Versace Authentication Thread

[rbaby]

Yes, I see... the first pic was sideways. I was in the Versace boutique last weekend, and all the new styles had four tiny flat head looking screws on each corner of the interior tag. Also, the coco and python bags had metal interior tags (not croco / python) embossed tags. HTH!

Hi,
Can you please help me authenticate this one?
I bought it on Ebay Germany for 200 USD.
Everything looks ok, thich great leather, perfect stitches, great shape. I only have one doubt - it has no tag inside near the zipper. It could be because this is an older bag, however I want to check with you.
I found smth similar - not very - on ebay.com from a trusted seller http://cgi.ebay.com/GIANNI-VERSACE-...ryZ63852QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thank you

Thank you

I'm so sorry, but this is a fake The Medusa logo is completely wrong... it looks like a bad imitation of a native American wearing a headdress. The real logo looks more like a goddess. Check out the logo on Versace.com. I suggest you try to get your money back ASAP!

Oh, and the backpack that you linked is a terrible fake too! Again, I'm so sorry.

I should have checked before buying, but I discovered the Purse forum only after.......
I asked the German seller for a refund, he seems serious with 2000 eval and 99,7 positive.
I'll let you know if I get it.....

Thanks so much, at least I won't make a fool of myself proudly wearing a fake

Hi, in looking for info about this Gianni Versace bag, I found your website, and what a wonderful resource and what a fun read it is!

I sell clothing on ebay, and I'm learning about the purses I'm starting to pick up (but somehow the Coach purses I've found have never made it to auction ). Yesterday I found this purse, and know nothing about Versace purses (although I have sold some of his neckties). In looking around here, none of the real or faux purses look like this mild-mannered purse. Is it real? Just old? or a dismal fake? Thanks so much for your thoughts and opinions!

The bag has no logos or name on the outside - the metal on front isn't engraved.

When the shoulder strap is unsnapped, the "receiver" snaps are stamped "STOCKO--4--".

The soldering on the "spear" in front is sort of messy, and the chain holding the spear is heavy, and the soldering on each of the links is apparent, too. (although I'm not familiar with soldering work, maybe this is the way it is, good quality or not).

The bag does feel like very nice leather.

The lining is printed with "Gianni Versace", then a space of 3 inches, then the name again, rows of this, separated by light blue lines.

The nameplate is leather, not metal, and the stitching goes a bit into the lettering of "Made in Italy".

I think the zip pull on the pocket is stamped "ITPO" or "OPTI".

And the pics:

I'm sorry, but this is a fake. You are right, the craftmanship of a Versace (even an older one) is never this poor!

Sorry about the delay! I cannot see the pics. Can you try uploading them another way, or maybe posting a link?

 

[ajchloelover]

sorry about that i'm not true computer savvy so i will try another way .

Thank you so much, rbaby. In addition to the poor workmanship, do you know if the lining and the inside label are indications of a fake, too - that is, no real Versace bags had linings or labels like that?

Thanks so much!

I would like to see a close up of the Medusa icons on the frame closure of the bag, but so far this looks good to me!
