Thank you :)

so far looks good to me, but play it safe ask for more photos of the back of the inside tag & rivet.
and the leather may have been dyed? i think better ask what repairs have been done to the bag.

i have checked a few of my bags, i found some of them have a dot and some don't, so i guess it's just random & maybe depends on style?
e.g. TWIGGY does not, PT, WORK, BOX do have. my bags are from 05-08.

would you be able to return the bag?

Thanks for the heads up MeganKa, I bought it but haven't paid for it, no way was I handing over good money for a fake!

I will post another one up to check out, thank you so much for helping me, would you happen to know a good authentic online second hand source? Thanks loads for the advice!

Cheers!

cannot judge from these photos, better ask photos of the inside tag & the inside of zipper pull to be safe...

Thanks for your reply. I have checked with a couple of members whose black cities are from the same year (fw 09) and theirs have a dot between the numbers which worries me since mine doesn't. Would love to hear others' replies, especially City owners.

EDIT: Here's a pic of the back of my leather tag for reference -

Hi can you authenticate this pom pon. It looks good but the pom pon is not like other bags with zips and stuff and the picks she sent are a little rushed and blurry. The item is ending soon too. Also no tags or dust bag.

Thanks for the help
