That isn't too clear, sorry. Do you still have the link?

Let's ask Addy, see what she thinks. This is not an era that I am really familiar with. Everything looks ok, except the bottom piece, but that might be a switch or something.

I'll just give Addy a call - she is in a big meeting, but I can send a message to her assistant to have her check in. Hang in there.

Way to get in on the sleuthing!

I think you see what I mean, that the inside piece of super nova trimmed with brown, does not match the sideways super nova on the outside, trimmed with black patent.

I never really explored this era - with this type of hardware.

So PLEASE CHIME IN.

I bought this bag on eBay a little while ago (Dec. 2008) and am now cleaning out my closet for the summer. I am REALLY having doubts about this after further inspection and research. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!!

Everything I received from the seller...

This is the original link. She sold this one, but has one more that she's willing to sell me at a Buy It Now Price. She used the stock photo in the auction. I only have the previous picture I showed you, and the original two that she sent me, which you said weren't enough pics to determine. Do you think it's worth taking a risk on and taking pics of when it gets here?

Send some photos of the zipper pull, the Made in tag, the stamps.

It is really pretty.

I would never buy an item with stock photos only. I am very hesitant about any (dealer-like) BINs too.

There are lots of BIN Burberrys deal and few show good photos.

Hang in there!

When I mentioned that there would be sales, I kindof meant that the sales in stores will trickle down to ebay - everything does - know what I mean?

Thanks for the insight. This is true that it trickles down to ebay. I'm still waiting on the wallet you said was real.. If it's truly only been used once it will be a good steal. I'm waiting for the auction to get closer to ending. :)

It will be interesting to hear what others think of this bag also.

That plastic bag and the dust bag do not go with that Chester.

The blue tag would be appropriate, so if anyone can read tags, Addy, Old, please comment.

Much more importantly, the other things do not "go together."

That lining/zipper/feet/label/date are all mixed up for me.

It's a no for me, sorry.

Wait for Addy for a seconder.

It looks like the Burberry tag has a sticker on it with that information. All the Burberry tags I've seen are printed on the actual tag, aren't they? You deserve so much credit T, for being able to remember all the little tricks/clues Burberry has. :)

Thanks!!

I have no idea as to what I should do with this bag?!?! Any suggestions?

The funny thing is... I picked it up from the lady who sold it to me IN person.

Hey there, Terite -
