Thank you very much @whateve for confirmation. Do you have a feeling about her colouring, or shall I wait until post-rehab?
Thanks again for taking the time to verify her got me.
Stay safe

I'm terrible at guessing colors. Possibly putty. I would wait until the rehab is done. I suspect it will darken a lot.

 

[lazysundays]

I'm sorry, it's fake.

I guess I’m not paying! Thanks @whateve

 

[Ponchovoor]

It's authentic but NOT a Penny pocket! It's a pocket purse.

Thanks so much for your help!

I searched the forum and it said this sellers has some fake and some authentic bags. Can you verify which one this is? Thanks so much!

I have searched the forum and can’t find what “awaiting moderator approval” means. I apologize if I unknowingly posted something that shouldn’t have. Can someone help me understand why the post says this? Thanks so much!

Comment: I’m not sure if the strap is original since the rivets look like nickel (or might be just very tarnished). Is this olive or loden? Thank you!

I'm sorry, it's fake.

I guess I’m not paying! Thanks @whateve

It's interesting.....did you tell crackelure that the bag is fake and that's why you weren't paying for it? Because she relisted the fake! (And it's not crackelure's first rodeo with a fake.)

The bag is fine but be VERY careful with "mixers." They can be dangerous since buyers have a sense of trust when there are genuine items, assuming that everything is authentic.

I don't know why you're seeing that. There was nothing wrong with your requests.

Were you a tPF member before and just registered under a new ID? The forum software can usually catch something like that. If that's what happened, more than one registered ID isn't allowed.

That's the only possible problem I can think of.

If that's the case, you'll probably have to contact the Moderator or a forum manager to reactivate your old ID. Otherwise it might block you.

I didn’t tell her it’s fake but asked to cancel my order. She cancelled and relisted. I can report it now.

Hi authenticators, I just bought this purse and I'm assuming it's authentic. Am I right?

Not necessary. Both the one you won and the relisted item are gone! (As in removed by ebay.)

It looks good.

Thank you!

Luna, the one you just received was apparently either accidently or deliberately mis-labeled with the wrong creed and is actually the same style 8190 that Katev has.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a plant screw-up. I owned (FIAT) AND sold (FIAT, Alfa, Lancia and Ferrari) Italian cars for 20 years, and the similar mistakes we would find in things like wiring were, according to the mechanics, likely tied to the days they were built and what was happening on those dates. Major holidays and ANYTHING involving any Italian team's appearance in any World Cup playoffs, semi-finals or finals would be very likely to result in assembly mistakes in cars made during those periods, probably tied to escessive celebrating (or sorrow-drowning) and a huge increase in absenteeism.

I'm going to look closer at the hardware to see if there's any evidence it's been changed but I'm pretty sure it originated at the plant. I don't know what your recourse is, but it's a fair price for that style 8190 bag if you like it. Just DON'T think about reselling it.

Here's the 8190 Wayback page:

ETA - I don't know exactly how those metal creeds were attached but in the photos at least it doesn't seem to have been fiddled with. An excess of Barolo is the likely villian here.

Did you get the bag yet? - NEVER MIND, I see you're just getting tracking info.

Hi Hyacinth & Beenburned
Just received the bag today. It indeed has a wrong creed, looks like plant screw up, the hardware has no sign of being switched( who will took the creed off an alligator bag, and switched it with a lizard one). It is still a beautiful bag in great condition, and I do like it a lot.
Thank you both very much.

Beautiful!

It IS a gorgeous bag and a great find. Enjoy it! Maybe buy a bottle of a nice Italian wine for Valentine's Day.
