Ok I contacted the seller and explained the cherries overlapping some of the LVs and told her the bag appears to be fake (although the workmanship is idenitcal to my regular speedy which I bought directly from LV) she is having me send it back to her for a refund. Her auction offers money back guarantee and she had no problem with this after hearing the shock of the news. She even had the LV SA name and location who authenticated it for her when she puchased it. Very nice and reputable seller and $2000 PayPal buyer protection so I am not worried. I want to thank all of you for taking the time in letting me know. Although I have been buying LV for over 25 years (yes I am old!), this was my first Cersies bag (I do have the cles which I bought from LV), so I was not familiar with ONLY the stems of the cherries overlapping the LVs. You guys are WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!
