juzluvpink, you need to get a pic of the rivets! strange that the seller keeps on sending you pics you didn't ask for. makes me doubt. anyway, we'll see when you got the right pics.

Fantastic!! Thank you!

I'm kind of confused about this one, it looks off to me, and the bales are certainly just wrong! But the seller says it has been authenticated in Selfridges????

The seller can say whatever they want to, but this Giant City is fake.

Hi - I've been looking for a turquoise city for a while now so am hoping this one is real!!

Item name: Balenciaga 2008 Turquoise City
Item no: 180356102380

Thank you

BTW - the listing says that the bag has just come from being moisturized at Lovin' My Bags... is that likely to have affected the bag in any negative ways - or is this a question better posted in another thread...?

I've been wanting the Praline and this Sahara selling for a good price looks like a bargain... I'm never sure about pictures on ebay though...

This bag is fake. The bales are square and there was never a color like this. STay away!

Anyone with some expertise on the "Chic," style..please jump in!

Thanks so much!

pearlisthegurl · May 16th, 2009, 03:13 PM

Ok! I can get an incredible deal on this bag but I want to make sure its real!

This is what the seller told me!

he way to tell it's authentic is that all the back of the zipper has "lampo" on it. The back of the logo tag should have code# and mark with made in italy, I have pics of it but my camera is not good at displaying it. the authentic # is 128523 3666.
