Not sure but I believe this is fake. Seller is ilovetosh-58 (0). Their story is that it was a gift that someone bought them from an estate sale in New York and other than that, they have made no attempt to authenticate the bag. They state they “don’t know many details about the bag’s history or authenticity.” When I emailed and asked them if they would be willing to use an authentication service (as is provided for protection through EBay), they basically replied no, and that they are “in the process of a huge move. The bag never came authenticated nor did [they] have it authenticated since [they] really didn’t bother because [they] never wore it nor, quite frankly, like Hermès bags. Doesn’t fit [their] lifestyle. [They] appreciate[d] [my] concerns and have felt have been open about history of the bag.” They further went on to say that if I “have doubts or feel uncomfortable, please do not bid. [They] always want to be certain before [they] bid or buy something.” However, this person has zero feedback so as a buyer they have never actually bid on or bought anything, and as a seller of a pricey luxury good they have made no attempt to verify its authencity. There are so many red flags, I really feel bad for whoever spends thousands of dollars on this counterfeit (though granted, I believe it is a well done counterfeit). If it’s not fake, then I guess I will eat my hat, but there’s a lot of red flags here and hopefully wanted to try to warn others away from a possible/ provable fake and a scam from someone who is “moving” and then likely the buyer will never be able to track down for a refund.

Actually, this 2017 YouTube video is absolutely fascinating.
This woman found a handbag in a vintage shop for only $9.99, but the workmanship is incredible.
The bag is made to look like a Kelly Sellier.
What are your thoughts? Fake or real? Even the woman is stumped.
