I just bought a Botkier Emily at my local resale shop. I wasn't wowed by Botkier until I touched this bag and it was the most amazing, softest leather I have ever felt. It was very smooth and delicate, so I thought lamb or goat skin. I immediately snatched it up bc I loved it so, but I want to make sure it's authentic. Since there's no Botkier thread (that I could find!) I thought I'd ask here.
It has riri zippers, the inside metal botkier plate on leather, botkier engraved on the clips, black botkier logo interior, but what worries me is that the inner zipper doesn't look like the current ones. It is just a normal black zipper (no leather pull) and there is no leather backing around the zipper area. This bag seems pretty well worn, so it might be a earlier issue of the bag. I can't find any info on when they released the emily...please help!!!! I need to return it asap if there are doubts. Thanks so much in advance. Any help would be sooooooo appreciated!
