Hi! Any help authenticating this Burberry bag would be greatly appreciated! I've already purchased it on Ebay and believed it was a Prorsum Earlsburn bag, but I have questions now that I have it in my possession. To note, the seller said "her daughter purchased it for her while vacationing in Europe" when I asked.
My reasons to doubt authenticity:
1) The authenticity card the seller left in the bag is for a Burberry London leather bag, the outside plaque says Burberry Prorsum, and the inside says "Burberry Established 1856".
And compared to online photos of Earlsburn bags:
2) The zipper on the inside pocket looks different.
3) No photos exist of this bag in all suede, just leather and suede compliments.
4) The handles seem to be missing a small rivet (?, I don't know what to call it).
5) The front cinch/pull (?) looks different.
6) The leather drawstring is not cord, it's stitched.
7) There is no tag /serial number of any sort inside the bag.
And 8) There are no feet on the bottom of the bag.
Though I looked at other site photos, I primarily referenced this bag:

Either way, the bag is beautiful, and I sure hope it's authentic!
Thank you for reading my post!

Yes it is fake - in this case notice the too thin fringe - it should be a tight twist, and the burberry plaid has a three stripe pattern. But you figured it out in time, that is the good news.Got this Burberry scarf today I think it may indeed be fake unfortunately. I was so excited when I bought it got home did a little research and was crushed. Just want to confirm with you all that it is fake and I'll probably try and return it for another scarf not Burberry. Fakes are so good, seriously the check pattern looks to be on point but the tag is funny. Thanks!
Depends on the cost - and depends on what you want to do with it.
A prorsum bag should be beyond belief in quality - this bag has a lining that is piling (should be prorsum lining) and machine stitched leather cords instead of like hand stitched cords, should have a black Prorsum tag and a Made in tag and a serial number . I agree with you that it should have feet. I was expecting the snap to be embossed with Burberry - I find the edges look a bit rubbery - although this happens, but not on a prorsum bag
I would return it

Here is a picture of the snap. There is no tag anywhere in the bag.
I took it to a Burberry store and the girl was not helpful, she only said it appears authentic but didn't look at it.

I would think it would/should have a lining at one time - how much did you pay - send me a private PM
Just did that. Thank you for taking the time to help! I appreciate it.
