Without an authenticator, unless a member chimes in and knows for sure, what you have to go on is the seller. Do you trust them and what’s their track record?

As to price, if you love it and you have the money, it’s always worth it! Good luck.

Track record seems legitimate but there's always a fear and uncertainty as a first time buyer. And $300 is not exactly a sum to throw around whether I have the money or not I'm actually deciding between this and a navy patent version.

hi! I just bought my third MBMJ bag, and realized we don't have an authenticator here. it looks good to me, compares well with my other bags, it went through vestiaire checkup as well, but I still feel like I'm missing that final step - confirmation on this forum am I crazy? I always check everything here and now I don't know what to do. I used to authenticate gucci here so I know what to look for in general... but still, when I tried the same approach for balenciagas, I was horrified at how sophisticated some of the fakes are, you really need an experienced eye of someone who knows a thing or two about the brand.
so is there anyone here with maybe more MBMJ bags who'd be willing to take a look?

Why don’t you post pictures, maybe someone else has this bag and would have an opinion.

To me... I think the quality of rubber coating on the edges of the bag and the leather tassels gives a big clue. If the coating is not clean or looks sloppy and messy, that's when I think it might be a fake. Yours looks okay i think.

Do we have "Authenticate this MJ " Thread here?

There’s no authenticator at this time. You could always post here and see if someone has an opinion, keeping in mind we are just winging it.

Hi!

I am a newbie to this group and I badly need help in authenticating my recent purchase. I purchased it from an online seller on ebay claiming it’s from SAKS. I am residing outside US so I do not have the knowledge and means to check personally. Please help me.

 

[AmelieH]

I have no experience with newer MJ bags. No help here sorry! There is no Authenticator at this Forum but please wait for someone to chime in.

I'm very late to the MJ wagon - I couldn't afford luxury back then. But the burgeoning 2nd hand market is a joy and enabler as I love the older styles. I've always wanted an icy leather MJ bag, preferably a stam. I've read up on the MJ forum everything that's said about the icy leathers. However, it's really hard to tell from online photos. As far as I can tell the indicator should be pebbly with a slight sheen. Ist this it? Not necessarily buying at this point but want to know how to tell when I do find one. Thanks!

Some photo angle makes a bag looks pebbly. What about this - is this icy leather?
