Does Anyone Own an Alviero Martini Bag?

I purchased an Alviero Martini tote bag which I don't believe is authentic. But I'm not the expert so I need some major help to take care of this situation. I'll bet you've heard this a million times or more. Anyways, I do know the zipper was added by a previous owner which I had planned to reverse. Imagine my surprise when I received this bag that feel more like plastic instead of leather. It has a clingy mushy feel to it. I've taken multiple photos that I hope will be sufficient to make a determination. I did read your guidelines and apologize for the use of flash since its after dark and natural daylight not an option right now. There isn't much to this bag meaning its very simple in design the only parts that seem leather are the two handles and 2 patches. The lining is horribly stained not an authenticity issue though. I'm just lost as to where to go. Please help this disabled Nurse try to get her money back. The seller was on Poshmark. Did I hear you cringe. Lolx2. Now how do I upload photos?View attachment 2253916View attachment 2253917View attachment 2253918View attachment 2253920View attachment 2253921View attachment 2253922View attachment 2253923View attachment 2253924View attachment 2253925View attachment 2253926
I was able to turn this bag inside out to view lining. I will send second post to send remaining pics. Thanks in advance of you assistance. Blessings, Health & Prosperity to you & yours.
 
Hi! I know this post was from a while ago, but yes, I have 2 Alviero Martini 1º classe bags! I'm actually DYING to get rid of them! They're gorgeous, but they were given to me by my ex boyfriend. They're in near new/new condition!

Just curious, as you don't see many of them around, but they are so stunning with the world maps painted on the leather. I have a chance to get two of them, and I was just wondering how you like them and if they hold up well. Thank you!
I have a cross body bag which I just removed from the dust bag to use. I've had it several years, and it's in mint condition. However, the coating has become separated from the fabric and looks cloudy. Has anyone had this happen? They said it's not under waranty and cannot be repaired. Now I have very expensive junk!
