Hello,

I'm hoping I'm posting this right. I could really use help from someone who can authenticate this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag that I purchased off of Ebay.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6vn2B38i37zfk9SQ2xlUUltRkd4aVZXVUhGQXVFTWJIem90bmhhRGdrYm9peTRKN2VIVTA&usp=sharing

Here's a link to the original Ebay ad:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MARC-BY-MARC-JACOBS-Purse-Black-/121629126129?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=7S7Qs5eL7JR%252FK8pGdfjibIqgmLk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

The only tag I could find inside of it says "Made in China".

Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Item: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Item number: 121629126129
Seller: weisshoffman

Here's a link to the original Ebay ad:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MARC-BY-MARC-JACOBS-Purse-Black-/121629126129?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=7S7Qs5eL7JR%252FK8pGdfjibIqgmLk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

The bag feels and looks as I would expect for Marc Jacobs but I'm hardly an expert. The leather is a nice thick durable heavy weight. The hardware also feels solid. All the stitching looks really good as far as I can see. I would have no question except that the only tag I could find inside of it says "Made in China" and nothing else. And awhile I thought zippers looked right shape they are not stamped and from what I've read they should be. Although I found a sort of similar bag, http://www.ebay.com/itm/171730352394?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I can't find this exact one which just makes me kind of curious now.

What do you guys think? Any experts out there have any thoughts they could share? Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

i'm not comfortable saying either way. the font on the tag looks off to me, but i'm admittedly not a vintage mbmj girl and i may not be remembering correctly

maybe someone more familiar with early mbmj could chime in. sorry!

I appreciate your honesty. It really seems like it's made to well to be fake but it'd be nice to confirm for sure, Yes, hopefully someone else will chime in and help me.

Can you tell me what would define a bag as vintage?

Thanks again!

Comments: Hey Ladies! I don't usually make impulse purchases without checking with you first, but I got this wallet off Ebay and the tag made me doubt the authenticity. As you can see from the photos it says "Made in Thailandia." Is this for real??

I have this bag in white and yours is identical to mine, including the tag. You can enjoy it without worries.
It's a great bag for a carry on with all the pockets and room for a rolled up change of clothes in case your luggage gets lost.

Thanks so much for the confirmation. Although I find it kind of strange, I guess apparently not ALL MJ bags are consistent with having the stamped zippers and style numbers included.

Thanks again!
