I think you're fine. It would be nice to have a picture of the interior nameplate as well, but all of the pictures shown look fine.

I'm not as familiar with this style, but the leather, nameplates, and other Botkier details look correct.

Apricote · May 15th, 2009, 06:45 AM

Can someone check this one?

The pictures look okay, but I can't tell - they may all be stock pictures. If you are considering bidding, you should ask if those are pictures of the actual bag they're selling.

starkfan · May 15th, 2009, 09:05 AM

^ Yes, sarahsar is right, those are all stock pictures. They look like they might be from Revolve, in fact. (At least, the mannequin one looks like a Revolve stock photo.)

Apricote · May 15th, 2009, 09:22 AM

Thank you so much sarahsar and starkfan!

I think it's better to skip this one. Too good to be true and when I'm buying bag I want see real pictures. (Sorry about my terrible english.)
