Where did you get it? Was it authenticated if you bought it preloved and not directly from a Bal retailer? If you're concerned about it being fake, you'll want to get an authentication service to check it out.

I have had it professionally authenticated and at first it was told as authentic, but when I noticed the stitches, showed photo and asked again, it was told as nonauthentic. I can believe there may be manufacturing faults, that's why I am asking to share other opinions.

Hi @alla.miss !

As promised, here are the close-up pix of my two ME Cities.

Starting with my 2014 with the original yellow gold hardware...

These here are of my 2015 with the silver hardware. Sorry if the stitches in these pix are hard to see. It is really difficult to photograph these stitches under the yellow light in my bedroom. The glazing makes everything so shiny.

No need for thanks. I was once in your position with my 03 Black PH First so I know what it feels like.

But don't fret yet. It may just be that the strap got replaced and the bag itself is genuine.

You should get on to the Authentication Thread for more help.

Dear SilverStCloud, thank you for taking time and making these all pics for me!
Now mine looks very disappointing to me:sad:

The uneven stitching is the only feature of the bag that bothers, other features show an authentic bag, but the seller told me she didn't do anything with the strap.

Yes but SilverStCloud's 2014 strap isn't perfect...and if she knows hers is authenticate for certain, doesn't that mean yours could be too? Sorry, I don't remember, did you have the gals here look at it yet?
