Hi! I’m not a professional but am really good at spotting fakes. I’m unfamiliar with this website and there’s only 3 pics that look almost like stock photos but if that’s the bag from the outside it definitely appears to be authentic. The fakes are so often not the correct proportions for a foldover. I would like to see more pictures of the interior lining and a few other features but if it’s returnable and a trustworthy website I say go for it! Nothing at all stands out as fake whatsoever. It almost looks too perfect! Is this a resale site or new bags? Hope that helps and if you buy it just post a few more and I’ll help. Even if there’s no return policy the sale of fakes is illegal and you could open a case with your bank. Worse case scenario. But I don’t see anything wrong with this from the outside.

Thank you so much! The website sells all new items, so its not resale. I went ahead and purchased the bag and will post more photos when I receive it. Thank you again!

Hello. I was hoping to see if someone could tell me whether this bag is fake. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/143166569024

There is only 1 inside tag and it looks like this.The font is not as bold and there is no season underneath....

Hi! I see the item is no longer available but it’s authentic in my opinion. I have the same bag and it looks good. Did you purchase it?

Thank you so much.

Have you come across these colours before? I’m worried I haven’t really seen them before.

Yes I have seen the light blue with burgundy stitching. Is that the bag you’re referring to? Usually fakes are common colors and styles but they’re always off in some way. If you have more questions feel free to ask. I believe I’ve seen this on Farfetch.

Hi

Sorry to bother you.

I saw this one and really liked it. But it’s 99£ so worry might be fake? Thank you so much

It’s a little hard to see certain details. But I have never seen one shaped like this with rounded corners. It looks fake to me. The stitching isn’t tight and clean like authentic ones. The lining was a little too satiny looking. I would need closer pics to really determine but overall from what I see it’s not authentic. It’s no longer available. Did you purchase it? If so I’ll ask for a few close ups then I can be positive. But some things are very off about it. Hope that helps! I agree that sometimes a price too good to be true is suspicious. But it’s not impossible to find an authentic one for a great deal. I bought my black mini for $150 US and it was like new and only used twice for a commercial. But you have to stalk these bags constantly to find really great deals. I have 2 other minis I paid $500 for. I would say for $300 US you can definitely find a nice authentic Falabella. I also recently bought a new salmon colored small crossbody for $130. Never go by feedback but check if they’ve sold the same or similar bags, especially the most popular ones, those new for low starting auctions are almost always fake. Hope that helps!

Good call cause I had my doubts. Never seen one like that and stitching appeared loose. I couldn’t see the inside well enough but it doesn’t matter. Feel free to post any you’re unsure of and I can try and help. I try to check here daily. I just hate seeing anyone scammed with fakes! [emoji35]

I just looked again and think you dodged a bullet..lol these 2 pictures are concerning. The loose big stitching and the Stella circle is not engraved deep dots. Even my little wallet has a deeper dotted smaller circle. IMG_1852.JPGIMG_1853.JPGIMG_8635.JPG
