Thank you iluvmybags! I would rather to play safe instead of feeling regret, especially I only have 72 hours to return the bag per the seller's policy.
This is so sad! I love my BV, but I need a shoulder bag when I am wearing my coat. I will go to the post office to return it today.
Thank you and Lexie's help. I REALLy appreciate it!!!
You're welcome and I think you're making the right decision. I still would like to know for sure about this bag - my gut is saying that it's fake, but I'm still curious whether or not that was ever an authentic color, and whether or not the white tape is the only indication that it's not authentic.
On a side note - a lot of places are having sales right now, and I'm pretty sure you can find Gryson on sale. Either that, or you can buy it from one of the many online boutiques that offers coupon/discount codes. You might be able to buy the bag for up to 30% off.
