Hi there, I'd be interested to hear what others have to say about this bag but there are a few red flags for me. Firstly, the engraved 'Ferragamo' on the clasp doesn't look right - the 'e' appears to be merged into the first 'r'. This is typical of fakes because they do not have the precision equipment or the quality control of genuine Ferragamos. However, the pictures aren't clear enough to tell for sure. Secondly, the gold-tone hardware to which the handle attaches, is set crookedly at the top of the bag. And thirdly, the biggest problem for me is that there is no picture of the tag and serial number to allow proper authentication. I have actually asked this seller a couple of times to provide this but they have refused to acknowledge my request. This, more than any other thing, raises alarm bells for me. Hope this helps!

I have to mention, in fairness to the seller, that she has responded to my enquiry and confirmed that the bag does have a tag and serial number. This nullifies my third point above.

I'm now going to sit on the fence for this one and hope that someone else can lend their expertise....

Sorry but I have serious doubts about the authenticity of this bag. Biggest red flag is the engraved 'Salvatore Ferragamo' shown in the 5th pic. The engraving is inconsistent and way too shallow in places. The stitching of the handle shown in the 3rd and 4th pics, and the handle itself is nowhere near the quality I'd expect of a genuine Ferragamo. One side of the bag is buckled out of shape along the top (2nd pic). And the stitching at the top of the inside zip doesn't look good. It looks like an 80's knock-off to me, sorry again!
