I want to warn against buying this inauthentic bag that The Real Real is selling. I purchased the vintage kelly 20, then paid for @bababebi's authentication services. Upon my initial inspection, the bag seemed off to me. There were so many things that didn't look or feel right (half of the stamp is missing, photo below), so I'm glad bababebi's analysis was the same. She deemed that it was INAUTHENTIC and listed a variety of reasons.

I previously purchased a bag from TRR that they listed as anemone leather. Thankfully, the bag was deemed authentic by bababebi but the color is completely wrong. Bababebi told me that anemone wasn't even out in 2005 yet and that the actual color is cyclamen. How can I believe TRR's opinion of authentic vs inauthentic if they can't even correctly identify a shade of purple?

Anyways, I sent it back and they issued a refund after having their "in-house experts" re-evaluate the bag. I believe bababebi's evaluation over their "experts". I guess TRR still thinks it's real or they're trying to make money from people who don't authenticate second-hand purchases.
