I'm sorry but this one is beyond me. Maybe ThisVNChick or another authenticator can take a look.
I've looked over your photos and can't seem to come to a conclusion. The bag has some authentic features but then there are details that send off red flags for me. I think this is a bag worth investing $7 in in order to get a response from a professional authenticator such at A4U.
Even though I am not an expert, there are red flags with it, and some features look authentic. Mabey the conterfiters are very good at replicating, but have not taken care of all the features.
I personally would think, if you can see some fake features, than I would assume the bag is fake
Hi average joe,
I just received my authentication report back from ******************. They said the bag is authentic. Would you mind take a look again? I'm not exactly sure what to do.
Thank you so much

The answer from ***************** does not change the fact that your bag is fake. They have made a mistake, and I am 100% certain of it.
As for what to do next, I am not sure, because you don't have written evidence that the bag is fake. Maybe try to send the bag back and request a refund? You are entitled to a return policy if you buy online anyway, since you cannot examine the bag in person until you receive it. Be sure to ship it with tracking and use an insured service. Then file a credit card chargeback if they don't refund your money.
While generally that is one thing we consider when we authenticate, we are authenticating with our experience with the brand, and sometimes we encounter pieces produced from different times that we may not have seen before. We don't want to dismiss those bags as fakes simply because some details are off, because they may actually be authentic. Our decisions here may affect the sellers of those pieces and we want to be as accurate as possible in order to be fair to them. When we aren't sure, we simply acknowledge it.
****************** is not always reliable. They have no brand specialist. And I will have to agree with AJ, this bag is fake. For some reason, it seems like this particular bag (same flaws, same date code) is getting purchased over and over again. You might want to send your request to Authenticate4u or Fakespotters for a second look.
Could someone look at this for me? I purchased the sunglasses from a girl who worked at a major department store. She told me these were floor models and didn't come with the box or case, just the cloth pouch. TIA!
