Legit B&R Bag?
 
So you know that old saying about too good to be true?

Does this appear to you guys to be a legitimate B&R product? The description certainly sounds just fine, but the product images don't match any images that I can find on B&R's site or any shop I've dealt with before:

In fact that zip shape (smiley face) is not one B&R appear to use. All of their bags have the opposite direction. Could this be a high end fake?

Doesn't even look like an 'elaborate' fake to me. The front of that bag is much too trashy looking for B&R.

Photo itself could be mistake. I have seen quite a few bad ads for good products. You might ask B&R if the seller is an authorized seller for their products.

Looks very much like a Transcend bag with the stowable net attached.

I think it's end of line - looks like last year's model. Still a good bag for checking in and will come with the same warrenty.

B&R does have a 25% off sale on some Transcend items on their website.

Yup, definitely the Transcend line. The net can be tucked away into a small pocket.

The interior pic doesn't look like the 27" Transcend, but the outside definitely looks like the same line. The price works out too, it's going for $18 USD less on ebags.com than the ad the OP posted.
