Hi, I need some help in authenticating this wallet. I saw this on my local Craigslist so there is no item # or seller name. My concern is that the one on Ferragamo.com (http://www.ferragamo.com/shop/en/us...-cases-coin-purses/credit-card-case-395229--1) has "Made in Italy" written on the inside under the logo but this one does not. Not sure if this is an issue?
Item Name and description: "*Authentic Ferragamo Credit Card Case in ametista purple*
in embossed pebbled calfskin
height 3.1 IN, length 4.3 IN, width 0.3 IN

Credit card or business card case featuring gold Palladio double Gancio ornament with three card slots. Brand new, protective plastic still on hardware.
Includes original box, ribbon, and tags."

Thank you in advance.

This is our item so we are not permitted to specifically comment on the authenticity here. However, it should be pointed out that we have provided sufficient images of the stacked heel, footbed stamp and hardware to demonstrate authenticity for any outside party to determine.

I have a vintage alleged Ferragamo but cannot post pictures since I just joined this site. It is a boxy bag, woven leather of cream, blue, brown and black, stiff, U handle (also woven leather) with the name and number DO-217269. I've searched everywhere and cannot find a similar bag.

Hi

I just purchased a pair of ferragamo flats online and everything seemed fine except for the logo stamp on the insoles....it looks a bit weird because the bottom (made in italy) part and the top (salvatore) part of the stamp looks smudgy and i am not sure if that is normal for ferragamo shoes? Can anyone here please kindly tell me if it is normal thanks a lot!! any help will be greatly appreciated!

I am curious as to why some folks get their items authenticated and others do not. Is it because we didn't follow the correct format, our selections were too vintage, or we haven't been on the forum long enough to warrant an authentication. I posted two bags on the site and received no response what-so-ever. I don't care what the reason is as long as I have an idea why. Since I have posted those two bags I must have purchased 10 bags off Ebay 2 were fakes and as soon as I laid my hands on them I could just feel the difference so I have gotten much better in the past 6 weeks. I was unsure of my self when I posted them but now I have a little experience and if it is a very vintage handbag I think with the right photos I could give a decent opinion. I was wondering if it wouldn't be easier to separate the authentication requests into vintage and current. Does anyone have any thoughts on the subject?

I dont own any Ferragamo handbags now (only two wallets left)
Probably people here don't have a lot of experiences on vintage pieces of Ferragamo
for me when it comes to a preown piece, I always exam carefully the leather quality,
design construction and stitching! designer handbags will NEVER have poor quality !
(usually when the retail price are 1000and up)
It just takes a lot of experiences of owning designer items (good and bad) to be able to determine
authenticity by looking at pictures alone)
the best way to avoid counterfeit is to buy from authorized retailers
If you buy from eBay make sure the seller has good rating!
Try to look through the sellers items for sale to see if he/she sells a lot of designer items
However, the same handbags of same style with different color is definitely a red flag
Most importantly, don't fall for the low price if you are not sure it's authenticity!

I want to thank you so much for the reply; it meant a lot to me that you took the time to answer some of my questions.

Please help to authenticate this ferragamo bag. Thanks in advance!

It's a beautiful bag, I love the little shoe hardware! I'm trying to find out if mine is authentic too but still cannot post photos. Mine has the exact same label (different letters and numbers) style. Does anyone know what the letters/numbers mean, if it could be some clue as to when and where it was made? Thanks!

I'm guessing the reason there are so many fakes on ebay is because I tried posting some bags HONESTLY, and said if I did not have certificates of authenticity and I was suspended for fraudulent listings of bags that weren't real. I didn't CLAIM they were, I was honest, posted lots of pictures and descriptions and let people decide on their own. I'm guessing this is why people just post fakes as the real deal because it's basically the only way you can get them listed on ebay. Too bad. I couldn't bring myself to do this, I posted them as unknown maker and pictures unless I had a serial number.

Here is yet another vintage bag I purchased from Ebay. I have no idea how old it is but would like to know if it is a genuine Salvatore Ferragamo handbag. Thank you for your time.

Cordelia47, I own a black Ferragamo that is very similar to your bag. I would like to get it authenticated so I am curious to know if you have had any luck authenticating yours? Thanks for any help you can give me in advance.
