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?


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.:sad:
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. :flowers:

Yes agree with others. Best get it authenticated. The stamping font actually look consistent with some vintage pieces I have from 1980s.
 
Hi PF friends, in regards to stitching, the stitching on the handles of my Lindy is a darker color than the stitching for the rest of the bag. Is this normal or did Rebag sell me a fake? I’m so unsure!

Thanks in advance!🙏

We cannot comment on details of authenticity here, so you will need to use a paid service. I’d also recommend doing a search in the forum. Best of luck! :heart:
 
Ebay Kleinanzeigen: there have been several vintage croc bags with this stamp recently (not the accent above the e in Honore in the wrong direction); they are always advertised for 350€, and seem to have been stamped retrospectively?
