Fake FAFI NEED Expert help

[aLove4MakeUp]

I tried searching for a similar thread but honestly couldn't find one. So, I apologize in advance if this is already on the forum. I don't buy MAC on ebay because I know there's so many fakes out there. I am, however interested in buying a makeup bag from the FAFI collection. I'm new to MAC so I'm not as good as many of you at spotting a counterfeit item. Especially if it's a makeup bag. I don't even know if counterfeit FAFI bags are out there. I'm just double checking. I found a few of them on ebay and wanted some opinions on their authenticity b4 I place my order. Below I've posted links to the ones I found on ebay. The first two are the small makeup bag and the last is the mini. I've never seen them in person so I honestly don't know what size is best to place in my purse for everyday use. What do you girls think?

They all look like the real thing, but are priced very very high. I just purchased one from Birch Run, MI CCO for $12.25(for the small not mini) about 2 months ago. They had a bin full of FAFI bags. I would suggest calling your CCO if you have one near you 1st. Sometimes the CCO can even hold items for you(at least they told me they could). If I was going to the CCO I would check for you but I won't be that way for a month or 2 at least.

I live almost 2hrs from the nearest CCO which is in the Woodbury Common outlet. I figured the makeup bag is something I could maybe find there but unfortunately I can't make that trip anytime soon

Why not post a CP request here? Someone else near you may be making a trip there anyway.

the second and third items look like stock photos so you can't count on them. I haven't seen the bags counterfeited though, and the first one looks like the real thing.

as people have mentioned these ones are kind of pricey though.
