I purchased this tax-free during a trip to Italy. Of course, it's authentic! It's durable and has a luxurious feel. I believe the retail price in Japan was around 30,000 to 35,000 yen. There is some fading around the zipper, which is typical of the Canapa material. It might become a little cleaner if washed with a neutral detergent. The inside is clean. I'm selling it at a low price to someone who understands that it's a used item. (Other listings with stains were priced around 20,000 yen.) I'm decluttering, so feel free to negotiate the price^^
