Are you able to authenticate from the pictures? Sorry I'm unable to communicate with seller for more pictures. I understand if not, thanks

Pics aren't great, but I will say it definitely looks as if it's been recolored at some point
 
When you zoom into the mirror you can see that wasn't colored, while the rest of the bag has that shiny painted look.

And in this pic when you zoom in you can see right above the zipper tape areas where the dye wasn't applied evenly.

I'm not convinced the pics are good enough to prove it conclusively but I trust your judgement.

I'm with you on the dying job.
The handles look really off to me. No matter how warm the lighting may have been, they look just flat. Even the lacing looks wrong and plasticky.
Two pics of my Teals with varying degrees of warmth when I took the pics.

Also, the corners of the bag in question look white-ish, like the paint is coming off. I personally would keep my hands off this bag. But that's just mho.
