Thanks and be well!
 
God knows I don't need another black City, (except maybe a f/w 07), so this is just for my and others' info. The leather on this is so yummy, but the rivets are shady and I see no metal plate in a year there should have been a metal plate. Can't tell if there are holes on the leather tag where a metal plate would have been stitched. Super cheap tho. Thoughts or gut reactions from the experts?

This was her response when I asked.
Leather looks amazing tho, that def doesn’t look fake!

Welcome to TPF! Authentic in my opinion, and yes, the tassels have been cut. Don’t worry about the knot in the handles, some of the info you read pertains to older bags.
Regarding the tag, 115748 indicates a classic City, the other number on the front we don’t know. On the back 1000 is the colour black. Don’t know what 1669 indicates.
Thank you for your time! I value your opinion. :)
One last thing if I may, is that an agneau or chevre leather? I am really a rookie in this :)
