It's fine.
 

If the serial number M7F-9140 listed for the third one is right, it's FAKE. The year code is too early for the style and the F plant code is also wrong. A bag with a 1997 year code also shouldn't have had silver hardware, and style 9140 wasn't introduced until Fall 1999. Since there's no creed photo it should NOT be reported.

There's no creed photo shown for the Willis either. And the colors ARE described as brown with brass hardware.

The first one is the only one that can be confirmed authentic.

At your convenience please authenticate , convertible clutch? thanks in advance : )
This bag is special, in my possession, found, as I like to say, left for dead under a pile of Vera Bradley's at a flea market.
The image of the back will not upload, it says the file is too big; but there is no back slip pocket.
11" x 6 1/2-7-ish" x 2"

Hi! I found this bag at a second hand store and was excited that this could be my first rehab project. However, I am having second thoughts of its authenticity. Could someone please take a look? Thanks!

Thanks whateve, that was quick! I thought everyone (but me lol) might be cooking and cleaning for tomorrow!
Great, now I need to find my before pics and post on the Rehab to show off my girl. She was my first true rehab.
