I have gotten more pictures of the Karlito. Seller also told me that the dustbag for the Karlito was from another accessory as she had misplaced it. Also she pointed out that the "hair tie" on the Karlito was sewed by her as it tore when she dropped it. Any comments? Should I purchase it? Almost 1/3 the price of a brand new!

I'm no expert . But I own a Karlito that I purchased from a high end luxury consignment store that so far I've gotten everything authenticated from an online authentication services and have been authentic. This is my Karlito

For the record, I wanted you ladies to tell me which of these are real and which are fake:

Hard to tell isn't it? :wtf:

ANSWER: All are FAKE! :laugh:

Shanice -- I can't say for sure because of this anomaly and the lack of hologram/serial #. However, my gut says don't buy it. Compare it to the one Ina_loves_bags posted -- because if you look closely - they are not the same.

I would be wary of an authentification service that is giving opinions on the FENDI Karlitos/charms - not all authenticators are created equal. Some do not pursue adequate research to give an opinion, but still do.
I have purchased some of the knock off charms from china & they are very very very good. They use real fur & the other materials simulate the Fendi Original quite well.

Just a moment & I'll get off of my soap box here...
Heh heh....:popcorn:

Dear Baglady,

Thank you very much for your help :) It is amazing how the replicas are among us ! They are getting better and better , I would never know how to tell all those karlitos apart ... And it's scary ! Because spending $$$$$ money on something not genuine is not nice . I know I tried to authenticate my Karlito here before as a reassurance , but it is impossible to authenticate it without hands on it . I posted the pictures of my Karlito as a reference so Shanice can compare to hers :) just trying to help .

You have no idea how happy I am to be part of this forum. I wish I would have known about it way back before I made many mistakes.

Thank you so much for all , I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening.
