The first one is from Tory Burch website, the newest version of Robinson
The second one is from 2012, I have it in hand.
The third one is from 2013 winter. I have it in hand. (hardware is different too)
they changed the leather back to the oldest version, why? from the comparison of two bags putting together, it's not hard to tell, the soft one couldn't keep the shape firm and steady. and the best thing about Robinson is their shape, even without any stuff inside, it will still looks pretty.
Amanda line uses better leather, the first layer leather, but without extra stuff, it's hard to tell it's design.

and the blue one is manufactured in the same time as the 2012 black one. they have exact same leather just different color. and they don't sell the blue one on the website anymore, which I wasn't paying attention to the name of the color earlier, now I have no idea about the name of the color.

It's a good place to help the buyers, but I'm hoping authenticator have the knowledge about what you are saying...as a small seller, it will really put me in trouble, which since I just start to sell on ebay part-timely. now I'm spending extra time doing extra stuff...it wasn't my intention to argue in here.

So may I ask you, if you have any knowledge about the process of making leather, all the textures that not belong to the leather itself are paints, which is one form of plastic. and only second layer leather or damaged first layer leather will be processed in that way. Generally speaking, all Robinsons are using second layer leathers.
I'm new selling on Ebay, but I'm working in the fashion industry for over 5 years. I wonder who authorize you to authenticate stuff, what's your qualification? What makes you an expert to authenticate bags? If you are only buyer and volunteer, how many bags do you own?
and since Tory Burch changes their leather every season, do you know all the leathers they are using on Robinsons? Usually I respect what authenticator says on purseforum. But since Toryburchlove you are newly registered in June 2013, with not many posts but doing authentication for all the bags, please show me your qualification, then I will trust the words you said.

to harlem_cutie, I respect your opinion, and I'm sure you only authenticate the bags you are familiar with, but for the buyers' benefits, and for sellers' sake, please know your people who are doing the job. Otherwise it might bring serious problems to the forum.

The only bag that concerned me was the navy one and even after pics I am unsure. The only thing I have an issue it is with the leather. I cannot authenticate definitively so that's why I asked you to post more pics. I have no idea if it's real or fake at this point and that's my honest opinion. TB quality falling off is not going to help any sellers that are in this gray area. If you have receipts and tags then that would help. I own 3 Robinson double zips, a Dome tote and 12 wallets (:p). I have not looked at any in person recently because I've been busy but I am fairly confident in my ability to spot a fake Robinson, Amanda or Reva. Based on pics, I do believe your red, black and pink bags are authentic. I think as long as you offer returns you should be ok.

I am not affiliated with TB, am not employed with tPF and all my authentications are opinions. I always advise everyone to get another opinion. Some bags are obviously fake but there are others that really make you scratch your head (like all of the Middys that were popping up from the UK in January). Peace of mind is priceless. TB is constantly changing styles and manufacturing process so it is getting harder and harder to properly authenticate anything from the Robinson line.

I recently bought my first TB bag at an outlet mall (premium outlets are popular here in texas) and noticed that the tag for both the purse and slim case wallet both said made in China. Is this correct?

I've bought LV bags and Gucci bags before (never bought from an outlet though) and they were made in France and Italy. I thought since TB was an American designer, the product would be made in the US.

I've tried to look up the style # for my bag, but nothing pulls up, which makes sense, since most of the time outlets carry the previous season styles, but the only flag I could see is tag where it says it was made.

Can someone clear this up for me?

Thank you for your understanding, and the blue one is authentic too, I had the 2013 winter version of the blue one, but it's sold last month and they stop selling the blue version too, which makes me have no way to prove it...I appreciated your time and your words. But I'm really hoping Toryburchlove can be more careful about her words, since she is doing as many authentications as you. and I'm really curious about her qualification, and if she can speak out, that would be helpful.The difference between one bag to another, doesn't make the bag fake. as long as it's from Tory Burch, it's a real one. Just like their new bags with falling quality, that doesn't make the bags fake, just means Tory Burch has things to work on. Anyway, I appreciated, Thank you

all TB is made in China. Post a pic of your bag and we can help identify style and season. It should also be on the tag.

authentic.

shopaholic_yuki - at the end of the day we are all here just trying to help each other. It's a shame that so many fakes have flooded the market that even authentic bags can get caught in the middle.

Can we see a pic of the tag? Also, how many card slots are there? Looks ok so far but this is a very commonly faked item so just want to be sure. Also ask if there is a "made in china" tag and where is it located. Thanks!
