Hi, can you tell me what about it makes it a fake? When I compare it with pictures from the Valentino website it looks the same. Suede lining, stamps are all the same, etc. I'm attaching more pictures I took because it looks authentic the more I research. But maybe I'm just making myself crazy LOL Im just so curious, so that I know what to look for in buying one in the future from the resale world. Thank you in advance for the help you provide us all!

Hi there- I also wonder buying from resale world... we do have to be very aware as there are several people selling fakes but claiming its real.
For this particular bag I would need ro see a photo of the interior, a picture of the chain up close, the Valentino tag up close and the serial number tag. Also, were tags attached? if yes, how where they attached and where?
Last but not least, I see the back of the hardware of the lock... it has a printed Valentino on it. I have 3 of these bags which were purchased directly from a Valentino boutique and none of mine have it. I would like to see a picture of front of buckle too.

It looks two tone in the pictures. If yes, its def a fake. Also, mine are all leather inferior and not suede. I haven't seen suede interiors in this style bags... but they do now make the actual bag in suede so I'm not sure if they recently changed the leather bags for inferior suede. You may want to call a boutique and ask about that.
Ps: I recently purchased another one of these but the larger version on ebay. It was gorgeous. At first I thought it could be a fake but didn't give much thought about it. When I compared it to my other valentinos, although it was a high end replica, This particular one the chain loops were different and the hardware was more yellow then the authentic valentinos. Also, the little screws on the hardware were not the right ones unused throughout collection. it was determined fake. So I had to open a PayPal claim and now I am disputing it, saying I want my money back ASAP.
I thought that and the suede lining was a clue to it being fake but if you look at this link on the Valentino website it shows the small quilted with a suede lining as well as the Valentino stamp on the inside hardware.

Thank you, I was asking though what are the red flags, what about it looks fake? As I posted the one on Valentino website is also quilted, suede lining and has the stamp. I would like to learn what are the things to look for so I can not get a fake one in the future. Thank you
I would appreciate it if someone could authenticate the following! Thanks very much in advance.
