Hello... so ive been losing sleep over this. Please help me authenticate this Hamilton in Sapphire for me. Ive never owned a Hamilton before so cant compare.
Here are my concerns when i first got the bag;
1. the feel of the saffiano leather was rubbery, borderline slightly sticky/tacky when i first got it. Not smooth nor does it make that noise when you run your nails over it like the saffiano Selma tote.This material felt a lot more rubbery than smooth in comparison to my selma. .
2. Supposedly being a stiff saffiano leather, it was very pliable. especially the bottom of the bag is not as stiff as i thought as it it has a lot of give at the slightest touchl i cant hold it by the bottom cause it sinks in. and the handles as shown in pics are so effortlessly bendy and twisty and does not make that squeaky noise of a new MK saffiano bag. i can practically fold the bag into two that is how soft it is.
3.what seemed like sticky glue residue in the black piping of the bag.
4. Color of tags are much paler in comparison from a Selma that i was purchased from Macy's.
5. Another thing i noticed straight away is that the magnetic clapsp does not have numbers or any thing on them. Not sure if that is normal or not.
5.Though hearing that some made in tags are black. I hope this serial number is real.
Please please help me aunthenticate this for me. I bought this from an online seller that is supposed to me known to sell authentic bags, i bought my medium Selma from here and a few
coach FOS bags which werei indeed real. This was my 2nd MK purchase from her. and when asked about these problems her only reply is that she only sells authentic bags and seemed to ignore my pleas after. Her fb domain is "Princess Victoria Stylo'.
My only conclusion if it is authentic is that it was a used returned item to the store hence the discount.
