It was a fantastic fake.
Everything looked lovely, but the tag was off.

I'm hanging it up, because I'm embarrassed to say I still don't see it.

Help me learn. My 2013 bleu mineral doesn't have a metal tag. Would they have used metal tags for some and not others made in the same year?

Does it have regular hardware or G12?

Regular hardware but it's a mini pompon, not a first.

Went and looked at the other photos. The only thing that’s wrong is the tag. It’s possible that both the angle and the color being blown out is deceptive. Probably best to ask for additional photos of the tag front and also the back before judgement on this one.

Calling @andral5!!!

Thank you so much, @earswithfeet! This is a really gorgeous one!!! If the circumstances were different, I’d jump on it!! I might regret later that I didn’t.

But the day before your post… I became a widow, so now everything changed and we’re still in shock. 😓

Thank you for the link to the beautiful RT City chèvre!!

I just realized that you messaged me as well. Thank you again for all the warm thoughts! 🙏🏻

This is exactly why I request a photo that’s facing straight on. There have been a few times I’ve questioned a tag only to call it authentic after a good tag pic. Angles can change the aspect of the font and also the thread colour at top. Not calling it one way or the other, as Connie mentioned we need all of the pics done correctly!

I agree, a skewed angle has thrown me off many times and I understand the need for straight on photos. I'm just looking at the plate on the bleu mineral and for the life of me I don't see what's off about it. The fonts are identical. The letters and numbers are spaced and line up exactly as they do in the authentic tag. The position of the "No." in relation to the "C" above it, the position of the "J" in relation to the "A" above it. What faker have we ever seen that nails the metal plate details this well? The black thread up top so frequently doesn't look black that I rarely use that as an instant marker of fakeness. Otherwise to me the tag looks fine, yet to many it immediately looks off, and it's driving me crazy that I don't see it. I can't imagine that "off" only means the photo was taken at an angle, when the angle distortion here is minimal.
