Hi Ladies,
Please, authenticate the following bag for me:
Item name: Mulberry Chocolate Effie Bag
Item no.: 130412219712
Seller ID: wrappedforyou
Link:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130412219712&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123
I have just received the bag and although I know the seller is a fellow forum member and had it authenticated on her before I just wanted to check once more if it's really authentic because she only bought it about a months ago from ebay herself. It was authenticated on here, you can find the posts 5963 and 6151 in the old Authenticate thread.
The old link was
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160441988548
The seller used the same pictures as the old one, however she provided me with new pics by email which I can upload too if needed.
I like the bag very much but there are just a couple of things that I'm not sure about. It would be great if you could put my mind to rest.
This specific Effie doesn't have a number underneath the Mulberry tag which some of the other Effies on Ebay have... Why is that? It still has that red sticker below the tag which Mulberry4ever asked about too. The label inside reads 'Made in Turkey' and has the initials LW. Also, the raw leather underneath the flap is very rough and 'stringy' IYKWIM - does that happen with this kind of bag?
The bag is a bit smaller than what I expected, but then I had never seen an Effie in real life (just loved the pics of it on the forum...
). On the surface it seems all fine to me, but of course I'm no expert. So please help!
Many thanks in advance.
