Hello ladies.
This bag has me perplexed.. It appears genuine in many aspects but the 2004 age with the near perfect condition is a bit off putting. I know it happens but rarely.
My biggest issue is in photo 7 where the strap meets the bale- it looks like a fake.:-s (I posted the image below)

I would love to purchase this if it's genuine..
Could you take a peek at it please? I believe most of the needed photos are included in the listing- minus the zipper head.

Thanks a bunch! :flowers:

This bag is from 2008, not 2004. There are some pictures missing, first of all : back of the tag, proper angle of the bale and back of the zipper's head.

Thank you so much Sssy.
I'll ask the seller for those..

You are lightening fast today! :urock:

ETA: I'm a little more concerned now since the seller doesn't even have the correct year listed.
 
Hello - could you please help with this authentication.
Item Name: I believe it is a Classic First bag
Link : <none, from a resale shop>

Purchased from a resale shop, but can still return. The zipper looks a bit different than the others I've seen on this forum, so has me wondering.

Thank you for any help.
