Are these Louis Vuitton's fake or real???

[slbarto]

I am actually asking the question for myself...as in, they are MY ebay postings. I am helping a friend (yes, truly) and her daugther received these as a gift. Apparently, her dad bought them off of his brother's girlfriend (see why I'm skeptical???)

My friend told me her daughter had authenticated it on the internet but we couldn't find her paperwork (her daughter was at her dad's house). But I am looking and am becoming more skeptical.

They truly look authentic (to a person who has never seen one in person!). It feels like quality. There are Louis Vuitton leather tags sewn inside (they are square and sit right below the little pocket, centered). Also, the both have little rectangular leather tags sewn into the side (one sits horizontal and the other is vertical). One has M-00-168888 and the other has M51980. I don't remember which is which (it is in the listings).

They are:
Item number: 130213748457
Item number: 130213749097

If you look at my rating, you will see...I'm not out to scam anyone. This is another reason why I do not want to be selling fake bags without calling out that they are fake!!! I did put in the listing that there is question of their authenticity but I would like to be able to say more confidently one way or the other.

Any help or advice anyone can give would be GREATLY appreciated!

NEVER bid on a LV bag that only has one pic...they're more than likely fake. Also if they have that tag on them, they're fake.

These are bags in which I AM the seller...could you tell me where you found your information or is it just because you know a lot about louis vuitton? I want to tell my friend they are fake.

Okay the first auction is for a multicolor pochette. The biggest indication that the bag is a fake is the bow. The mc pochette does not have a bow. A more complicated indication is the colors in the pattern, those are incorrect.
The second auction you listed is for a cherry blossom pochette. I used to own one and I can tell you that the coloring is wrong.

Oh, I should also mention that the "leather" doesn't look like its even leather at all. That's pretty bad if I can tell that just from the pictures.
If you post pictures of the interiors of the bags, we can probably tell you what else is wrong with them.

Anyway, if you are selling these for a friend... I would say don't do it! It is not worth risking your feedback on ebay or your selling status. If someone reports your auctions, ebay will pull them and your account could get suspended. The wise thing to do would be to cancel the auctions yourself.

Thank you! I really appreciate your help!
