These are images of the bag itself. I noticed some of the stitching is white and other part is yellow. If its not all one uniform color does this mean its a fake? also can you tell if the brass lock is real? considering taking this to a jeweler to see if its real brass.

my other photos are not uploading properly. can i just email those to you? images of cosmetic bag and wallet

>>> I noticed some of the stitching is white and other part is yellow. If its not all one uniform color does this mean it’s a fake?

The yellow could be a stain – Which of your pictures are you referring to.
I did see soiling of the thread on the bottom section and should be removed with Prep-7.7 > Clean-3.8 > Rinse-3.0 system.


>>> also can you tell if the brass lock is real? considering taking this to a jeweler to see if its real brass.
You have to take a look at the original and compare the stamping, color, weight and dimension are similar.
Brass color is restore by cleaning it with CleanTarnish-1.3 will remove all surface soiling impurities.
