This handbag is fantastic. Better than I imagined. Saw similar bags in the Dior shop in Las Vegas for over twice the price. The sales people in the shop said it was authentic and most likely made for the european market as they had not seen that color in the states. They raved about the perforated leather and said it was rare and increased the value of the bag. Of course all this information made me very happy. I love this bag. Get compliments every time I wear it. It is stunning!
