Hmm... is this supposed to have a YKK zipper? I've never seen this on a Bbag before.

Hi guys, I can't help mentioning the fact that the rivets, Lampo zipper and bales look actually rather good on this fake city bag.

I am concerned - these fakes are getting better and better... ?

Ok, just so you're not worried about the fakers getting too much better (and Lampo is just a brand, you can get the zipper pulls anywhere, like YKK zippers):
-The metal tag is a complete mess
-The studs are too squat
-The bales are indeed rounded, but not enough. They are getting better though- so we can't rely on rounded/square bales alone anymore, I agree!
-The rivets (from what the seller actually shows) are notched too far in

So they've got a long way to go, thankfully- but you are right to be concerned

Yes I think the YKK plastic zippers are normal on the earliest season bbags.

This flat pebbled First looks divine, but I'm not an expert in the flat brass bags.... need more opinions from the experts.
