The set is authentic. (I wasn't ignoring you because of the format. I was out/away from my computer and just got in a little while ago.)
 
I'm sorry. I'm new to all this and didn't realize. My mom did get it from a goodwill for me it but after reading your response i will not donate anything else if it's not authentic. I assume just trashing it is best option?
I wish you'd asked about donating before doing so. I don't recommend it.

By donating, it keeps the bag in circulation possibly being repurchased by another buyer who will eventually resell on ebay, a garage sale or other online site.

You didn't say where you bought it but the fact is that it's illegal to sell a fake anywhere, and that includes thrifts (if that's where you bought). That's why I recommended returning for refund (if a store) or opening a dispute (if purchased online).

No need to apologize; many people truly think it's doing to the right thing and unless they read these forums, they don't consider how it just continues the cycle.

There have been discussion on various boards about what to do with fakes and various suggestions on avoiding flooding landfills with them when possible.

Some suggestions have been:

  • mark item as "fake - not for resale" and give it to a child to play dress up.
  • depending on size and style, use in home to carry cleaning supplies or tools from room to room.
  • use as conversation piece planter in yard, making a drainage hole on the bottom and filling with dirt and flowers
  • use in shed for tools
  • etc......use your imagination!

Hello, This is my first time using PurseForum! I recently bought this bag and couldn't find out what style it is to compare to an authentic to authenticate. Please help! Thank you for your time!

Welcome to TPF!

The bag is authentic. You don't show the measurements but if it's approximately 9.5" x 10" x 4.5" at the base, it's U108 AWL small sling from approximately 1999.
