So I took a chance on this large multi-pocket on ebay the other day since it looked good and the seller was willing to do a BIN. Of course, I've been worried about the authenticity ever since! It arrived today... squished in a USPS flat rate box (urgh!). Authenticity-wise, it looks pretty good: the leather has the right texture, all the zippers are Riri, handle is rolled, end pockets are a bit triangular. But can I get a confirmation on this? I was never much of a mutipocket girl.

Also, what color/season is it? One of my nagging worries about its authenticity is that the topstitching/lining are both boring tan, which seems way too sedate for a real MJ.

Thanks!

EDIT: I should add that my authenticity concerns weren't exactly laid to rest when I found a pair of fake LV sunglasses inside as a thank-you gift from the seller!

looks kind of hazelnut or espresso... goto the reference library leather variations thread and scan through there...:yes:

Whew! Thanks Dawn and forefinal! Though it looks lighter than the pics in the library, I'm pretty sure it's hazelnut. It does need a good cleaning, but for under $200 with the live.com discount, I don't really mind. Good to know that my MJ sense is still functioning ok!

Hi, and welcome to the forum!! This is the quilted hobo.... do you have any additional pics? I'd like to see underneath the zipperhead(should say lampo or riri) and the serial tag.
