Hi, could someone please help. Im just worried about the tarnished gold hardware. Does it indicate that its not authentic bc everything else look good. What would you say, is the bag authentic?

It looks good to me, the only thing I'm a bit puzzled about is the tag back, which indicates S/S 2011 at the earliest. From what I've read the GCH was phased out the year before and the true brogues started in S/S 2011, with smaller HW and the contrasting colour behind the holes. But the dates are so close that I'd say you're good.

Thanks, Much!
Now I'm stumped about the color. I was thinking it might be 09 Charbon, but have no idea what should be on the tag back.
At that price I was thinking it would make a good "uncovering the brogues" project.
But the leather on the studs looks too good still.
What to do? What to do?

The studs do look pretty good.

Honestly, I uncovered the studs because I personally don't like the look of covered giant studs. I would uncover them even if they were in great shape.

If you like the covered studs, keep them. You can always uncover them later. You can't go wrong with this bag. It's all around in great shape and beautiful color. And what a bargain!!

Lol, I'm not too fond of the covered hw combined with the brogues pattern either. I haven’t purchased the bag (yet?), still mulling it over. I am very tempted, though.

Is this authentic? I’m researching for a long time but a bit confused now. It should be 2005 S/S

Big thanks!
Could you say what gives it off? Is it the hardware?

Authenticators can't give details, but look up what the inner tag of an authentic bag looks like, and then compare to yours; that's the most obvious of the issues imo.

What I see looks good but you're missing pics. Tag front, bale, and back of the zipper head.
