Tory Burch Cross Body Bag Authentic?

[mochacatsvintageshop]

I am not familiar with the Tory Burch bags so unsure if authentic.No tags inside,but name on strap buckle.Pebble leather exterior-tag is from thrift shop so keeping it on in case it is fake.TIA

Without being expert in Tory Burch bags, the construction quality of even mid-range designer bags should be unmistakable. I'm not seeing it there.

If that bag is supposed to be anything like the Tory Burch "Mini Parker Leather Crossbody Bag" (Sold Out) at Nordstroms, I don't think it even comes close. 

When you zoom the detailed pics & note the shape, quality construction of the dual compartments, lining, straps & zipper pulls — I believe you'll have your answer.

@mochacatsvintageshop,

Did you get your money back from that thrift shop? I would have thought showing them the Nordstrom page of the original it was presumably trying to replicate should've been proof enough.

I think it's authentic and it is a Robinson Mini Foldover Crossbody that is missing it's large detachable tassel.

Search on ebay, you will see many of them.

I agree with "A River Runs Through It" that it was authentic.I did return to the thrift shop and got my money back.I did not want to sell it on eBay since the tassel was missing.

 That's too bad. One w/o the tassel sold for $75.

My apologies, I only offered my observations as no one else apparently felt expert enough in Tory Burch either to reply at the time.

I wasn't aware Tory Burch made lower-end, unstructured variations of their bags (the one posted seems to have lost its shape). I've only seen similar on replica sites, unfortunately.

However, apparently not all real Robinson mini foldovers came with a detachable tassel.

e.g. the one shown in 4 pics at Bloomingdale's ("currently unavailable") has no tassel either.

BTW, eBay searches on highly replicated brands' products can be rather problematic, to say the least.

I appreciate both of you taking the time to comment.The thrift shop has a time limit for exchanges so had just a few days to decide.Just wasn't confident about listing it.
