That's a huge concern. SHe might save money but get an inaccurate authentication.
If Etinceler needs to handle the bag in order to authenticate (and they're considered the best), how can Lollipuff do it by pictures on that series?
I have no reason to think that lollipuff could be sure of authenticity through photos alone, but I also have no reason to think that a4u could be sure through photos alone when they were operating.
My personal feeling is that etinceler and leather surgeons would give her the most certainty, but if she just wants a pair of knowledgeable eyes to look at the photos and tell her if anything jumps out beyond the obvious as not looking right, maybe lollipuff is an OK option. I was just putting it out there as a suggestion based on what I've read on other threads and my experiences with them on 2 occasions, since I wouldn't trust the other photos-only option ****************** at all. Perhaps there are other options.
