I have been following this thread from the start and I have to say we can debate until the cows come home on who has more expertise (H craftsmen or the authenticator) but at the end of the day, only H's opinion matters. So why not everyone just take a chill pill and wait for OP's further updates :flowers:

To OP, if it offers you any consolation, I casually showed the pictures to a close friend who worked in my home store for several years and she agreed that the bag in the pictures is no doubt authentic. In addition, if the store that accepted your bag had any doubts, they should have not accepted it on the spot, that's the practice my store adopts (though it's not explicitly stated/mentioned). Did your store hinted in any way that they have doubts?

Anyway, I really do hope that this matter solves in your favor. Good luck.

It’s a great question but don’t feel badly. I do not know anyone who authenticates twice.

It maybe uncommon for people to authenticate the same bag twice, but it’s much safer to take and submit your own photos for authentication after receiving the bag from the reseller to be sure it’s the same bag. The photos OP posted earlier were taken by the reseller.

Thanks everyone for leaving me your feedback. I appreciate all the opinions and thoughts.

The new round of assessment at HQ has been organized. On my end It is worth mentioning that another reputable third party authenticator also had a look at the photos and provided feedback. It is consistent with Bababebi’s opinion.

As I go back to waiting I suggest we all take a break from this till I hear back from HQ. I promise to share the outcome here in due course.

Again really appreciate everyone’s help and support.

There are many members.....many opinions.....and a lot everyone wants to say.....it's a public forum. I know "take a chill pill" means to calm down if someone is unduly riled so the instruction seems a little out of place.

To OP, if it offers you any consolation, I casually showed the pictures to a close friend who worked in my home store for several years and she agreed that the bag in the pictures is no doubt authentic. In addition, if the store that accepted your bag had any doubts, they should have not accepted it on the spot, that's the practice my store adopts (though it's not explicitly stated/mentioned). Did your store hinted in any way that they have doubts?

Imo....No one would be able to view the limited pictures posted here and determine that the bag is "no doubt" authentic.

Anyway, I really do hope that this matter solves in your favor. Good luck.

thanks for the update, i am still following this thread.
Wishing you a speedy resolution with H.
Hope they have given you an estimated wait time? That's the least they could do now...
