Bought this bag in August of 2021 for $660 (receipt in pics). Date code is clearly visible in the bag but hard to photograph. Made in Paris with date of AR1012. Inside is super clean and free of any odor. Zipper runs clean. Epi leather is resistant to wear, but there is a scratch in the leather on the top back of the bag. It’s not noticeable with the texture unless you look for it, but please see pictures and ask questions if needed. I did have an authenticating service verify the bag was real when I first got it. It was verified authentic. You’re welcome to use my pics to have a verifying company authenticate it as well.
