hmm, this bag looks off to me - can you get a clear pic of the back of the tag and the bale? the hardware looks wrong to me and that metal tag seems faked

MY QUESTION IS... in looking at the auction photos....Does BAL really have BALES that look like this??

nicole2730 · Dec 11th, 2008, 07:13 PM

why don't you ask her what her tPF ID is? just because someone says they are a member (or even if they ARE a member) doesn't make a bag authentic.
also, did you note that the bag has been redyed? so it isn't the original pistachio color... just an FYI, sometimes in our excitement we don't always read the fine print

I know.. I have auth bags w/ bales & this one looks really wrong... from that angle anyway.

Pinkisweets · Dec 11th, 2008, 07:35 PM

yes in my excitment I didnt read the bag is dyed!
In your experience does redying change the color on bbags VERY MUCH?
I have no experience with dyed bbags.
I was soo excited and pressed BIN too hastily, it was my bad.

But my main concern now is if the bag is real or not!
And yes I know that it does not mean a thing if someone writes "tpf forum member" in their auction, I just wanted to ask if you or any other tpfer here know her maybe, would feel safer if its a tpfer with many posts for example! =)

But even that would not guarantee authenticity I know that :)

I asked her for her tpf nick of course, still waiting for her reply and hopefully more pics.
