I'm not an expert on MG bags but they look off to me. Especially the mini size doesn't come with a zip pouch, I wonder where that comes from.

Thank you so much DollyGirl for confirming what I was thinking. I'm definitely not very familiar with MG bags so I truly appreciate your input. I had no idea that the mini size didn't even come with a zip pouch! It has been advertised as 9.5 inches x 8 inches x 4.5 inches (I was getting all confused with the sizes) :thinkin:So very sneaky - giving this one a miss for sure.

Thanks again lovely!! :heart::kiss:

Just looked at my bucket and the straps are stitched all the way to the end.

I have the mini Black Flamma.The bow tie is stitched to the end, mini has no wallet and the wallets has no bullets and the bag overall looks different. It's not a Mansur!! But scary how it looks very much like it and if you didn't own or seen one you could be misled!

Hi! Is anyone with the mini black/flamma able to please confirm whether this bag below is authentic or not?

Where the bag has been tied with the bow in the first pic, the stitching on the end of the strap seems a bit odd to me (I thought MG bag straps were stitched right to the end of the piece of leather) :thinkin:

In the second photo of the envelope wallet, the zip strap appears to have a silver/shiny metal bullet -- is this normal for MG bags purchased Dec 2014?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If this bag was advertised as an authentic MG bag, be sure to report! [emoji49]

Can someone post a pic of the lady bag? I don't even know what it looks like.
I have the black/flamma mini bucket, I'm carrying it this week, and I'm very fond of it.
I got it thru PS Dept, I think the wait time was about 2 months.

I don't know how you all do that cool treatment with the draw string. I don't know how to tie a neck tie & neither does DH!

I know, hey! At first glance I honestly did not think much of it (being unfamiliar with these bags). And then gut instinct told me something wasn't quite right. You've been so helpful, thank you royalpink! Enjoy your mini Black Flamma! :heart:

Thank you skyqueen! I will definitely be reporting this one - would hate for anyone else to fall into the trap and spend their hard earned money on a fake! :tdown:

Thanks ladies, you've all been amazing in helping me. xx

Thanks for posting this. Scary there are fakes of this bag already. One thing I noticed is that the tie is rounded on the ends, a real one is cut straight. I hope you get your money back. This definitely will make me steer clear of buying off anyone who isn't legit. I have looked at ebay and seeing that one person has like 8 for sale, some others who have zero feedback and not one person allows returns.. this kind of seals the deal to stay away.

Do you mind sharing the seller's name? I'd like to take a look at their listings. Is it eBay?
