I'd like to help, but can only offer my thoughts, as this bag is really new to me.

I think it is authentic, but because the leather on the tag is not what I'm used to, the imprint looks very different. Nevertheless, the font though sharper, is actually pretty dead-on. The rivets would be in keeping with a bag older than F/W 05, and the bales look perfect.

We might ask for opinions from some of the experts on older bags?

I know it's hard to get an answer on Luna bags sometimes, but anyone who can weigh in would be much appreciated. TIA!!!
It would be so nice if someone with an authentic Luna would post some photos for us.

I wish I could help, but honestly, I'm at a loss with this bag. I rely heavily on the way the imprint on the leather tags looks, and this is a different type of leather. Let's try yelling for help!

HELP! We need help looking at a Luna! TIA!

Thanks for trying! I've been wanting a Luna for ages, but haven't been able to get one authenticated. There are very good copies out there, so want to be sure before buying.

Now here's one I could help with, if there were better photos.

Please try to get a clear, close shot of the tag, front and back, a bale and a better, clearer shot of a rivet. Good luck!

Absolutely! Have you done a search on the forum here for some good phtotos of one? Maybe someone has posted some, but the only Luna's I've seen are photographed from a distance. Good luck!

Hi:
My post was also at the end of the last thread.

repost:
Hi all:
Can you help with this bag?

Item Name: 100% AUTH NEW AND RARE BALENCIAGA BLACK CITY BAG
Item Number: 320432477023
Seller ID: susanna610
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/100-AUTH-NEW-AND...item4a9b43935f

It is an unusual piece I've never seen before. But I'm new to Balenciaga and have never seen a piece like the one right above this post either.

Thanks.

I am inclined to believe it's fake, but maybe a really good fake? There is something about it that looks off to me.

I would rather a more knowledgable person chime in on this one... I'm going by gut instinct only versus actual details.

You have got a good eye roey! I'm not more knowledgeable, but I don't like it either. I think your gut is reacting to the font on the tags which is too deep, and misshapen. Also, the rivets are wrong.
