Ebay is a great way to get a bargain on designer items but there's nothing worse than paying a lot of money and only then reading an authentication guide.. and realising your item is not authentic.. and a genuine fake!
I hope you find this guide about Jimmy Choo handbags before you purchase your item, and not after.... It is specifically geared up to describe how to recognise authentic Mahalas and Maddies but the principles are the same for all styles, and may be applicable to Ramonas and Rikis.
1. Just because a listing states an item is authentic does not guarantee it, and neither does a high starting price. However, a very low starting price would be worrying. Previous good feedback alone does not signify an authentic Jimmy Choo seller - other people may have been conned by fake items. Read on...
2. Look at the inside tag and the lettering.
Authentic: The inside tag is always lilac. Tags must be metal not plastic. The word JIMMY CHOO is made of clean cut letters. The 'M' from Made in Italy is always directly under the first 'M' in JIMMY CHOO.
Fake: The lettering is not clean or sharply cut, instead being thick and cheap looking, especially obvious with the letter 'O'. Also the horizontal bar of the letter 'H' should be approximately 75% of the way up the letter 'H' rather than in the middle.
The gold JIMMY CHOO engraving on fake items is approximately 1/2 inch lower than on authentic bags.
