Authentic. Has signs of wear that are seen when looking for it. When closely inspecting the bag, you'll notice some wear on handles (still strong with lots of life left/no cracking). Exterior has scratches, creasing and corner wear (in only one of the corners). Still a beauty with stunning burgundy wine crossgrain polished pebble leather offset by shinny UNTARNISHED gold-tone hardware. Lobster clasp closure opens to a roomy interior with a zippered pocket and two slip pockets. Measurements: 19” L x 12” H x 7.5” D w/10" drop on handles Style No. 87542E
