**CLOSED** Authenticate This TORY BURCH

I bought a used TB Robinson chain wallet on eBay, originally purchased from Bloomingdale’s, so the auction said. But the chain wallet I received has many discrepancies from one I purchased recently directly from TB. Do the models sold in department stores differ from those sold directly by TB? Or is it just that the same model purse received an update sometime recently? I’ll post some side by side photos. The eBay purchase is the red (used) wallet. The yellow wallet is the recent TB-direct purchase.
Length of leather strap:
Chain strap links:
Different style logo:
Different zipper pull and different chain attachment at interior top flap of wallet:
Different hooks for chain strap:
Leather and stitching look about the same (but red used wallet feels flimsier):
Red wallet zipper pull has “ykk” marked on the side, and zipper fabric does not match leather color:

I wish I could be more helpful to others on these purses! I hadn't ever thought of people selling counterfeit products on eBay because I'm usually shopping sales on the original designer's website. I am not sure my own post above is of a counterfeit wallet, but I am wondering if the discrepancies I have noted are legit due to season-to-season design changes. Or is it that the same product sold from a department store differs from TB inventory sold direct on-line? What I've found on-line on sale at NM, for instance, does seem to indicate a different type of hardware/logo/setup for the TB Robinson chain wallet than what I purchased recently directly from TB website. But I can't tell without examining a wallet at a store.
I've learned my lesson however. I love eBay for other products, but I don't like that I may be purchasing a fake wallet.

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum but have always lurked around on-off over the years.I've recently been looking to get a York Tote (i know im really late to the game!), so i've had to resort to sellers online.
If anyone could shed any light on this I would be most grateful.
I've posted about the tag in the TB chat as well. After lurking this forum and scrolling through hundreds of pages (i'm not kidding...! and @harlem_cutie you are amazing! I've been learning a lot from your posts after reading through the pages!) I decided to make an account to post after looking at everyone's tags as I'm still not completely convinced about this bag.
Also wondering if this colour for the dust bag is legit? I do have a pair of TB flats that came with a blue dust bag, but never seen one for the York Tote in this colour..
Seller claims this Small York Tote was purchased direct from the TB website. Photos provided to me privately and not available online so no official link, sorry about that!
happy to provide more photos! Thank you in advance!

please post the sole but so far so good
I think your best bet is one of the FB groups
Is there a "made in" tag inside? I don't recall if this style came in this color. This is probably one of TB's first styles.
the red version is likely an outlet version. The problem with outlet bags is there are so many variations. Can you post a link to the auction?
This looks authentic. Dust bag is correct for bags from 2012-2014. Is the color a light pink?
Thank you so much! I haven't bought the bag yet...Its supposed to be the light oak colour but maybe it might be a screen difference making the bag seem lighter? Looks pinker in the photo on my screen.
I noticed the made in tag doesn't a production date...would that be a red flag at all?
Thank you again so much!
*sorry meant to say it looks pinker on my macbook screen compared to iPhone so it might be a screen difference
Light oak is a light pink. This looks good to me. The tags are okay too.
Thank you im super relieved now! Will go ahead with the purchase.
If it wouldnt be too much trouble would you be able to take a look at these as well? I already purchased these and they came with a dust bag. I think they are the Hugo flats?? Thank you again for sharing your experience with us!!
Edit: The inside of the shoe says in white text:
Leather upper
Leather lining
Leather sole
6M J13
S/N 11148504
Made in China
Couldnt get a good photo as the text is inside the corner of the shoe near where the toes are. Hope this is ok

Hi @harlem_cutie , just wanted to update you as I got the York tote today!
Turns out the tag does have a production code underneath! I guess when the seller was taking the photo it was obscured by the flap of the lining! Attached a photo below.
So far I'm really loving the bag, and just wanted to say again how much I appreciate your help in giving me peace of mind before I went through with the purchase in person. I'm now a lot more confident with spotting potential fakes too.
Do you have any tips on how to take care of/clean Saffiano leather? I had a Saffiano leather key holder that I stupidly tried to clean with tap water, and I found that the colour rubbed off the leather....by then it was too late to reverse the damage, so I hope I dont make the same mistake with this bag!
