Tokidoki a Guide to Buying Authentic Bags on s

It can be difficult to determine ifyour favorite must have tokidoki purse is authentic or not, especially when you are buying it without seeing or touching itin person or if you are not that familiar with the brand. I do have a few simple tips for determining if a purse is authentic or not.
Does the purse have the carabiner cord?
I have yet to see any fake purses that have theBLACK andWHITEstretch cord with the carabiner having LeSportsac etched on both sides beware of ones that just have solid black stretch cords those are a new generation of SUPER FAKES! (Some purses may have gotten seperated from their carabiner, this doesn't make them fake but they should still have the checkered black and white cord attached to the purse as it is sewn inside, the carabiner however can be removed from the cord.)
Does the backside of the zipper say riri M6 and does the qee have the red star on the arm?
I get a lot of requests asking for closeup pictures of the qee and the riri M6 on the backside of the zipper however I always try to tell my buyers that the qee alone (which should have the red star on the arm) and the riri M6 zipper pics aren't going to prove if that particular purse is authentic.My rational is having tried to take close up pictures of the riri M6 I can say that there is no way to take the photo and show that it actuallybelongs with the same purse that is for sale. So if a seller of fakes wanted to dupe a buyerthey couldtake the picture of the inside of the zipper showing a riri M6 or copy one from the internet and it might not even go to the same bag that you would be bidding on. So personally if I am spending a lot of money on a tokidoki bag I would rather see a photo of the exact bag with the carabiner sticking outside of it rather than a generic shot of qee or inside riri M6 zipper shot.
