View attachment 2293215Hello everyone. I am looking to get a Stella McCartney handbag, that I picked up, authenticated. This bag is extremely large and was advertised as a duffle bag. It is heavy and seems to be well made. It is a bluish color and the material feels solid. The lining is a heavy canvas. Here are my concerns: no serial numbers that I can find, plain canvas lining, interior zipper pull, and I have not found another one like it. Please let me know what you think or if you need any additional information. Thank you!
Ladies can someone help authenticate this bag..thanks a lot....

Thanks emcosmoAs far as I can tell it looks good. I want to reiterate, though, that I'm not a true authenticator, I'm just someone who has tons of Stella bags and loves the brand.

I wish I could help but I"m not familiar with this bag at all.
Ok, thank you. I am not sure what to do with it. I have no idea if it is real. Anyone else have any clue?
Ok, here are a few more pictures. Thanks in advance!

Actually, the dustbags that come with most of the authentic bags have white drawstrings, not purple thick ones, as mentioned by Mamamaxim above. Also, I have a beige colored SM bag that I purchased at Bergdorfs and the fabric is a bit lighter weight and rather flimsy/slouchy compared to other SM bags.Starting with the dustbag, Stella Mccartney dustbags are all made of STRONG ,thick, waxed cotton with a purple strong string ,in the T (for Stella) there are 9 dots and the dots are purple colour, the fake dustbag was made of flimsy cheap cotton with white strings ,had a 100% organic cotton logo in the corner and the T ( of Stella) had 7 dots and were brown colour.
The stitch was the biggest indicator as it was larger and not perfect as the real ones, the real Stella's stitches are very tight and straight ,the Stella Mccartney printed inside the bag should be clear dots ,not smudge ,the purse that comes attached to the bag's metal inside must be perfectly stitched,not shabby like the phony ones as you can see in the picture and even the little ring that holds the purse should be thick not thin and fragile. Although Stella Mccartney bags are synthetic, they should be heavy ,firm and strong, the quality is as good as leather, it should be sturdy, not thin like cheap plastic and shouldn't be light.The patent bags should be strong and even rubbing against the wall shouldn't make the material deteriorate
