HI again, just got the response from gucci.com re some details of this style, hope it’s helpful for you guys:
I would like to confirm that the closure of the ‘chain’ hobo is very unique. There is no zipper or magnetic closure. The bag is structured so that the two sides fold over each other, completely sealing off the handbag. Please note that there is an inside zip compartment that can easily accommodate your more personal items. The lining is either a plain or printed canvas.

CHEERS

Just went through all the blog. Oh Dear! Have a few real Gucci bags of different styles bought in department stores.. Got tempted and bought this style in ostrich on ebay a few days back, will have it shipped later. Got concerned about the authenticity and contacted another buyer who got the gucci bag from this ebay seller, he’s happy with it but is the guy who wouldn’t really tell the diff I think.. Just sent a message to gucci.com shopping assistant with pecular questions re lining, closure, etc as they have this style for sale in 4 versions. The buyer did not have more pictures but assured it is authentic, will let know in early April if it IS! I certainly can tell if the bag is a fake, I own very many of the luxury brands, only a few bought on ebay and just one was fake. Some authentic ebay bags are hugely reduced as they were bought in outlets as factory seconds (minor imperfections, even upsidedown logo inside), still they were authentic. The best way I guess is to compare with what you have or head to the store, don’t head to Hermes though – they will confiscate the fake! Will let know later about current ebay gucci one. CHEERS!

Hi all,
Just a note, I worked at Neiman’s and have several real Gucci bags but I also have a couple of copy bags. I went to the Gucci store and asked how can I tell a real from a fake and the sales people stated, that unless you buy from an authorized retailer, some of the copies now look so similiar that even the Gucci associates cannot tell. I have bags that are copies that are made of real calfskin with high quality hardware, no one can tell. Also, one of my real Gucci bags that I bought at Neiman’s broke a strap, I took it to Neiman’s and they told me that they may be able to repair it if I wanted to pay for shipping the repair, over $100. So basically I paid over $1000 for a real Gucci and the strap broke after only a few wears,and I have had the bag since 2002. So I don’t care what people say, know what you are buying. Don’t buy a cheaply made bag, for any price $10 or $1000. Some fakes last longer than the real thing, just know what you are looking for. Oh, and P.S. Some bags do come with the controllato card and some don’t, it depends on the bag, i.e. price, exclusivity, etc…

I baught this bag for my wife this christmas. She is concerned that the bag is old and no longer in style. For this kind of money, she wants something more up to date. Ladies…what do you think? Does she have a good point?

Ok, I am going to be straight forward and honest. When it comes to gucci or any other luxury purse …you HAVE to buy either from the actual store or a REPUTABLE seller (Neiman Marcus, Eluxury.com, Saksfifth Avenue). I have sold coach and dooney and burke’s on ebay but I wouldn’t risk selling my louis or gucci…be careful because there are a LOT of fakes out there pretending to be real.

If you are looking for a style that is from another year, try contacting the actual company…they usually have a customer service number and they will assist you with anything and will help find anything vintage for you…

Another smart reason to buy authentic is the guarantee you get. When my louis vuitton was starting to go through its wear and tear I was able to send it to the company and they made repairs and shipped it back to me for FREE!

My advice, don’t buy faux…it looks tacky and it will usually be a waste of money because the quality will be horrible. Instead, take the money you do have and invest in something else, that is affordable…if you can’t afford Gucci, buy Coach or Kooba. Those are fashionable brands that will look chic and will keep you from eating soup for the month…Happy Shopping!!!

Does anyone know where I can purchase this bag authentic? Since it’s from 2005 I’m having a hard time finding one. I don’t want to try ebay or unknown websites.

Hello I just bought a gucci horsebit from ebay and she said that it was real, I paid 600.00 for it, I also ask her how could you tell the fake from the real and she replied that it should have a stitch running down the center, is that true? The hardware is a light gold she also send me a lot of pic’s

Don’t buy anything off of a website – I’ve tried a few times and they are always fake – the best you can do is find a used one on the web – I actually had a bag come from China, but listed as from Italy – and the email was in Italian. When the bag arrived, it was an obvious fake. Unless its used, go to a reputable dealer for the bag. If you do try to buy one online, make sure they have a clear return policy.
