My mom gave me this bag because she knew that i was hankering for the Florentines/West-East bags. It's old, so I don't know the name. Is this a fake or real?

Yep, authentic. The piping might look weird because of the poor photo resolution.

Yesterday's thriftshop find:

Item Name: AWL bucket bag

I think this one is real - and so retro! - but I would really appreciate confirmation as well as any info on its actual name/age/etc.

Saw this posted on my local on-line yard sales and wondered if
it's authentic. I've not seen an interior tag like that and
am thinking it's fake
