Spot the fake: the Lindy — five tells in listing photos

The Hause runs this check on every Lindy that crosses the desk, and you can run most of it from listing photos alone. One: the turn-lock sits dead centre where the two zip runs meet, and both zips glide to it symmetrically. Two: the zip pulls and lock carry clean Hermès engraving — fuzzy lettering is a stop. Three: the blind stamp hides under the flap tab; ask for it by name. Four: Clemence slouches softly at the sides — stiff, crackly leather is wrong for this bag. Five: the fortune-cookie fold only happens when the construction is right; a fake Lindy looks like a tote pretending. Post a listing you're unsure about and we'll work through it together.
