Sounds good.
Here we are sweetie it came today. I took it in to my local Fenicks that has a handbag clinic booth and the lady had 2 city bags there and compared them and authenticated my bag I am so over the moon. The bag has been re coloured by handbag spa and I am awaiting a quote to have some cracking to the top piping sorted and the handles re laced. I am in love.

Details all look fine. How does the leather feel? A lot of people say the feel of the leather changes when the bags are redyed.
The leather feels like butter, the lady I spoke to today actually said the same thing some times it stiffens the leather but in this case it hasn’t at all. I have been stung with a replica before and the difference in the weight of the bag and the feel of the leather itself is just amazing. The real one is also a lot slouchier. Honestly I am over the moon. Thank you again so much for all your help. Xx

Most welcome, enjoy your bag!
 
Dear authenticators,
Found this Pompom and could not resist…
A little bit stained and the corners have seen better days but the price was very good and I wanted an everyday summer bag I wouldn’t baby…
Are there any red flags concerning authenticity in your opinion? TIA!00C6E150-AD5E-45C4-87C6-4B51E4D0EB61.jpeg

I'm not comfortable commenting on this without better pics, sorry. I need to see close ups of the rivets, bale and back of the zipper head.

Thank you so much; I thought so based on the limited photos in the posting.

Also not sure if I want to mess with Vieux Rose after I found an old much-heated thread discussing the color, haha!!
