IF Audra

[B. Jara]

I ran across this auction last night...it appears it is for the 2nd version of the Audra, the one that was/is available at NeimanMarcus.com.

I don't think the new style is nearly as nice as the first. Notice the logo inside the bag...and the color of the lining.
I think I will go give mine a hug right now.

Thoughts?

i agree, i love mine (the 1st version). the large tassles and hanging tag look much better, gives it more character.

I saw that last night on ebay too! I made me want to take out my original Audra too and carry it! I never did like the logo on the bag.

So I'm not the only one who surfs ebay for entertainment? :shame:

I think this is the right place to post... did not want to start a new thread!

I think I may have purchased the last IF Audra on neimanmarcus.com. It should arrive by tomorrow, but I'm just wondering: Does it really come with the nameplate on front? I'm hoping that it doesn't, but this was probably the last Audra I could find at the old price. I know there's an updated version with the enamel studs, for $450.

Thank you!

Yep. That's the original. Can't vouch for authenticity for this particular auction, but that's the original style.

I bought mine at Neiman's and it looks exactly like this one - It was a while back - was it the old or the new? - I'm just curious because I love the bag either way. -

The originals do not have teh IF tag on the exterior for one thing. Does yours? This is a tip off as to original or newer version.

There is a small tag on one of the tassles.

 

[Swanky]

That's the original one then. The newer ones have it front and center on the middle of the bag.

The bag looks legit to me too! It is my fav bag!
