I’m pretty sure it’s fake. Look at the second picture the seller posted up: the little silver knobs should have engravings on them, or at least they would if the bag were real. Also, I googled “spot a fake juicy couture bag” and all the guides said Juicy never wraps anything in clear plastic. Also, the seller says that the mirror strap says “I am the fairest”, but fake bags have begun putting that feature in too: without a picture showing the embossed text on the mirror strap, it’s not a sign of authenticity. Finally, google “kingtide bag factory” and look at their Juicy bags. The lining of their FAKE bags match the lining of this bag exactly. Also, the silver pockets on this bag look way too shiny to be real, Juicy quality leather.

Don’t bid. Even if the seller says it’s authentic, don’t trust it; the seller may have been tricked as well. Personally, I’d prefer to pay the full price for a Juicy bag at Nordstrom just to get the guarantee that it’s real.

EDIT: From the kingtide bag factory website…this FAKE lining sure looks exactly like the lining in that Ebay auction, don’t you think?

EDIT 2: Okay I looked at this bag on juicycouture.com, and the top rivets aren’t supposed to have engraving, so that’s fine. I also looked at some of the versions of this bag that are selling on ebay for much closer to the suggested retail price (higher chance of being authentic), and they all have the same lining, tags, and inside pockets. I’m honestly not so sure anymore. If that’s a fake, it’s very good. Nevertheless, I would still stand by my decision to buy for full price from Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom, just for the real 100% guarantee of authenticity. Here’s the link to this bag, still on sale at juicycouture.com:

Whatever you choose to do, however, is up to you. Good luck!
