The original owner cut the tassles :-( But, there's an extra pair (which is starting to split). The tag kind of confuses me...there's a leather one AND a metal one? Or, is the leather one just the backside of the metal one?

Thanks for authenticating (more pics to come)!

Hi ladies,I just bought this bag.Real?Thanks.

Hauteocmom - that's correct
Leather one is the back of the interior metal tag..
The bag looks okay - but I am a but concerned w/ the silver tag because the font on it looks fuzzy..
*Or is it because of the illusion of the light or the camera?

Authentic. If you'd like - ask for a straight shot of the bale to be sure.

You should probably ask for authentication before you buy/win the bag.

This bag looks okay, but out of all the photos there is no straight shot of the bale, nor a clear shot of the rivet. You need both of these to confirm.

Looks good! I think the silver tag looks fuzzy because the plastic strip is still on it.

And I don't understand what you mean about the leather one and metal one. But on the First, there is a silver plate ontop of the leather tag - just like yours. The leather tag has imprinting on the back but nothing on the front of the leather tag itself (you could try to take a peek.)

Does that answer your question?

NO. It really isn't real. Bad fake, keep looking.

Thanks Jira!

I'm wondering why these three have the same serial number. Could it be just one bag that has been passed from one seller to another?
