Authentic. The wear doesn't look too bad, considering the age of the bag, price, and color.
I don't think you have to pay Carol to receive the authentication confirmation? I was under the impression that was given if you just emailed her with the listing number, as Linda's already paid for it. Maybe I'm wrong.
(Not that it really matters - I would suggest a second opinion on items authenticated by Carol, anyway, since she is not always right)
Thank you again, Ann! I was thinking that it's worth the price for how it looks and for being such a light color. Your input is very helpful!
Not having to pay for a confirmation of an authentication already done makes more sense than what I thought. When I went to that website I thought maybe there's a place where to write the listing number and it would tell you if it was authenticated and if it was a genuine or not. That's why I wasn't sure what to do and if I'd pay for it or not. But oopsy about the need for a second opinion!
Thank you again, your help is really, kindly appreciated by such an undecided shopper like me who also has bad luck when it comes to certain websites
