I bought this at a thrift store... but I doubt it is real. Can you help me? I am sorry to be so ignorant... but I don't know how to learn if I don't ask. :smile1:

Thanks in advance!

Sorry - it's definitely not. It's sort of a hybrid of two different collections - Abstract Links and Hattaras. The interior country of origin label is wrong. Also, see how the interior pocket sticks out? On an authentic bag it will be completely built into the lining.

Sorry for the bad news ~ Kat

Also, that little bow is almost always a sign of a fake. Here's the page on ihatecounterfeits that shows what it would look like if it's real. Also, you didn't show the metal feet on the bottom, but I'm willing to bet yours are pointy, and if you look at the hatteras bag, you can see the rounded bottom of the metal feet (which will be true of other styles of bags as well). Although it doesn't have all the newer styles, this page by elviscostellofan is probably the best way to start educating yourself about fakes.

Thanks so much for your help everyone. I am so glad to finally find some place where I can get help instead of some of the ugliness I have found elsewhere!:D
