Authentic IMO. They're calling it khaki which was a holiday colour in F/W 06, not sure it it came in anything other than ponyhair. Anyone else know? To me it looks quite a bit like my F/W 05 olive. Gorgeous colour.

Sorry, I didn't see that @cbarrus had already commented. I was able to see enough of a rivet and a bale to say authentic in my opinion.

Hello Cbarrus and lovely authenticators,
I received more photos from the seller. Not exactly what you asked for but it's taken a few days to even get those and unless I get the bag shipped over to me I won't be able to share any more photos. So really hoping these help you give me an opinion

Thank you in advance, I'm so glad this forum exists!!!!

I still think this one is most likely authentic. Although I'm not familiar with the style, the tag looks okay to me. I do not think this is one that would be faked. Maybe others will take a look as well and see if they agree.

Hi,

Can you please authenticate this bag? I'm confused by the color and the date. They don't match. The color is Vert Thyme which according to your color/date chart is from 2008 pre-season. The metal tag has an A at the end which means it should be from S/S 2005.

Thanks!

I agree that this bag is authentic. For some reason, they have been having problems with color lately. I actually corrected them about the Chocolate City when they originally had it listed as Charbon, lol. So I am also sure that the chocolate city is authentic. There is no mistaking that beautiful color.

Hi guys,
Could you please authentify this Hook bag bought in a consignment shop? I also wonder which year it would be, also the Cokie looks like a "rouge theatre" to me but not sure about it.
Many thanks!
