Hi authenticators!

I just got this Mini Classique bag from Poshmark and was wondering if you would be able to authenticate it? I think I read these were only made in 04 and 05 - is it possible to tell which year this is from?

Thank you so much in advance!

Authentic in my opinion. Bal started notching rivets in S/S 2005 (inconsistently) and consistently in F/W 2005 so your bag could be either 2004 or S/S 2005. If I had to guess by the leather I'd say probably 2004 but I can't say for certain.

We don't discuss details so as not to aid the counterfeiters but pretty much everything that we look at re: authentication is "off".

mine is packed away (too massive to keep it at hands) and i can't check it promptly, but! the tag looks totally off to me, at least on that shot that is provided by the Seller.
Bale not clear, too.

Many thanks for your message Ksuromax!!
I asked for more pictures.. But with what you are saying, I might just not go ahead with this purchase. Thank you again

Hello!

It's been a while - hoping you can help me out with this!

Flat brass first (suspected), in a camel/caramel-y color.
Not sure of year.




Last shot for comparison - it does seem to be identical in size to my carabou one (though much lighter). Tassels are also single-faced, back of tag is suede/no add'l imprinting. I definitely don't know much about early bags, but the only off to me is that the width of the leather on the handle where rivet is seems a bit narrow by comparison.
