I was just replying to your last paragraph about being interested in some Hermes quota bags but not being able to get authentication in time.The authenticity of the item was not in question. I did not like the state of the item so I have returned it.
What was the problem was the date I shipped it back.
If the item was proved to be a counterfeit after the return window has elapsed, then I would have to jump through more hoops to get my money back. I don't want that hassle.
