Found this little bag at a thrift shop The chances of a thrift shop find being real is probably minimal, but I fig'd they're not as commonly faked in the U.S.? This seems like it's a little older design. I haven't polished it up, or cleaned up the hardware, snaps, etc. yet. What do you think? I set the first photo by a framed 4x6 photo so you can see that it's pretty little.

Hello girls, I have not visited this forum in a long time, just trying to hold back from purchasing more Furlas
))
Since I am friends with a store manager at a Furla store I have seen the recent collections; as to color passion fruit has no pink it is an orange-red, a color that would only look good on people with tanned skin IMHO. Dragon fruit is purple in color with pink tinge.
I think the 900 bag costs that much because of workmanship, it is woven leather yes like a BV, but my store manager said she did not order any because she thought the woven leather looked already worn on a brand new bag, whatever that is supposed to mean.
I was really into the jelly shoes, I love the green-blue heels and they were really nice and comfortable when I tried them on, held back as I felt they would not get enough use.
The bags are cute, I first strongly disliked them because I am not into plastic bags but in the summer they could be very practical when we go on vacay, on the beach, etc. and still stylish and fun. I myself liked the blue I think.
From the new collection my biggest loves were the Laila bags made of buffalo, loved the clean lines and the color which is great for work with the coconut white (a grayish white) with grey, black and beige handles. I think I will have to go in and visit soon.
Hope you all had a nice easter weekend.

Congratulations jroger it does look great to me, I loved that bag just the store manager put me off, I think she just has bad taste)) or a different taste from us maybe, your bag is stunning.
I do have a bag with a matter plate like that on the inside and complained about that in the store, interenstingly the Furlas which are made in China whereas this bag I have which is made in Italy and was a more expensive one around 500 (though got it 30% off) has a crooked scratched up tag on the inside, so yes unfortunately that could be right, I do not get why they are not paying more attention to that.
Furlas do have an intoxicating scent, mine I have worn almost everyday for 5 months now and the leather smells awesome even now, they work with really high quality leather. My other Furlas smell great too but since this one has been out so much I thought the scent would go away but no.

According to the Furla website, the Nerin Woven Shopper is "washed cow leather" thus the worn look. I actually think this is why I find it appealing and it gives the bag a unique look. Love, love, love the smell. I reported in an earlier post I found the bag on sale & since Zappos does not price match I'm returning & getting it $200 cheaper at Macys. Apparently they had only one in the lighter color after I purchased they are again showing only the darker one available. I decided against both the pink Furla bags & went with Treesje fuschia & I'm very glad because I'm not tanned (anymore) only in my younger years thus the wrinkles now!

i'm a furla store junkie, and it looks authentic to me. but best to ask the furla authenticate thread.
Jroger, sorry I am not sure if I got it right from your post when you said you decided against both Furla bags I am not getting it, did you mean you decided not to get the woven leather bag? I understand you returned the one you had but then decided against a replacement? Sorry I may have read the previous posts a bit too fast))

I dont know anyone who likes furla....but then again I dont know anyone who's into bags as much as me.
Sorry I often get lost in my own posts. I decided against both PINK Furla bags, dragonfruit & fuschia and bought the Treesje Fushia. I definitely got the woven Furla but returned to Zappos & used F&F discount at Macy's and got it for $200 less. I could not live without the woven Furla now that I've seen it IRL but got irritated with Zappos that they could not price match.

Awesome bag!! i love the rustic woven leather look. Campomaggi has come out with some woven hobo looks, and they are tdf!! I can only imagine the wonderful smell of this bag! Congrats!
Me too!! I think this is a cute line of bags, This one is a little too small for me, and I don't want to sell it as real, if it isn't real, and of course I can't take it anywhere in Michigan for authentification !!
Thanks- I love this bag too. It is the large size and I emptied it somewhat to just wristlet, keys, water, juice box and pull-ups for my son. My sweet sister in law was nice enough to pose for these pics. Now she wants the bag! Oh, and she's about 5"3.This bag is grogeous i love it
You ladies may remember I bought the Furla Woven Nerin from Zappos and returned & used F&F discount & bought the same bag from Macys. Well it's not exactly the same color. I do love it, I was just expecting the same exact bag. The color on both sites and tag indicates Sabbia (beige) but the one from Macys that just arrived today is much darker. The darker color also makes the bag look smaller. 1st picture is the original bag from Zappos which I already returned. The rest of the pictures are the Macys bag, although the closeups look darker than the actual bag. I guess I should have expected a bit of a difference in a handmade bag, but I'm a little disappointed. I love this color too, but definitely more brown less grey/green in there. What do ya'll think?
