Hello! I need your help authenticating a recent impulse buy MJ acquisition via Tradesy. I have always been a penny-pinching, thrift-store hopping, capital C "Cheapskate," and there is nothing I love more than a screaming deal. In my quest for diamonds in the rough, I have come up with a few "fool's gold" purses, and now I am a bit gunshy. Is this the real deal?



Item Name: Unknown- the seller referred to it as a MJ "pleated tote"

Link: https://www.tradesy.com/bags/marc-jacobs-tote-bag-dirty-martini-1194101/

Who took the pictures: Seller (I have yet to actually see the bag- it's in the mail as I type this)

Comments: The photos are not great quality, but I bought first and asked questions later. But when I asked for better photos, the seller said she had already boxed and shipped the bag, so I was SOL. The big fat red alarm for me is the leather nameplate on the front- did MJ ever put "New York * Paris" on this tag???? And it seems to be rather absent of that lovely hardware he is known for?



Many thanks for your valued input! I will never hear the end of this from my husband if it's indeed fake... *sigh* hahaaa

Hello ladies!

Little Black Stam
Seller: Local thrift store

Found this baby for a great deal. I know these get faked a lot so I hope it is the real deal.

Thanks a bunch.

Please help me authenticate this bag. If it looks authentic do you know what's the model called?

Item: AUTH MARC JACOBS Brown Leather Gold Tone Double Strap Tote Shoulder Handbag
Listing number: 311531086540
Seller: linda*s***stuff
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTH-MARC-J...ble-Strap-Tote-Shoulder-Handbag-/311531086540
Comments:

The name doesn't match the pictures but I'd like to know if the bag seems authentic to you. The listing says it's been authenticated. The thing that made me wonder was the picture of the made in tag. I've never seen the text written in other than CAPS. Here it says "Made in China" (it's the 3rd last picture in the additional pictures in the listing). Thank you so much for your expertise!
