It kinda smells like plastic. Could that be the coating?

Could be. Let's get a second opinion just to put you at ease. @Deco ?

Opinions on this pretty please?
I'm thinking it's too good to be true, has it been recoloured? 🫤 Thankyou

Extra photos, seller is saying recoloured to match original so I've got cold feet. Unless I'm crazy this colour wasn't A tag because it 2004. Unless it was a random anomaly, but the recolour has put me off.

It puts me off too. Is it supposed to be turquoise?

I assumed it was an older faded Ice or Sky Blue that someone painted to look like Seafoam. There are very slight blue tints still left in the threading (particularly with the silver tag). Whomever dyed this was committed.

OP says the seller claims it was re-dyed to match original. So not a match no matter what I guess.

Seeing some cool-toned blue in the spaces between the zipper teeth, so maybe faded Ice Blue posing as Seafoam?

Thanks everyone for weighing in & trying to make sense of it 💕 the recolour has given me cold feet, especially the more I look at it. I don't mind the colour but I'm pretty sure the texture would do my head in 😂 I've got one recoloured bag and I never use it because it feels painted so the leather has lost that beautiful smooshy feeling. If anyone is interested shoot me a message & I'll let you where it is. Thanks again for your help

Seafoam wouldn't be an A tag though.

Wise move to leave it be IMO.

Seafood wouldn't be an A tag though.

Oh I know, I just meant the seller was trying to Seafoam-ify it.
(Lol'ing the autocorrect. Seafood City bag!)
