But I'm new to Balenciaga and have never seen a piece like the one right above this post either. Thanks.

The link isn't working, but the item number brought it up. This is a very unusual bag, and is probably authentic. I haven't seen one in real life, but could probably make a judgement with better photos of the tags, bale and rivet.

Maybe this link will work:

Yes! A tPF friend mentioned the font on the tags. The leather and color look off to me too... like it's not quite mogano or black cherry... the two colors it resembles that would have been made with GGH.

Your link doesn't bring up an individual bag. I think you mean this one:

I'm almost positive this bag is authentic. I'm a bit paranoid about the newer black GH bags, so I'd like to ask you to wait until someone else corroborates this.

Can we get another opinion on this one please? TIA!

If anyone can weigh in, it would be much appreciated!

Its hardware (metal plate, bales, zippers, rivets) and leather are all wrong.

This is a First style, but will need straight up and clear photos of inner metal plate front and back, bales and rivets for authentication.
