Thank you so much for the prompt reply!

I've had a city giant before too and i noticed the leather of this one is different. It feels a little stiff so i wondered if it could had been redyed.

I don't think so. It could be a little dry, but with the right aconditioning products the leather will turn much better, smooth and fluffly. Try LMB ones, they're the best!:)
 
Great deal! Wondering if this is lagoon? Would you know? Congrats!

I'm not sure what color it's going to be! The receipt is from mid 2009 so I was thinking maybe turquoise or sky blue. It's just hard to tell from the pics. I'll be sure to update when I receive it.

Based on the price of the bag....it shouldn't be any of those 2008 colors It's might be 2009 blue layette but prices for those bags at the time in 2009 were still either $1495 or $1595. Who knows if it was sold in 2009 and was from old stock. that could happen too.

I think it is turquoise.
 
Please help authenticate this Balenciaga Work in black that I just received. I have never seen these tags or zippers before. Thank you! View attachment 3233313View attachment 3233314View attachment 3233315View attachment 3233316


I have this weekend to decide whether or not to keep this bag. Any thoughts regarding authenticity would be greatly appreciated.

The zipperhead with the "B" is the new style and it looks fine but you're missing a photo of the bale & of the entire bag.
Also if you could post a larger straight on, in focus shot of the front & back of the inner tag, with numbers in focus it would greatly help the gals here.
The rivet photo is good but might not be quite large enough. I know it's a pain to retake the photos but the authenticators need clear, in focus pics that are large enough to see specific details. :smile1:
 
Hello,

I just got my first chevre bag and was so excited because I believed that I had nabbed a 2005 Rouge Theatre in good condition. However, I'm now unsure because the stamp on the reverse of the silver tag seems a little high (i.e. not perfectly centered top to bottom ). Uploading some extra photos that wasn't on the ebay listing.

Hopefully, you can set my mind at ease because otherwise, I think the bag is great.

95% authentic but please, to confirm, post a clear closer pic of the rivet.

Hi I'm looking for help authenticating this Classic Black City Bag that I received from MyHabit. I ordered it before I read that they sell fake bags and now I am very concerned. I tried to go to Balenciaga and have them authenticate it but, they don't do that. Thank you so much for your help!
