A link to the listing in question is required.

I THINK you're OK but the pics aren't very helpful to be honest. I know it's hard to take photos of that colour but I can barely make out the tag numbers and the logo isn't readable.

ok, thank you for looking at the photos. I do have one additional question. I noticed that on some sites that are selling these XS reporter bags there is an additional interior zip with a pocket beside just the 4 card slot holder. Do you know if the bag is supposed to have an interior zip pocket with another card holder? I haven't been able to find any interior pictures from an authorized retailer because the bag is discontinued. e

I did a quick search and found two on reputable sites that don't mention an interior zip pocket, one that does. I don't know enough about the reporter to say more than that. @ksuromax do you have any more info on the reporter?

i don't own any myself, but one i checked in the boutique did have the pocket, but i can't remember what size it was
@peacebabe had one, maybe she can chime in?

Hello, I’d be grateful for an opinion on this bag please If it’s not authentic I can return it. The zip doesn’t have any markings on it, but I can take a pic if needed. It’s very rainy here, so the photos taken in natural light (first two) are dark - apologies. Thanks.

Name: Flat Brass Hobo?
