double zip flap hobo).

I have found one on eBay that the seller says is authentic and was purchased by her husband last year as a gift. She doesn't have the receipt, but says she can produce a copy of her cc statement, itemizing the purchase (waiting for her to send me a copy) While I do have my doubts, the seller could be on the up and up. Does anyone here know anything about these bags - maybe own one? - that could hep me authenticate an auction listing? There aren't a lot of pics included, so if someone could tell me what to look for, I could ask the seller for those specific pics.

TIA:flowers:
 
Pics are really bad -- here's the current listing:

here's the one she ended early (she wanted to take new pics and add a pic of her statement):

Whats troubling me is that I've found a few sites selling fake versions of this bag -- one of them claims that their bag is a mirror image replica and that they used an authentic TF bag to copy so that the specs are perfect (they admit it right out even encourage customers to call Tom Ford to verify the strap length!). This seller appears genuine, her FB is good and she appears to buy and sell designer items quite frequently, but my fear is that she bought a real TF bag for herself & is selling a fake (I could be paranoid, but I've gotten burned too many times in the past to not even consider it!)

Another oddity -- the amount she paid doesn't add up. According to TF, the bag is $3990. If she paid 8.75% sales tax (Beverly Hills sales tax), that's $4339.13 but her statement says she paid $4398 even. Of course, there could be shipping, but then she wouldn't have paid Beverly Hills sales tax and that would mean she paid $108 for shipping which seems outrageous.

 
hi, i looked at the eBay listing and something seemed odd. seller says she has the Tom Ford card but that there wasn't an Authenticity card. do TF bags not have authenticity cards? tia
