Is This Montblanc Leather Genuine Or Fake And What Kind Of Model Is It?

[youngaviator]

I win it at an online auction web from japan. I don't know it is genuine or not and, i cant find any model like this on montblanc webpage.

 

[Chrissy]

Definitely fake. That might be why it isn't on the Mb web-site

[youngaviator]

If it's fake. HOw to relize it compare to real one?

[Chrissy]

It isn't made from any type of leather that Mb use. The logo isn't an authentic Mb logo. It doesn't have the black Montblanc design interior, it isn't a Mb design, and the strap is nothing like a Mb strap.

 

Apart from that it's a bag that you can put stuff in and carry

I'm not saying that it is genuine, but it looks like it is meant to be a messenger bag. Re the Logo, they have some bags with that type of 'badge',and they have used very similar straps (looks to be not in their usual design,but there you are) .... take a look at these, different but both with elements of yours:

ps ....An awful lot of items don't appear on the MB website .... and some items only appear on certain websites, such as Montblanc Russia

Montblanc never use that logo that says Mont above and Blanc below a logo.

 

The first bag you link to has a outer logo with a hole in the centre, not a black snowcap, and the second has a strap that clearly says the brand name which is Montblanc.

 

Edited: I see that even though the OP's strap does say Montblanc, the 'M' isn't like the authentic 'M' that Mb use.

 

This bag is the one that the fake is attempting to copy. Or maybe this one. Check out the exact shape of the authentic Montblanc 'M'

I havent received it yet. When i received it, i will check it out. I dont think that Japanese will sell these fake goods cause basically most of them are honest in business. And this is a big company that represent for auction items.

the stitching in the back is nothing like montblanc bags montblanc never does this kind of stitching

Well if it looks like the picture it's a fake. 100% fake absolutely no doubt whatsoever.

 

If you don't want to know then pretend you didn't ask the question.

I unfortunately also believe this is a counterfeit bag for all of the obvious reasons Chrissy has pointed out and especially because of the stitching patterns. Depending on the date of manufacture, MB leather goods have a little tag hidden somewhere which has a serial number on a hologram-like sticker. The 'leather' pull-put flap on this bag which has "Montblanc" stamped in it should also have a country or city stamped underneath it. The early leather goods said "Made in Hamburg" and newer ones can have Italy, France, Spain, Germany, or possibly others.

Well, after years of trying to impress on my partner to, whenever possible, never ever buy anything without first handling it or, at the very least, seeing very good photos first, especially if it purports to be a Montblanc .... at a local auction all that advice was ignored and they bid on a Montblanc leather shoulder bag without even taking a look at it! When I was given it to examine I could only say 'Well, it looks OK .. but wouldn't stake my life on it!' despite not being able to find anything identical to it.... It certainly looks the part, also nice and roomy with six separate sections, so is a useful bag. As they paid less than what you'd expect to spend on a common or garden leather satchel, well it wasn't a big gamble!

You do know it's a fake though, don't you? That's not a Montblanc snowflake logo.

All I'm going to admit to, Chrissy, is that '..... it looks OK' beyond tat I plead the fifth amendment! 'They're' producing some good stuff!

OK. I get where you're coming from.
