This purse has been authenticated. I never liked bright colored purses, but honestly adore this pop of color - it’s not overwhelming, but still bright and happy. Please pay attention to the areas that need rehab - the bottom has wear at seams, some wear on zipper tab, underside of strap needs cleaning, few light marks on back side - they are NOT mold spots. There were a little bit of makeup that I gently blotted out with a qtip. L
