The bag is great! My colleague just bought the same bag and saw my PV replica and picked it up, smelled the leather and said, I can tell this is real! I felt a bit bad that she just paid 3100 for the bag I just paid less than 400 for. The handle is a bit off but no one would think this was a replica. My advice is to call PV after you order to help the process go smooth. I called and had to authorize them charging my credit card, I also followed up to be sure they had sent. I ordered on 6-01 and received on 6-13. My friend ordered on 6-1 and received on 6-15.
