Where did you get it? Could you post pictures of showing right front of its inner tag, bale and rivet? The number on the tag on the reverse doesn't match its style, at least this is what I can tell.

Thank you! I reported both of the items to eBay. They haven't removed them yet, though.

Please hang on... We need senior Bal experts' help here. This is a First, but the tag number says it is a City. The bale almost looks good from the angle on the photo. I was hoping to see the right front photo like those:







Also, how about its rivet? Is it like this?




I know the photos you listed are from the seller. Hopefully some senior Bal experts could tell its authenticity from those photos seller provided. I looked it again, the handle is kind of too long to me. But I have only one First so I am not experienced to tell. Could someone chime in?

Sorry.... The more I look, the more I believe this is fake. Its buckles are wrong. I would say this is a super fake. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Not an expert, but the inside tag in the photos, doesn't belong to the style of the bag shown in the other photos. Have you confirmed that the tag matches what's in the pictues? Is it possible she sent you some of the wrong photos? If this is fake, it's too good for the faker to have put the wrong tag inside.

I agree with the others. The front and back of the tag show numbers for a City. This bag is a First size and shape.

It's not adding up.

That's a really odd error for Balenciaga to make.

this bag is a SUPER FAKE - the style on the tag doesn't match the bag style - the numbers are for a city bag and this bag is a first. also, the font on the back of the tag is totally wrong.

where did you get this? is there an auction?
