It was a gift to my sister from her MIL last christmas. They live overseas in the middle east. So was not purchased in the states, if that makes a difference, but either in the Middle East or in Europe (they travel a lot). They both wear and buy a lot of nice stuff but I was saying I thought this one might be fake cause it doesn't have a Authenticity number. Would love your opinions. She doesn't want to carry a fake bag.
thanks!

Need to see a close up clear photo of the entire area around the inside zipper and the embossing on the hardware.

Sorry I took so long Kroquet, email me next time ;). It's authentic. I used to own this style, it's a pain to get in and out of this bag... If you carry it on the crook of your arm or wrist it tips forward... I never got the hang of this bag...

I got the same bag posted in the first message: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayIS...GB:1123&clk_rvr_id=297401741917#ht_500wt_1204

Seller told me she got the bag in an outlet store. Since I've reviewed "authenticity" guidelines on E-Bay, I got concerned: no visible screws inside, handles don't swivel, leather is too smooth and doesn't feel like leather. Workmanship is good.

Are screws ALWAYS visible inside on "original" d-bag models? Do handles swivel ALWAYS? It is not a large bag, it is a media (medium).

Thanks a million for your feedback!

Authentic.

Thanks, Bag Lady:

It's a relief. Do they really sell this kind in outlets only nowadays? How much are they there? Is it a new generation without screws inside and with hands that don't move?:smile1:

Hi,

Thank you for your confirmation. No I didn't win. This wallet was own and sold by my friend of friend. She knew this was authentic and I had seen it myself that it was authentic. I think she got a scammer who tried to get a free wallet out of her. When she received the payment & sent the wallet out; she got a message from paypal that the payment was not authorised so she needed to proof that she had sent it out luckily it was sent by recorded delivery then paypal returned the money back into her account. Then yesterday, the seller claimed a case via paypal again said that the wallet was not authentic. So now, she got to deal with this and her money was held by paypal. Weird thing, that person purchased via ebay and opened all the cases via paypal, I can only think that this is a work of scammer. I hope this can be a proof to paypal that the wallet is a genuine one; not a fake like the buyer claimed.

Sorry your friend has to go through this. Sounds like buyers remorse. Hopefully PayPal will see through this buyer and rule in favor of your friend. Have your friend post on the eBay subforum, she may get some good advice on how to deal with this buyer.

Hi!
I get to see this model being sold from a second hand shop. I kinda like it coz it looks so nice but hesitant since I have no knowledge whatsoever on how to identify a fake from an authentic piece. Can anyone please help me on this? What should I look for to see if the item is authentic? The bag is in light green color... close to being "apple green". The handle and trims are in light brown color, somewhat beige. Does this bag color ever been produced by Tod's? Do I need to check if metal feet show an engraved "TOD'S"? Also, can anyone tell when was this model released?

Item name: G-Bag Easy Sacca Media
Item number: RP17BW4C
Seller: Madam Milan
Link: http://www.madammilan.com.sg/brands...=9030&osCsid=7abdfc925996286cd6c381afd39c4241

This shop so far, in my opinion, has been reliable for selling authentic stuffs. I haven't heard of any complaint (yet) about them regarding fake issues. Still, I don't wanna let myself off guard. Thank you so much!
