Need Help Identifying Something

Hi, ladies!

I'm not sure if I am posting this question in the right place or not, but I need some help with something.

A friend of mine just purchased a Brown Signature Stripe purse, item # 10125 off of Ebay. When she received the purse, she called me to ask me questions about it because she just didn't feel right about it. I went to look at the purse and I was really not sure whether it was a fake or not. The things that stood out to me were the zipper not having the YKK. The "C's" alignment were near perfect with only the slightest flaw. I noticed that the brass hardward was really scratched and old looking, but since I don't have anything with brass, I don't know what it should look like. I then saw a really noticable seam at one of the rivets near the handle on the inside trimming. It had the stitching and all and was not coming up or anythin, but I just sure about this either.

Then, after I got to looking at the tag, I noticed something that just has me confused. The tag reads Khaki/Crimson and has the letters BKHMC. This isn't the correct tag for this purse, is it??? Are the letters even the right letters for the Khaki/Crimson purse? I know the purse isn't Crimson....wasn't that the reddish orange color? So, that in itself says that the tag is on the wrong purse....right? But, what do the letters stand for? I would assume they stand for Khaki/Multi Color. Is that correct? If that is the case, the the tag must also be a fake...correct?

I told my friend that she should take photos of everything and send them to the seller and keep copies for herself. I told her to request a refund and if the seller didn't comply, she should file a fraud claim. If someone could help me out with this, I would appreciate it. She probably doesn't need to wait too long to do anything about it, if it's a fake. But, if it's authentic, we'd like to know that too. Does she have reason to file a claim?

Thanks,

Wanda

 

I went ahead and posted this to the Authenticate This forum, but just in case, here is the link to view some photos:

I have already posted my question to that thread. I did so as soon as noshoepolish mentioned it above. I just wasn't thinking when I posted it here, I guess. I apologize again for posting to the wrong thread but I don't know how to remove it from this one.

Anyway, my question is now posted where it should be if anyone would be willing to help. Thank you so much!
