3.1 Phillip Lim

• Black pebbled leather lining • A metal zipper across the top • A small gold foil stamp/signature reading “3.1 Phillip Lim” That gold script is the designer’s brand mark, so this is from 3.1 Phillip Lim, a contemporary designer label. The placement and style of the stamp are typical for the interior of their handbags and clutches. If you’re checking authenticity, a few quick things people usually look for: • Clean, even foil stamping (not blurry or flaking) • Quality leather with a natural grain (like this pebbled texture) • Smooth zipper action with solid metal teeth • Neat stitching along seams
