I recently I bought a petrol blue kirsten off of ebay. everything about it seemed authentic to me but today I noticed that the interior zippers were not "riri." I have the multi pocket and the blake of the soft calf line and they (obviously) have the riri zippers. Does the kirsten not have them because it's of a different line or did I get duped?

Emmy, I can wear these Bowlers on my shoulder. The bags are quite fat (heheee) so my arms would stick out (unless the bags become less structured over time) though. They are meant to be hand carried.

Lobster is a traffic stopping color.

That's another Bolwer this season (Emily from Mixed Quilted Leather line), it has thinner handles (can be worn on the shoulder) and less boxy shape; the leather is very soft. My good friend's in love with it when we were in the MJ store over the weekend. Emily comes in Black, Plum, Truffle, Oatmeal (available in MJ store already). Plum is too off from Red right? =)

Not all the styles have riri zippers, having the correct zipper type alone does not make a bag authentic either.

Take a look at these authentic Kirsten (from Fall 2004; Tumbled Calf):
