Why am I so excited/worked up? Because I think this is fake, and if it really is, I am going to stop purchasing MBMJ off of Ebay!
I cant even begin to tell you how many MBMJ items I have bought from Ebay, all the while thinking it was totally cool because MBMJ isn't replicated. I admit, I've seen a fake turnlock teri here and there but it was so blatantly cheap looking and obviously not authentic, that it didn't really matter to me. Now, however, they have the ultra-luxe looking fakes that seem to have all the right details and honestly, I feel that my position as a buyer has been majorly compromised, and as a result, I may have to order MBMJ items directly from the boutiques.

About the bag in question:
Okay check out the interior lining. Its plain! When did MBMJ ever have any kind of plain lining in his bags? I cant think of any!
Look at the dust bag. Unless this is something new that MBMJ does, the script is all wrong.
The white tag in the first picture is (IMO) the wrong style tag for MBMJ styles
Despite all this, when I look at other aspects of the bag, I think it looks real. Check out the luggage tag, it looks totally correct. The leather on the bag looks pebbly, supple, well grained, and luxurious.
So, I'm very much leaning towards fake in regard to this bag, but Im not really sure.
What do you guys think?
