So the story ends with happiness! The seller doesn't seem to have been lying - she emailed me back a few days later saying she'd see how it went at the leather people after she gets back from holiday. I might still end up buying from her if my friend finds the condition acceptable, because she's on the hunt for the same bag.
But the best part is I managed to score an even better deal for the same bag with a super helpful and responsive seller. And guess what! It turns out the seller is a TPF member's bf, and that member happened to have read this thread here!!! So not only have I got the bag, I have "met" some wonderful and helpful people! Thank you very much M and D =) The world works in mysterious ways...
