This comment has nothing to do with authenticity.....thank you, whateve and twotimebags!! guess i'll pass. love, love, the shape though. and that wonderful thick leather...sigh.
In my opinion it's a really unusual and unique style.
It looks like the pocket was originally sewn right underneath the natural leather seam and was quickly and incorrectly repaired, but it should be easy to fix it the right way if someone does leather repair or sewing. I really like that one!
