Jimmy Choo handbags are soooo sexy, everyone should have one in their collection. The Jimmy Choo Ramona handbag is a classic favorite of mine, but there are so many others – like the Olivia. The workmanship is incredible on these bags that are Made in Italy. As always – look for the Jimmy Choo nameplate inside the bag for authenticity. Here are some Jimmy Choo bags used and new in auctions ending soon:

Get an authentic Balenciaga handbag by learning to sniff out the fake knockoffs!

A good Balenciaga handbag can cost upwards of $1,000, so it’s important to know what to look for when you’re shopping – especially if you’re handbag shopping on eBay! Be sure to look for the silver nameplate that has the serial number. Pay attention to details, like the quality and workmanship – especially the stitching. If you can touch the bag in person, it should be very lightweight and never stiff. The goat’s leather that Balenciaga uses for it’s bag is a bit shiny and really holds up over time (the bags get better with age). If a bag looks really, really worn with signs of age – it may not be authentic! Because of the last two points, when a bag will slouch a bit while setting, like any good leather would. Also check for a contralloto card inside the mirror pocket. Don’t buy bags online from sellers without LOTS of nearly 100% feedback and hundreds of transactions or more.

If you are going to pay good money to buy a real Chanel designer handbag, then the last thing you want to do is get caught up in buying a fake or knockoff bag and not know it. By knowing what to look for, you can be sure to get an authentic Chanel handbag every time.

This is most important:

Gold or silver CHANEL stamp on the interior leather . There is a gold stamp if the hardware is gold, and a silver stamp if the hardware is silver. The CHANEL stamp is in front of the interior open pocket, above the interior open pocket, or in the lower portion of the interior flap. The MADE IN FRANCE or MADE IN ITALY stamp is either gold or silver, depending on the hardware, and is directly under the CHANEL stamp or at the opposite side of the CHANEL stamp.

All handbags and accessories (wallets, palm pilot cases, key holders and agendas) made in the late 1990′s to present have a small white rectangular sticker with two gold circle cc logos. Below the logos is a black 7-digit serial number. For 2005 and beyond, the serial number is 8 digits. The sticker is covered with a sticky clear tape. The white sticker is divided into four separate sections (4 triangles) and can be peeled off. The left side of the sticker is a thick light black/purple line (you will not see this line if the interior is black, brown or navy). The right side has CHANEL, CC, CHANEL, CC (don’t worry if CHANEL is cut off and you will not see this if the interior is black, brown or navy). The 7-digit or 8-digit serial number on the sticker must match the serial number on the authenticity card.

anyone who says these things is probably selling a fake:
# cannot guarantee authenticity
# no guarantees of authenticity
# Chanel Style
# Chanel Knockoff
# Chanel Look-A-Like
# Chanel Copy

Also – you can get your handbag authenticated in the eBay Purse Discussion Forums by someone knowledgable.
