#1 - Authentic
#2 - Authentic

These two bags are from a well-respected seller of authentic Balenciaga

#3 - looks good, BUT, ask for a clear shot of the front and bag of the silver tag, the rivets and the bales. You might also ask if they still have the tags, extra tassels (and maybe dustbag??) I have a bit of an issue with this seller as I have written them twice with questions about a bag and have never gotten an answer. That for me is a no-no, but perhaps someone else has had a different experience.

Good luck!

1) authentic plomb flat messenger
2) authentic blue flat messenger

as MAGGIEN said, this seller is well respected and i have bought many gorgeous bags from her as well

3) authentic 06 city - i do not know what color this bag is. it could be blueberry, i really don't think it's ink, but the pics are not the best. unlike MAGG's experience, i have had great communication from this seller - keep trying! the bag is authentic and from my experience, the seller is very accomodating to requests.

good luck

this looks like an authentic pony shoulder - i would get a clear pic of the back of tag and a better pic of the clip that reads BALENCIAGA on it before bidding/buying. i know the price makes it look like a steal, but NOT if it's a fake.

hmm, that is a judgement call - if they have the gift receipt, which would be for full price, wouldnt' they just return it themselves??? personally, i would pass. i don't have any experience with this seller - if i knew them or had bought from them before, i wouldn't have a problem. but their response to you is fishy, in my opinion. maybe someone else has experience with this seller?????
