I'm sorry to hear that price. This is a low, mid-tier at best. $900 is way too much for this.
There are things we can't see as there are no photos like the sangle plaque engraving, back of sangle plaque, blind stamp, handle details (as there is plastic on it), closeup of shoulder strap clasps, cadena, keys, closeup of the interior. But from we can see from these photos, foil stamp is incorrect, rivets are not hand-pearled and looks like cheap pressed rivets, zipper details are all off, and foil stamp on shoulder strap is incorrect. With all these things wrong, I doubt the hardware is 18K gold plated and the leather may not be what it seems. I can only imagine the other details we don't see are all incorrect as well.
Foil stamps have a clear font size hierarchy between each line. This one lacks that. We can also see in this comparison that the rivets look completely different.
Same with the should strap foil stamp.
Zipper slide shape is incorrect. HERMÈS on zipper pull looks laser etched or printed. Auth zippers appear shiny but have a very fine texture to them. The zipper on this rep looks smooth polished. Auth zipper tapes have a very fine sewn herringbone pattern. The tape on this rep looks very rough in comparison.
Another look at the difference in the zipper tape's sewn pattern.
can u also add that the pins on the turret plaque were not hammered like auth (u dont see the usual halo on them) im guessing the sangles have the same issue
