I answered in the other thread but I would probably keep it as well. It doesn't have embroidered stitching so yours is not a fake. It looks just like mine. The moth/butterfly is embossed.
If you are happy with the price you paid then I would probably keep it. I bought mine new from Neiman Marcus and only got it because one came back in stock for about one second. It was $269 on sale but I have never seen it again after another TPFer snagged one a few weeks after me. This is a Neiman Marcus exclusive and they are $350+ on ebay if you can find one. Do you like it? I did take my hangtag off the handle and ran it through the hole next to the handle instead so it wouldn't ride up and down. It did come with a ginormous dustbag.
It is frustrating when the pics on the websites don't match what the actual item looks like.I thought the handle stitching was supposed to be gold, Harley said hers was like mine, so that cleared that up. Everything looks right except the stitching color and no clochette! I paid260$, there is one on eBay for a hundred more! Don’t see any others, guess I’d better learn to like it! Thanks for the help!

I did buy this insert that fits perfectly inside. Most of the felt inserts are too wide for this narrower tote. I don't like my totes to have their bottoms sag. There are 3 colors and I bought the light colored one so I can see my stuff in it.

The only time I'm more concerned of a bag not coming with what it should is if I think I may sell it later. If not, then my choices are like it as it is or take a clochette from another bag and put it on.....or if you can find one on eBay, then it can be complete. I've never looked for them but I guess it is possible!
This bag is too hard to find! There is one on eBay but they want almost 400$ for it. I figured I would be super happy with a tag painted by the artist. It would make the bag mine! I used the tote today, love it. No plans to ever get rid of it. I did have the Anna sui tote and my daughter claimed it. This reminds me of that.
I will continue to look for the clochette!
I do have a rogue with Rivets coming, but it’s navy and brass so that clochette won’t work! It’ll be fun hunting for the right one!haha![emoji848]
