Very interesting looking at the whole series of stories on Sellier about the fake mini Kelly and also about a fake tweed Chanel 19 bag too. They basically said it was only the colour of the hardware on the Kelly that alerted them, the gold hardware they thought was too bright and brassy. It shows that there are super fakes out there that are very hard to spot, and even sales assistants in-store cannot tell, and they are not allowed to authenticate either by the sound of it! Being very careful using a re-seller is clearly the way to go. They must get fakes brought in all the time.
So hence no close ups of the mini Kelly, no comments about where it came from or the cost, it just appeared on the Provence trip. Also maybe Elsie knows that the hardware can be a giveaway - perhaps that is why it is always undone - although many peopel never do up the clasp. Whatever anyone thinks of Claire Chanelle she is pretty transparent about her bags, which ones she gets direct from Hermes and the vintage Chanels and Hermes blankets she gets from Luxury Promise. She aways does un-boxings and usually tells what she paid for it. Elsie is very very shady indeed about hers, and also the way she has treated the Birkin is ridiculous - claiming she loves the patina or as she says it patiner! Buys Twillys and then uses them on Amazon bags and not the Birkin or the Kelly - bizarre behaviour. Perhaps she will manifest the black Birkin she pictured the other day, she can certainly afford the super fake, even if its around £1000! I cannot wait until Teefers gets a real one, because it is coming soon i'm sure of that!
