Hi authenticators,
I am really lusting after this beautiful dark red mini square (my dream combo and size!). I tried searching as much information as I could online and after some crazy search, I suspect it came from the Pre-Fall/Winter 2012 line (see second to last pic) but I cannot quite tell if they did release a mini square in this colour combo.

There're a few red flags that ring the alarm for me: 1) I couldn't find much information on this bordeaux colour, let alone the sizes available (how could no one talk about this beauty?!?!) ; 2) the quilt of the back pocket does not completely align with the background [see top right corner of the back pocket] (and seller claims it's brand new so shouldn't be from wear-and-tear); 3) seller's recent ratings were virtually all from selling lower price-point items. Could it be a trap? Or am I just overthinking?
I checked the pictures following the online guidance and advice; it looked likely to be authentic to me but I want to make sure it's not because I want it so bad. It's frustrating that I couldn't find a comprehensive list of past Chanel bag collections online (to my surprise) to cross-check...
A second/ third opinion is much, much appreciated.
Need to see non-blurry up close shots of the full serial #, CHANEL MADE IN stamp and both sides of the zipper pull.
If my memories serves me well, 12A did have square minis in this color/leather/hardware combo.
