The strap is missing so I can't show you the bales. All the zippers look the same but I took pics of all of them. Sorry about the lighting. It's not the best in my house. Let me know if you need any other photo. Thank you muchstuff.

No photo of the bale but I'm guessing it may have squared off shoulders? It's funny because the font on the tag back looks correct but nothing else does. The bag's not authentic in my opinion. ETA: Sorry, I just read that you don't have the strap.
 
No worries, it's just so weird that the font on the tag back is correct for a 2011 bag. But the colour code is for a 2010 and none of the other details (tag front, rivet, zipper heads) are right. I've never seen that before, very curious.

I wish I had the strap but it was missing when she bought it. Wish I had got it authenticated before I had posted it in that thread. We both got duped. At least the lesson didn't cost a lot of money just a lot of embarrassment...

It happens. I've seen worse fakes. I remember trying to tell a gal who owned a consignment store that one of the Bals she had was fake and she simply wouldn't listen, even when I pointed out the reasons why.
