Pls authenticate. Do I need extra pictures? Also, I'm a newbie, so if the "bale" and "rivet" pictures are required, I'm not sure what those are .

Ask for a clear shot of the bale, rivet, and inside tag - metal (top) and leather underside.

Hi! I'm now confused. I just bought this bag. It really looks real but i kind of have some doubts because:

1. It has the "old" LAMPO zipper which is engraved?
2. The rivets in this bag do not bear the "notches"/curves in the stud. Is that normal?
3. The shoulder strap is "folded over." It does not look like a single layer that has an opening for the 'hardware.'

Are those normal in authentic Balenciaga bags in this style?


Item Name: Rare Authentic Balenciaga Black Suede First Bag
Item Number:200338282618
Seller ID: Le.authentica
Link:http://cgi.ebay.ph/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&
item=200338282618

I really need your help in authenticating this bag.

Thank you very much.

Hi aki, I see the seller's added more pictures but none of the important parts are visible. We still need pictures of the back of the tag and rivet to be safe. I know members have already asked for these pictures, so hopefully the seller will provide them in time. Good luck! And thanks for using the format

Hi, this is authentic. All lampo zippers are engraved -- the older ones use a slightly different font. The rivets do not have notches in them; this is correct for this bag, as it's from 02 and rivets were notched in 05. I'm not sure what you mean by the shoulder strap. Are you referring to the pad? In any case, this First looks good to me.

Thanks heaps Jira,
I remember Celia was asking about this bag and since I didn't check this thread for few days, I thought perhaps at this point of time the bag has been ID-ed

Oh no, not at all!
I seem to always break the rule so hoping that I do the right thing!

@ Jira

Thank you very much. I feel relieved! haha!

I think the style is kinda rare. I just saw 1 bag from a different site that looks the same:
http://shop.realdealcollection.com/p...&productId=451

And I was not sure if the site was reliable. I just had to ask you guys.

Thanks again!!!
