I felt very deceived. I thought this was a true real Cult Gaia bag. It is not. It should be stated in the description that this not real. This bag was to be used for a Greenwich Connecticut wedding. The bag showed sign of metal tarnish with studs missing and I was too embarrassed to use knowing that people would ask if this was real. Ended up not using this bag and just paying for it anyway to avoid the uncomfortable questions at the wedding.
