Hyacinth,
Thank you so much for authenticating for me, I do have a question for you. I recently bought another soft satchel in a beautiful orange and when I got it, it was great, but it made me question my burgandy bag only b/c it seems to have a "finish" or "top coat" on it whereas my orange does not. In addition, my orange and some that I see on ebay have a different bottom inside-EVERYTHING else is the same. I am just asking whether the seller put a finish on my burgandy one?

I don't think I have a question about authentcity, I mainly want to understand if the orange and burgandy were made in different years and that is why the slight change in the bag (finish/top coat and inside bottom). Thank you so much for any help you can offer. Another burgandy soft satchel was authenticated here also that has the same "finished" look and bottom, I don't know how to post that link.
