bought it at a sample sale .. not really concerned about the price tag.. just need to know that the price is justified by it being authentic ;]

looks good. i am pretty sure this is f/w 06 blueberry. yesterday the auction had the city listed as ink but today it has changed to dark blue. good luck!

sorry this box is not looking good to me but can you reshoot the buckles one more time from another angle? also the rivets if you can. close-up and clear if possible.

i would ask for more pictures of this hook bag. close-up of thre leather itself, the leather tag, the serial numbers, and of the balenciaga metal plate.

I agree with the other poster, those buckles on that black box are not looking good.

I just recently bought a beautiful pale rose city from this seller. She's wonderful to work with and my bag was practically brand spankin new and definitely authentic!! I couldnt be happier with my purchase!

Thanx robotdoll! I just asked for the pics and I'll post them here when (if) I get them!

Sorry to butt in here, but this black Box bag is fake. Nicole was right, the buckles are the wrong shape, the whipstitching is wonky, the black leather tab in wonky, the leather is too shiny and the dome (thingy) in the front of the bag (sorry, I don't know the official name) is the wrong shape too...See how it's kinda squarish where the curves should be??? I can't explain it any better then that. Unless it's really an authentic...but a "factory second" and it was rejected for the reasons listed above. I would have thought Balenciaga would destroy all their "seconds". When you buy stuff from a "sample sale" they should be perfect samples that were used as a demo to machinists and buyers and sometimes from catalogue shoots, but this is very rare...

misters2025 · Dec 3rd, 2007, 09:55 PM

hello! just wondering if anyone has had experience with vogueacces.com - is it a legit site? and how about the balenciaga bags they sell?

thanks!

Hi Tall One just to add on to what maggien and nicole wrote. I have been watching the eBay for balenciaga and found that hgbags has the best price for balenciaga bags in ebay!! I have already brought 3 balenciaga bags from her and found her to be very friendly and reliable. I live in Perth Australia and received the bags in less than 1 week! Good luck with your 1st and I am sure it will not be your last!!!

See? Kind of square-ish dome thing on the front of the bag and these buckles are sooo very wrong. Not even a Balenciaga sample bag run would use these shaped buckles. Balenciaga have not used these particular buckles on any styles to date...So very wrong...

Bella · Dec 3rd, 2007, 10:26 PM

Regarding this black box....... I am actually quite surprised at the quality of this bag. If the buckles weren't so obvious it would be quite scary actually. In my opinion the buckles are the standout, didn't verify the numbers on the tag, maybe someone will comment on that.....but with the pics provided the leather and overall look of the bag......I had to take a second look.
