Yes, there are some other things about it that look off to me, too. I have seen fake squirrel spys before; some of them were decently convincing.

I wrote to the Seller asking for pictures of the Hologram & Serial Strip. She very deftly side-stepped my request. All she said was that the Hologram & SS are "intact"! I didn't ask whether they were intact or not, I asked for pictures! :tdown: She also said they have 20 years experience in retail and that the bag is authentic! Well then, I don't see why she can't take pictures of the Hologram & SS.

The likelihood of this bag being a Fake is high, but it does look "convincing" - the velvet, rhinestones, embroidery...etc. are all there! :confused1:You said there are some things that are "off", are you talking about the missing photos of the Hologram & SS? To my untrained eyes they bag looks good, except that it's Blue and not Burgundy, and that the Seller doesn't have pictures of the Hologram & SS. Many thanks for your help! :smile1:

by "off" I mean there are things about the bag that look off -- the texture of the velvet, the leather on on the handles, the way the handles are woven, the way it is sitting all look off to me. There is no way I would bid without first seeing the hologram and leather strip. Like I said, I have seen some pretty good-looking fakes before. They are not always obvious.
