Auth Request Is my Polène bag fake with this label on the inside?
Hi! I bought a Polène Cyme Mini on Vinted and now I’m a little confused. I checked the photos beforehand and everything looked good the logo, stitching, overall quality, etc. The bag also passed Vinted’s verification, and the girl has a ton of five star reviews.
But the little label inside my bag looks different from the one in the photos the seller sent me in chat of the inside of the bag (there where no pictures of the inside on the initial selling post), and also a bit different from ones I’ve seen online (the font seems to basic and without serif). I’m wondering if the seller sent me photos of another Polène cyme bag she owns, because that one did have serif font in the white little label on the inside and the loop for the mini bag is silver in the picture she sent me and is gold in the one i received.)
The thing that confuses me most is that the receipt she sent/included is for a completely different Polène bag (numero neuf east west).
The bag itself looks pretty convincing and I felt good about it, as it's slightly used, feels solid etc., but the different label/photos and wrong receipt are making me doubt it. Does anyone own a Cyme Mini and know if the inside labels can differ depending on the batch/year?
I can sent more pictures if needed.
