text: It's the real deal!  I love, love, love it!  Only giving four stars because of the packing and shipping.  Perhaps the seller can't control this, but when I opened the box, there was a strong chemical smell.  Also, there was no protective bag, like a dust cover.  I though all designer purses came with those.<br /><br />Again, LOVE the purse, just didn't love the packaging and the fact that I had to air my purse out before I could use it.
