I ran into a couple of women at the mall wearing a fake TB cross body and the noticeable differences were: first of all the style of the cross body, but if you are not familiar with the TB styles over the years you cannot miss the oversized round "reva" type logo that looked like it was made of shiny plastic. As far as pictures (ebay, posh etc.) I think look at the logo (you can tell from a picture that it is metal, not plastic), the stitching and the piping detail. The piping is the rubber-like material that seals the ends of the handles and edge of the seams of the bag.

Oh, and one more thing: I have been soooo tempted to say something when I see someone with a fake, like "really? who are you fooling?" but I know it would be rude so I never do....

Do the Tory Burch dust bags vary? I know they vary in color, but I just got one with a Tradesy bag and it smells mildewy and the threading is tied at both ends on top - never have seen that before. And the charm is tied on, very different from any of the bags I've gotten from ToryBurch.com.

Bottom picture - Dust bag from Tory Burch.com
Second from bottom picture - the bag that I believe is fake on the left, original on the right. Bag on left is very stiff, smells like mildew and the tie is cut and tied on each end. Also the color is different in the bags. The texture of the off white and the color strip is very different from the original on the right, which doesn't seem to show up in the pic.

The material they are made of seems the same, linen like fabric. Maybe they tied the logo medallion because the string of the dust bag sometimes tears. There may be an explanation for the smell too, if they stored the bag in the basement or something. (Did it come from humid climate?) If the bag you purchased is real, I wouldn't worry about the dust bag. If you purchase from the retail store next time ask them for a spare.

I purchased from Tradesy, that's why I question it. Thank you for your reply - much appreciated!

Follow-up to my post - I called TB customer service. They offered to send me a gift card for the price of my bag if I sent it back to them. At first I didn't want to part with this bag, but am reconsidering.

Hi everyone,

I have bought a Marion chain-shoulder slouchy tote.
While I hv found that the tag is a bit different from the usual one(the right one is the one I bought in store).
You can see that the "1" got a different font. Also the bottom tear-able part is longer than the right one.
So I wonder if I got a fake bag or aty its usually to hv different formats of the tag.

Thanks so much!!

This isn't directed at any post in particular but I find it strange we've had so many posts lately about the finer details about TB purchases such as tags, hardware and dust bags. If we start discussing and providing all of the details for these items then it makes it much easier for counterfeiters to refine their products. I might be paranoid but this is how I feel.

If you want a bag authenticated then post a picture. Guidelines are in my signature. Descriptions are not helpful as there are many variations and nuances. If you want to check to see if a style exists or have a quick question then you can use the chat thread.You can use the chat thread for anything except authentication.

I have the Marion Slouchy Tote, ordered from toryburch.com so definitely authentic. My fonts match the tag to your Robinson Mini. IMG_1477603357.113004.jpg

I agree with harlem_cutie about not providing too many details but I have another theory also. It is that if counterfeiters try to perfect too many details it will make their fake products more expensive. They are usually making a cheap product so they may not try to perfect many of the details. I think the more expensive brands like Prada and such we worry about perfected details in fakes. Maybe I'm wrong but the few TB fakes I saw were so obviously fake.
