While this bag has a lot of things correct, there are some things I don't like. There should be a style tag behind the made in country tag but it's missing. I do not like how some of the hardware is stamped...sloppy, not crisp & precise, even wearing off in some places. This is a confusing style...the large Bedford Top Zip Tote but it's sometimes called the Ciara Top Zip tote. I have found most Ciara are outlet bags & also come in the Saffiano leather. Did you also get the original retail tag along with the care card? From what I can tell, I cannot say this is authentic 100%. Some things don't look quite right. I would rather err on the side of caution.
