So it's a no then? Seller keeps emailing me that it is authentic and telling me to pay! Can you please be a bit more specific about why it looks fake so I can tell the seller to cancel the auction! Thanks a lot for your helpful advice!

CHeck in the Ebay section of this forum for assistance. We don't give out the reasons. U can also have a professional authenticator give an opinion, like authenticate4u.

Hi Everybody! I've noted there are not many examples for the Demi Jour and I would like to post pictures of mine for reference, as well as for authentication. Hopefully somebody can help to see if mine is authentic too. There's no hologram tag to be found for my bag; only the rfid tag is provided. Maybe it will make it easier to authenticate future such bags w/o hologram tags?

Based on the 2 Demi Jour that were posted here (pont-neuf's and vivanc's), I would say mine is more similar to the one that pont-neuf bought. It's a little confusing because of the variations in the bags, most notably, the tag.

I've included the image album link with all the close-ups. Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you for the photos!
In fact I would encourage any member with a 2015 bag to post close up photos like this for us.....!

Yes, yours looks authentic & we will do our best to give an opinion if a bag does not have a hologram. The reason it is different from Vivanc's bag is that hers is from 2014 season. The big change came in 2015 which your bag is an example of.

I have seen some super replicas in the past the were spot on the same as real bags (even in my hands), that is our problem. The replicas of the Demi Jour I have seen so far are not the total package fortunately....but one never knows when they will get better. :mad:

Here are pics of a fake demi jour:

Good, but no Cigar.....!:roflmfao:

It is really quite reassuring to hear from you that it looks authentic, considering where I bought it from. :sweatdrop:

I was getting a bit worried when I see the differences and began to have doubts in my mind.

Tbh, I'm impressed by that fake Demi Jour because, well, I can't tell it was a fake... :sad: Which part of the bag was the giveaway? *scratches head*

Ok, you and anybody else reading the answer might facepalm :dots::faint::smash:, but I bought it from a Fendi boutique in Italy via email. A tpfer had provided an email contact in the By the way thread and mentioned the boutique ships internationally, hence I took the chance and wrote to them. I guess I was taking a chance and trying my luck. :sweatdrop::sweatdrop::sweatdrop:

As long as it is Truly a FENDI (owned/operated) Boutique, then it should be Authentic. With the Euro dropping I can see why one would purchase from there....:graucho:
