Metal parts not covered in tissue paper like new designer handbag would be. Tags were detached and inside of bag. It did come with the dust cover. Telltale signs it clearly was not new - metal pegs on the bottom were slightly scratched and chains had slight wear. There was a spot on the leather with slight wear as well. It was arguably still worth the price I paid but they should fully disclose what the buyer is receiving. I'll keep it because it seems to be genuine...? I'm curious what people are getting now that the price is back up to nearly triple what I paid.
