So a few more to share since they've cleared our amazing authenticators (thanks again!). Really enjoying seeing, touching, and smelling the differences between the bags. What a history they each have. And at some point, I will steam out the fabric background :lol:

When I first touched the leather when taking the bag out of the box, I literally gasped and then went, "Wow, oh WOW!" This pillowy, buttery, smooth yet lightly textured leather is A-MAZING...nothing else compares to it's uniqueness. I now understand the 2005 leather allure! :loveeyes:

It needs a bit of work but will be worth it. Presenting: 2005 City RH in black (A tag)! :yahoo:

Thank you @Rose100 for posting it in the Finds thread!

Please don't tell me this isn't real; please don't wake me up from this dream! :girlsigh:

Dang that leather!

I assume you plan to restore this—do consider posting before/afters if you are willing!

I have no business posting here since it’s going back. But the luscious, juicy, deep pourpre Day I purchased on FP (1st photo) arrived looking anemic, dry, dull, and faded. On top of it, UPS delivered 3 days late, eating into the measly 14 day return policy. I’ve been stung too many times by FP’s dishonest photo color manipulation and their new return policy is making me cranky.

On a brighter note, eBay’s newfangled bag authentication/inspection saved me yesterday. They called me directly on my cell to tell me the 03 Lilac City I panic bought (terrible photos, though clearly authentic) had been painted. Following my “yuck,” they immediately cancelled the transaction and sent the bag back to seller. Silver linings.
