Authentic and absolutely no signs of wear. No scuffs to the leather. Carried for a couple of weeks. I really tried to make this work for me but there are no pockets inside or out, and I need pockets. Although this is the small tote it does hold a fair amount (in my opinion). The 2nd photo is an MJ photo and gives you an idea as to the size of the bag. Please see last picture for measurements and other details. Comes with tag, care card, manufacturer's plastic wrap, and dust bag.
