@Vu

I have both the 556 and the 554 (http://www.aaronlam.com/blog/2008/08/14/belstaff-554-large-colonial-shoulder-bag/)

I got my 556 from a private seller and the 554 here: http://www.belstaff-deutschland.de/ (It’s a German dealer).

For the 556…
Fred Segal Trend in Santa Monica CA has them if you want to call. I am going to hold off referring to JCrew until I resolve Stanley’s.

The new bags should all have the stitched buckles… I believe Belstaff has switched back to that design.

@Stanley

That doesn’t sound right at all. But it seems unlikely that JCrew would be selling fakes. On their website, it does say Made in Italy and the picture has a black label.

I have a friend who works at JCrew… let me check with her and get back to you.

Hey Aron,
I just picked up a Belstaff 556 from J.Crew, but it’s made in Bulgaria (not Italy like other people mentioned), and the big logo patch on the back of the bag flip is brown, not black like yours.
I was wondering if Belstaff changed the manufacturing factory or i got a fake?
No magnetic buckles though.
Thanks.

@Vu and is yours (the 554 and 556) with magnet buckles or stitched on buckles?

Where did you get yours? I want one so badly, but I hate the one with the magnets. I want the buckles stitch to it. If you could give me like a website or something, that would be great!
