those aren't rivets - a rivet is a piece of metal that is on the back of the handle - it's at the bottom of the handle and almost acts as a snap to close up the handle to the bag. the pic you posted is of the whipstitching of the rope on the handle. have the seller take a pic of the BOTTOM of the handle, of the little metal part. it's round and should have notches in it

i am pretty sure REREsaurus hit replied to the wrong link because the two OP both posted 3 auctions and almost one post right after the other. i am sure REREsaurus's replies where meant for the auctions below.

good luck on your auction. your bag is so pretty!

these are looking good. ask for the hardwares (rivets, bales, buckles) and the serial numbers and then you will be set.

the white first is a very bad fake.

this is what REREsaurus was referring to when she said "1. SO FAKE." but when she replied to it she quoted a different link. the one i posted above is the right one she is referring to.

Yes, please be careful. It would actually be more helpful if only "100% positive a bag is authentic or fake" responses to posts were made. I feel the "not sure" and "ask for more pics" post could cast a negative feeling on an authentic listing that otherwise might not be there if these posts were left out. I know it is everyones intention to only help and to be cautious. So my only intention here is to do the same. BUT I have seen now recently seen two authentic bags be called fake when they are absolutely authentic and that worries me.

I was referring to the FAKE WHITE FIRST in this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=019

Is that okay with everyone?
