Purchased an obvious fake from TheRealReal aka TheFauxFaux. Using my navy Evelyne purchased directly from Hermes as reference. Embossment font appears incorrect. No serial numbers on clasps. No embossment on straps. Non-adjustable strap. Stitching coming undone from strap. Correct me if I'm wrong, but how can TRR sell such embarrassing fakes?
Totally agree with @r luvs h, Evelynes have changed in details over the years from having no front pocket to more recently having an adjustable strap. The best way to be sure is to get the bag authenticated. The Evelyne thread in the Clubhouse section of the forum also has lots of info on the bag’s evolution.Authenticity aside, you’re comparing a clearly older bag to a clearly newer bag; of course details will vary. If you have any doubts, you should send good, clear pictures to a credible third-party authenticator.
On a separate note, TRR does have a history of misidentifying and mis-authenticating Hermès items, unfortunately.![]()
