This passed VC inspection, but what really matters is does it pass tPF standards?

Authenticators, please weigh in.

Riva City in ??? color - comes across super neutral as a beige / taupe gray with purplish undertones.

There is only one top zipper (not dual). I’ve never seen a tag like this before with the gold embossing, but the numbers match up.

This bag looks brand new and smells of leather. Fingers, toes, and all my body parts are crossed on this one. 🤞🤞🤞

If you need additional pics, please let me know.

I was wondering if you guys can please help me verify if this First bag is authentic? It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. Trying to be good 😊 and not shop like I use to. I purchased it on Mercari and it was authenticated by 3rd party thru Mercari. But for some reason I’m not sure about it. I compared to my 2 cities. Attached are the pics.. thank you 🙏
I’ve received the bag today and compared it to my cities and the tags look a bit different. I’m not sure if maybe the First bag maybe was made differently? I never knew it had 2 pockets on the inside either.
