Could someone help me authenticate this medium D-bag, said from 2005? It looks odd to me as:

1. it's lined in this synthetic looking fabric.
2. a piece of leather is attached to on the back handle.
3. the back of the zipper pull doesn't have any inscription.
4. No made in Italy mark.
5. the engraving on the end of the straps look messy.

Here are the pictures:

Thanks so much in advance!

This is the link to the original ebay listing with more pictures.

Authentic, smell may be due to where and how it was stored.

It is authentic, it is one of the earlier nylon Messengers. The leather is matte calf leather. The newer ones have Patent Leather trim. The hardware on this bag is correct and the embossing is also correct.

Hi LT Bag lady

Thank you so much for your reply..as I came across this bag frm this website www.namedbags.com

Wondering if you have any idea u came to know about this store which selling authentic bags.

I'm going to take a somewhat uneducated guess and say that the bags on that website are fake. I wouldn't trust any site that is using stock photographs from the manufacturer's website. If I could get a D-Bag for $732 I'd buy three of them!
My opinion is based as well on the brand new Bottega Veneta Roma they are selling for $820 as well as the Maxi Veneta for $810 Just.Not.Possible.
But! I would await LT Bag Lady's opinion as well.
