Hi Jen, so far it looks good, # is OK. You really need (for that money) assurance that the bag is clean (it has canvas exposed all around the bag, and when it gets dirty, the bag looks horrible, dust bag pics, bottom of the bag and interior pics)

Maybe June can chip in with HW pics request?
good luck, Vesna

Thanks vesna! Should I be worried that the watermarks on the pics have a different username than the sellers? It would be by far my largest purchase on ebay... it scares me quite frankly.
Edit: I did a search for the username used in the watermark and came up with this link, looks like it's the same seller (http://deluxemall.com/dior-fendi-loe...-2500-neg.html) This makes me nervous...

hi guys!

Hi jen, could be , but I don't know, I would not go for it. Too many unknowns, low feedback number, if that is the bag, looks good, but are you getting that. You need to ask the seller if that it her on the other auction.

I have seen this bag recently somewhere on sale, I will look up the links I have browsed and let you know

Cheers, Vesna

I see now, she is selling the same bag on Bonanzle under the name from the photos:

http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/znat/...i_colour_Large

and there she has $1050 or best offer.

The bag seems authentic, and she is stying to sell it on few places.

Hi can anyone let me know if a vintage (80's) YSL is made of genuine leather?

Which bag do you have in mind? They have always used variety of materials - satin, leather. I do not know of fake leather YSL.

Hi thank you so much for the quick response. It's actually a wallet my late dad used to carry. I'm pretty sure it's from the 80's. I'm not sure if it's a real one. But it does has a stamped on the wallet that says "GENUINE LEATHER", and it seems like it's made from boar leather. I will be posting the photos soon. Thank You very much. I appreciate it a lot. :)
