GUCCI PELHAM GUIDE II
This is continued from Gucci Pelham Guide I. It will contain mostly photos.
The Gucci Pelham Horsebit & Peggy Bags are the most copied Gucci bags made.
The medium Pelham bag retailed for ~$1,295.00 in 2006 when I purchased mine. In January 2009 it is selling for (MRSP) 1,595.00. We are still seeing about 80% of the Gucci bags listed are still counterfeit copies.
I am not saying you can't find an authentic Gucci on eBay, because you can. You just need to do your research prior to bidding. Research the bag you are looking for and research the seller.
I would go to one or all three of the following websites where you can post the auction for an opinion. These ladies volunteer their time and are very knowledgeable and happy to help. The sites are www.KnowKnockOffsForum, www.ThePurseForum and eBay's handbag and accessory board.
