Another thing - usually when the leather on fakes is stretched to make it more pliable, it develops an "elephant-skin" texture rather than a pebbled look. By that we mean long, almost parallel lines that can resemble stretch marks from pregnancy or weight changes. See the examples of overstretched and overprocessed leather below that we've found on fakes.

Thanks for the examples of pebbling versus elephant skin.

You'll have to be patient. We aren't all experts on all styles. If your request is skipped by me it is because you are asking about newer styles. I specialize in vintage and older items. Keep in mind we volunteer our time and are under no obligation to respond to any request.

I apologize and I didn't mean to be rude or persistent. I didn't realize that each authenticator has his/her own specialty. I did a response from BeenBurned. Thank you for the explanation and I'll be sure to be patient next time. :smile:
