Authenticate This Vivienne Westwood

[Hszs]

Can someone help me out and tell me if this purse is 100% authentic?

I sold this bag which I originally bought from the Vivienne Westwood Leeds store but the buyer is doubting it's real, until I am able to find the receipt can someone confirm it's authenticity to put her mind at rest?
Thank you in advance.

Bought this wallet off ebay a short time ago and am looking for any insight on whether it is real.
reasons I thought it would be real:
1. legitimate looking seller seemingly selling personal items
2. previously bought an Opening Ceremony wallet from the same seller and I believe that one to be authentic
3. the snaps say Fiocchi italy

reasons I believe it might be fake:
1. lighter than I imagined it would be (have never owned or checked out one in person before)
2. the zipper on the inside is a ykk zipper
3. I can't find a similar style on the internet- the shimmery plaid/ brown trim
4. trim seems messy in some areas

Hi Pollymo,
I'm afraid it is fake. The orb is the wrong shape. Primarily the cross does not curve at the base where it joins the orb. If you google image search VW Ebury, you should be able to compare the orb from an official stockist photo. Also, the ostrich leather will be PU. I have written an eBay review on this In the past. Sorry to bring bad news :o(

Hi Emylijane, that bag is genuine. See my comment above; the shape of the orb is the real clue. Hope you won it!

Hello there guys , I am new to this forum . I recently purchased a bag from eBay, received it today and I suspect it is fake.
Ebay Link :http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192031370660?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I'll give this a go as I am not an expert correct me if I'm wrong !
Firstly, with the text on the tag/lable inside the bag.
The V is not aligned with the other text.
The W on the second line has a weird squiggle.
Underneath it displays " Genuine Leather Italy" .
For the globe the horizontal dots are not straightly aligned.
The button on the front marked "Yik Fung"

Please help as I need to contact the eBay seller ASAP . Thanks in advance

I'm afraid I can really help on this one since I am not familiar with the style. I agree that the inside stamp looks unusual. Especially given the wiggly 'W'. But, that said, the fabric of the outside looks incredibly good quality. Fake VWs tend to be plastic and very cheap looking. Have you attempted to image search for the same bag for sale elsewhere to compare with a genuine?

Hey there, thanks for your response.
I spent countless hours trying to search for the same bag. But no luck with it.
Additionally, with a closer inspection I noticed there are some loose threads and fabric and the item was listed as unused.
I did contact the seller and he/she made it as if I was the bad guy when I requested the refund.
However, with my last message I listed what are indicators of the bag being unauthentic and the seller immediately refunded my money.
I'm guessing the bag was fake after all

That's good. At least you got your money back, although PayPal are very good at refunding for fake items bought on eBay. It might be worth keeping at eye on UK boutiques such as Jules B, Question Air, Triads etc. These all stock VW and can have quite good sales. Because people are less aware of them compared to the likes of Net a Porter, Matches etc, you can sometimes pick up some great deals. Cruise Fashion is another good one; they have a dedicated outlet where items can be up to 70% off.
