Hi Von! Here are a few more photos; thanks for helping out with this! Hopefully these are better. The weird thing I just noticed is a few strands of some type of “clear filament” coming out from underneath the weave. You can barely see it in the next to last photo.

Sorry, I'm trying to figure out what this is. It's most certainly not a Ciambrino Bag, it's also not a small Iron Bag. I asked for a photo of the bag in its entirety because I want to see the shape of the bag. Those are buckles that attach the straps? This looks like some kind of accessory or cosmetics pouch with a strap. I don't know what it is.
Maybe one of the other ladies can help? @indiaink @septembersiren @Miss_FancyBags

The bag is about 13” x 6” x 5.5” in dimensions; seller is the one who described at as a CambrIno bag...it’s got a weird almost triangle shape to it and buckles on each end of the strap...no grommets or anything on the rest of the strap. Here’s some close-ups of the buckle/strap. Thanks again!

Someone else will have to help you, sorry :flowers:
I thought it looked like something that came out around Spring 2013 for a second, but I don't know...
I'm at a complete loss as to what I'm looking at in the pictures.

This is not authentic.Too many things don’t add up. It’s a ‘wannabe-but-not-quite’.

Hi Von :smile: i bought this clutch from TheRealReal . Do you see any red flags? thanks a lot
Yeah. Everything.
1. BV doesn't do snakeskin stretch knots - or any full Python knots really except special/seasonal editions.
2. The engraving on the clasp is atrocious
3. The RealReal probably has more fake knots than real ones on their site - just like the Cabats.
4. The interior finishing is just not up to BV's quality standards.

Von, SInce it appears that the bag I purshased from The RealReal is not authenticate would you be able to provide me with an authentication saying such in order to for me to prove to TheRealReal they sold me a fake bag. If your unable to provide me with authentiication would you be able to recommend someone who can.Thanks a lot!
