*sigh.* I still need to see the white label (with production numbers) that is probably inside the zippered pocket. Tell her she might need to reach in and turn the pocket inside out.

(I don't see red flags and it's probably okay.) None of the other sellers of the same bag (style 28461) show enough pictures so I wasn't able to confirm that the label is there but based on the size of the bag, I believe it should be there.

If you decide to buy it, turn the pockets and lining inside out and post pictures.


So.... there's no little tag inside the pocket, so she says.. I'm torn, i'm so unfamiliar with bags without creeds, does the absence of a small white tag in pocket mean it's not authentic? Is that Made In tag a good sign?. I appreciate all your help, after this I will make a decision, you've been very helpful, thank you
 
Good morning everyone! I feel good about these two finds but want to double check.

What I see seems okay so if you get assurance from the seller that you can get it verified and return if there's a problem, I'd feel comfortable telling you to buy.

Why do you think it's fake?

I don't see anything wrong.
Hi— I thought the seams around the inside pocket seemed suspect because they are the raw edges of the leather. I checked other photos online and in my database and everything seemed more finished. But this is a NYC bag so I’m hoping that’s just an older element.

I usually look at that too, but I think it is fine in older bags.
