They used to have a discontinued bag in the epi line called the Verseau that looks like what you are talking about. However, it only came in the Epi.

It's sort of the same but the handles are facing the wrong way...what you saw was probably a fake. =(
The lady bag was exactly like cherry blossom auction but in black epi look alike..
That verseau is gorgeous and very classy looking Mas..
