Looks like it. I enlarged it thinking it was the damask fabric...then I looked at the tags.

Still can't tell if the white stripes are painted on there or are stitched to the black; I'm almost positive I see seams, which is a lot of work for a fake...

Definitely looks sewn, not just painted.

What's with all of the badly worded scams that start out with "I really love this bag it's what I always wanted please text my husband/mother/random person that's not me at 1-234-5678 and I'll buy it..."
(Though I do like the karma of the scammer getting scammed!)

I’m surprised that Posh doesn’t delete all those phone numbers. Try that on eBay, and they block the note and send a threat to the poster.

I’m curious what gave this one away. The silver tag is better than most but I see it fills too much of purple leather behind it. Pics of the notches aren’t super clear. Still learning and would love an expert eye to break this one down!

We don't really discuss all the little nuances of what makes a fake a fake, but I will give you one hint: try to find this color in the color chart for the J tag (S/S 2013) season.
But this is one of the better fakes I've seen, in some respects.
