thank you missfiggy!
Does this photo of underside of the zipper help at all? Or do the really good fakes also copy the zipper brands ?
thanks so much again!

The really good fakes actually use the same zippers. Please accept that I have stated my opinion and no further photos are necessary.

Both sides of all cards please. Underside of the interior zips so we can see the brand. Closeups of all logos including those stamped into the hardware. Unfortunately instagram sellers have a very poor record of authenticity here so we need to be able to check minute details.

Seller: offline thrift store, no link
Comment: Misfiggy, hope you're having a nice weekend
Could you please take a look at this bag I found at a thrift store? I got it for next to nothing, so I won't be upset if it turns out to be fake. The bag has been dyed and dyed very poorly. There's still some of the dye left on the hardware. Also a rip in the lining. The leather feels bad, but the hardware & logos looked promising to me, that's why I snagged the bag.
If any more pictures are required, let me know. In case the forum compresses the pictures, here's the link to the Google Drive folder.
Thank you!

There's one little detail that's throwing me, @missfiggy and @Bratty1919 probably see it too, but I'm thinking it's authentic. Let's see what they have to say.

Agree with PP - it's old but authentic. And I do see what you are talking about PP but it probably goes with the age.
OMG, thank you both! Do you guys know this style number or what year it is from? I've been trying to google but got nothing.
Do you guys have any recommendations on how to fix the leather? If I gently remove the top layer of the dye and then put moisturizer on it, would it make the leather a bit more supple? Right now, when I touch the bag it just feels like paint on top of the leather.

It looks like maybe white shoe paint may have been used on it. Maybe there is a safe product to remove this? There used to be a shoe dye sold widely here called Meltonian. Was it sold in your home country? Or something similar perhaps? Grasping at straws a bit...
