I just bought this bag from eBay. It was listed as new, though the seller informed me she had used it a couple of times.
It looks authentic to me. The leather is so soft and the studs look identical compared to pictures of the real thing. I just can't tell if it's fake or not just by looking at the leather, because every bag looks so unique. Some bags look extremely texturized, and other bags don't...

What bothers me is that I just saw a picture of the "made in China"-tag in this forum. On the real bag it is so small, and almost invisible.
The tag is small on my bag too, but it's noticably bigger. Is it possible that the tag looks different from bag to bag..?

I also got the reciept from Net-a-porter, but it just seems so easy to make a fake reciept.

Here are some pictures:

Hope someone can help me figure out if I should send it back or not.
Thank you in advance!

Eliseb, I checked & dig in my bag for the tag, mine is also very small compared to yours, only 1mm x 2mm w/ white letters. I bought mine from Mick Margo, so I'm not sure if they used 2 different sizes or it's just a mistake flaw from the factory. Your leather though it looks nice but the texture is also slightly different from mine, maybe each bag is different. Maybe it's real & you're just bothered because you bought it on Ebay, it's hard to really make sure that what you bought is real either. If you had bought it directly from the reputable store, then you will feel more confident that what you got is real even w/ the bigger tag. I think if it really bugs you, then just return it & pre-order 1 yourself directly from the store.

elsieb,
the font on my tag is not like the one in your pix.it is narrower and also balck tag with darker white letters.
this bag is too expemsive to be unsure.
and the recepit could be a real receipt, hust for a different...bait and switch.
i got mine from the first batch, maybe second batch is different tag?

I noticed the difference in the font too. I have 2 AW bags and they both have the thinner, slightly slant font. Also, the tag looks silkier than my tags and the crease is different. On my bags, the crease is very crisp (made before it was sewn in),and the lettering is higher above the crease- not right on the crease.

In regards to the origination tag - I think that doesn't matter as long as it says Made in China. The fakes I've heard about all say Made in Italy. The factories change those things all the time, just like they change the lining colors, etc... My Chocolate Choe Paddington has cream colored canvas lining, and my best friend's bag (the same Chocolate Paddy), purchased at the same store, has dark brown lining. Little details change. Quality should be the same. Those tags were probably made one way for a while and then they changed. Sheesh! I agree with imlvholic, it probably is authentic, but if you distrust Ebay, then perhaps you should just return it, and order one from Barneys.
