Hello Authenticators,
I found this bag at my local consignment store. I remember it from a few years ago. It’s cute!

It’s approximately 9.5” (length) x 4.5” (width) x 10” (height).

It came with a shoulder/crossbody strap. No hang tag but that’s an easy fix. Some markings which I hope I can bleach out.
Thank you!

It looks good. Mini Preston. Great find! Let me know how well the bleaching works. Are you going to try zit cream? I never had luck getting stains out of coated canvas but that was before I discovered zit cream.

Thanks, whateve! A Mini Preston—that’s awesome! I will try zit cream and hope for the best! Do you have a brand that you’ve found to be effective and can recommend? Plan B would be to tie a cute scarf to hide the marks.

There's no way I'd let the seller get away with ripping you off. Let her know you're aware of the fact that she sells fakes and try to get a refund. Report her to Facebook although I'm not sure whether FB will do anything. And certainly, don't buy more from her.

One of the problems with buying from Facebook or a similar venue is that there's no oversight and no one to enforce rules and encourage honesty. (That's probably why the seller sells on Facebook rather than ebay. On ebay, if there were multiple accusations and returns of fakes, the seller would be suspended. That doesn't happen on FB.)

Not a specific brand, just get the highest strength you can find, without any extra ingredients. The ingredient you want is benzoyl peroxide. Put it on just the stains and set in the sun if you can. I usually let it sit for a day or two before cleaning it off. If it is still stained, I try again. If it doesn't work, you might be able to touch it up with paint.

Both look fine. The second one was made for Nordstrom.

I'm curious. I thought the "N" on this one meant is was sold at/purchased from Nordstrom. How do you know it was made for the retailer?
