Help please....I just purchased a Thea hobo online. The leather & lining look good, but I was shocked to see that the hardware - the rings that connect the strap & the little square metal piece attached to the tassle - are actually made of plastic! They look real, but you can tell from the weight & by clinking them with your finger, that it's plastic, not metal. This is my first Tory bag.....I was expecting a higher quality...and METAL hardware. Please let me know if I should return as counterfeit, or if Tory Burch really uses plastic accents on some leather bags? Thank you for your help!

Here are some photos:
 
Please don't forget to link to the seller and add a pic of the inside of the bag as well as the "made in" tag found in the bag. Thanks!
Ok, I think I have what you need. Her

Here's the listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/282111493293 and I'll post the photos and tag you separately. For some reason it won't let me add to this reply.
 
@harlem_cutie dang it...it won't let me upload....says the server cannot upload files of that size...although it let me upload the same size yesterday. Any ideas?
just tell me what it says. The seller is very reputable so the bag is definitely authentic. I suspect this is a "made for outlet" bag and they cheapened out on the pieces by using plastic. The cherry color was released in 2014 so this bag wouldn't be in a retail store. If your issue is authenticity then don't worry as it's authentic but if your issue is quality you should return it if you can.
 
@harlem_cutie thank you - just saw your reply after I got the photos loaded. Thanks for your feedback. She (seller) seemed very reputable and I agree it seems authentic. But the hardware really threw me. I never considered it might have come from an outlet. That makes total sense. Although I'm not thrilled with the hardware, my beef is more with Tory Burch and not with the seller. She did send me what was advertised. I think I'll keep it and try to overlook the hardware issue. Thanks again!

I'm not sure what was quoted. This bag is in a seasonal color. The inside tag should have had the year. The size of the bag is wrong for the medium Fleming. It's off by a few cm in the width. This bag is an excellent fake. Most of the patent Flemings are. I urge you to get a second opinion if you are in doubt. It cannot hurt.
Thankyou harlem cutie, i got my money bag :)
