Hi All,

I just purchased a brand new MBMJ Classic Q Natasha bag off ebay. I'm no expert, but everything seems okay to me except for the made in label. Have not seen this format for the label before, so a bit unsure.

Would really appreciate it if someone could help verify if it is authentic. Thank you!

My sister's boyfriend works for MJ corporate. He's always getting her tons of stuff (perfume, purses, shoes, etc), which she sometimes gives to me. Most recently, she gave me this bag for my birthday. I've never seen this style bag before and the quality is a little off to me. I asked her about a few marks on the bag and she said it's normal when it comes from a showroom or sample sale. I don't think my sister or her boyfriend would give me something fake, especially since he works there, but I am curious. All of the other bags she has given me has inside tags. This one does not. What do you all think?

It can be tough to authenticate samples - there's nothing to really compare it to and they're usually missing a couple authentication markers.

I don't see anything that looks off to me. The font and hardware looks ok. It's not unusual for there to be some flaws or quality issues. Sometimes there will be a sample tag inside but not always.

Sorry that I can't provide a definitive answer. It does look fine to me and as a sample often does, there's just no usual way to prove it's authentic, if that makes sense.
 
Hello! Can anyone please help check the authenticity of two MBMJ Petal to the Metal Voyage bags? They have different model/item numbers.

This one looks seems to be m3121103 (but I may need to ask for a better picture):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Marc-by...972859?hash=item4b00faa2bb:g:Rs8AAOSwezVW1U4W

This one says m1322053:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Marc-by...etal-Black-Leather-Satchel-Bag-/381657964320?
I have asked this seller to provide a better picture of the "Made in" tag.

I love this bag style but typically do not buy from eBay as there are many fakes. Thank you very much for your help!

The seller for bag m1322053 sent me a picture of the "Made In" tag. Something seems off to me when I compare the inner tags of both bags. Can someone please take another look? Thank you very much for your help and patience!

The tags are different because the bags are from different seasons.
