To Bid or not to bid on the juicy carrier - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

SgtPeppersMommy · 10-09-2007, 09:23 PM

Its authentic. The hardware definitely says juicy couture, on fakes it just has plain hardware. The liner is accurate, the stiching is pristene, the quilting is perfectly symetrical. I'd do it if you want it. It's really discreet. JUICY! in huge letters is not something I find attractive either, this one is really nice.

I really want it, but I want it to be authentic for that price tag. I have been looking around for an alternative...and I dont really like the other ones. A store around here is selling a petote one from probably a year ago and the leather is not as nice.

Am I nuts or what??? I keep telling myself to let it go...but then something is like BID BID BIDDDDDDDDDDDD...you will never find it again!!!

It is unlikely that it is authentic.
Last year we saw someone selling them for $68 each but you had to buy in groups of 3. It was from China.

It was not easy to get 2 others and ship it to them so we did not do it.
I think we were aware that they were not authentic, but it was only $68 and looked good.

I ended up getting one as a gift and it was too small for my 4.5 pounder ... so I sold it and someone got it for a steal!
Also, as someone else said, the bag can weigh more than your furbaby ... I found that to be the case ....

Be careful on eBay ....

I can't find a picture of that black quilted carrier on any site I trust right now. It came out about a year ago so that's why... Just trying to find a pic to compare to one I know is authentic. I just can't remember what that black one looked like.. The only thing that makes me wonder is that the gold is so shiny..most Juicy items have a muted gold or silver hardware, but they could have made it with shiny hardware.

I did find the carrier in pink and bronze on glamourdog's website. They don't have them for sale anymore but I thought you'd like to see pics of them: http://www.glamourdog.com/jucoquanca.html and http://www.glamourdog.com/jucoqubrpett.html

That gold hardware just really makes me wonder...be careful

AVERYxo · 10-09-2007, 11:35 PM

ive looked at this same style on ebay before(i wanted a different black leather one.. and this came up) i thought it was very cute also, but afraid to say.. NOT REAL!! Look at the tag on one of the last pictures.. it says 'LOVE G&P' and its SUPPOSED TO SAY "LOVE P&G"(the tag is all wrinkled too, which is weird) im sure its still a good bag-its cute!!.. but NOT REAL-so i wouldnt pay that much for it at all!! good luck though.

Itspuppyluv · 10-09-2007, 11:56 PM

It's a fake. Like MyfairLacy said, the hardware is shiny. Real Juicy bags have the muted gold. Plus, this seller is also selling a Louis Vuitton dog carrier for $280

and another fake Juicy.
It's a good thing you got out bidded but I feel sorry for the people who pay so much for a fake.

mizzwanned · 10-10-2007, 12:11 AM

Yes its def. a fake! It's supposed to be P&G, and also the hearts are way too shiny. I used to have an Authentic Juicy and the hearts weren't so shiny.

Itspuppyluv · 10-10-2007, 12:22 AM

I don't know when they started to change it but the newer bags do have G & P. Procter and Gamble were starting to make noise about trademarks so they switched it around. I still think it's a fake though.

grayxie · 10-10-2007, 03:42 AM

If your patient enough, keep an eye out for a YT member who may be selling a Juicy carrier in the future. Or wait for sales at Neimans, Saks, etc.

txshopper73 · 10-10-2007, 04:15 AM

$300 is a lot to pay for something that you're not sure of. I'd take the $300, save $50 more and get the authentic one. JMO

I can't say if it's authentic or not but I unknowingly bought a fake Juicy on Ebay

and the hardware does say Juicy Couture so I know you can't authenticate it based on that.

No, actually the older Juicy bags says LOVE P&G. But Proctor & Gamble tried to sue Juicy Couture for using P&G so Juicy Couture changed their label to LOVE G&P

kelsie123186 · 10-10-2007, 10:01 AM

Im pretty sure it is a fake also... one of the tell tale signs is that the hardware is too shiny... after you get done with shipping ect. you are pretty close to paying full price anyway... If you are going to spend money on a bag as mine as well spend just a little more and KNOW that it is real.... GOOD LUCK!

NewYorkieMom52 · 10-10-2007, 10:16 AM

Yeah I am kinda thinking it is fake. She actually has another one that has a little damage where her dog chewed it and is offering it to me for $160. I don't really know what I want to do. I am taking Geogia to the Juicy Store today so she can test out the one they have.

Here is the link of it.. http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/ca...=08-32962325-2

Who knows...maybe she won't like it? She is a picky lil thing. Also for anyone interested...this site is closing and there are great deals.

I would not trust Ebay (as I have been burned before with this kind of thing) I Would only buy if it comes with authenticity money-back guarantee.
