I would return this one. There are things that are really off. The tag is no good. Everything is wrong about it. The "made in china" is in the wrong place. The main T emblem is supposed to be an inch or two larger so that comes halfway over the flap. Too many inconsistencies for it to be authentic. I don't own a mini fleming but the only bags I own that have ever had a smell are the York totes.

Thank you for that! I asked the seller where she got her purse originally and she said she bought it through internal connection at the TB store and TB outlet.

This was weird because the other bag is def authentic. Seller also has a ton of new bags so I even double-checked to make sure these weren't recent changes. Employee discount makes sense but this bag is still suspect.

She doesn't have a lot of Tory Burch purses for sale.

Thanks for sharing the seller. Now I don't feel so crazy because I was starting to wonder why suciv777 had a mix of fake and real bags. Now I know it's an entirely different seller.

Now for some visuals - this listing is an authentic listing - http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Tory-Bu...341532?hash=item33b420345c:g:pAwAAOSwFNZWysJw

Look at the tag so you can see where the tag on this one went wrong. More importantly, look at how sharply defined the serifs on the "T" emblem are and compare them to yours. Also look at the positioning of the emblem. Notice how it seems to be an inch longer on both sides of the authentic one. These are the three main reasons why this is fake.

Good luck with your refund :smile:

Oops should've mentioned that earlier haha. I asked the seller for a refund, hope she agrees! And thank you for the visuals, I can't tell what's authentic anymore. I should've stuck with suciv777 :T

Here is a Poshmark post about suciv777. Looks like the bags she sold to the clients aren't authentic. People have been taking them to the Tory Burcgh stores :T

There were definitely some bags that looked suspect, the Britten totes in particular. I always go case by case because anytime a seller has too many brand new bags it's automatically suspicious. It's not uncommon for a seller with so many bags to mix real and fake together. They are able to sell of the strength of good feedback. This is why it's so hard to vet a seller outright.

I hope everyone can get a refund and if you have any second thoughts about what you purchased you should too. There's no point in having anxiety about a bag's authenticity. It takes away the joy of using it.

Tory Burch's official policy, like so many other retailers, is that they do not authenticate bags. You may get lucky with an SA or Manager but in my experience most aren't experienced enough to properly do this. The new bags don't even have stamped hardware so they are even easier to fake.
