Authentic. Plenty of life life. Date code pictured. See pics of signs of wear. A great deal for genuine authentic LV GUARANTEED... i posted the date code verification as well. This is a gorgeous LV tote and it's big and spacious - I just don't use it enough, and I typically carry smaller bags. If you like large totes, this is perfect. ** please note, the resale evaluation as well as the authenticity certification were done by Authentic Detective. i'm willing to sell for a good price - make me an offer!
