eBay: 100% Authentic!!! Balenciaga Shoulder Bag (item 220066957479 end time Jan-05-07 18:51:43 PST)
Anyway, there was a small thread on it, about 3 people. I decided (SINCE NO ONE HAD BID ON THE ITEM) that I would inquire about a price to end auction.
She agreed and sold me the purse (I was told previously that there is NOTHING unethical about this as long as NO BIDS have been placed)
Anyway, i get the purse an it is OBVIOUSLY AN AUTHENTIC BALENCIAGA. It is a flap bag, pretty dirty, some small stains, BUT I LOVE IT!! The leather feels SO LIGHT, CRINKLY. The color is a gorgeous off white with BEAUTIFUL PEWTER HARDWARE!! But her ad in EBAY says the bag is "One year old" I questioned her on that, because I knew the bag was older, but I knew she knew NOTHING REALLY ABOUT BALENCIAGA BAGS!
After about (3) emails back and forth (she is always on a blackberry) She tells me that last year, she was doing a "runway" shoot and that bag was included in one of her outfits. She then said that she told the designer, Nicholas, how much she liked the bag and that after the show he came up to her and gave it to her!!!
I was in shock!!! I emailed back "You are a model and he GAVE you that purse"
Her response "No big deal, that's how most models get their shoes and purses. You tell the designer you like them and they give them to you.
Also, the designer, Nicholas, was very quiet and shy; not what I expected."
When I got the handbag, it all made sense. No dustbag,no extra tassel, NOTHING. And honestly, you could tell the bag had not been carried much, but no thought had been give to keep it stored somewhere clean.(by the way, asked her to mail pic of self with the bag, SHE IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!)
I am going to send it to Barbara to for a good cleaning and moisturizing. HONESTLY, IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! THIS WAS MY LAST PURCHASE BEFORE I WENT ON MY PURSE BAN!!! i will DEFINITELY POST PICS AS SOON AS SHE GETS BACK
DOES ANYONE know anything about a white flap bag??? I have tried forever to post pics, but it says "too may mb or something like that and I don't know how to make pics smaller!" any advice would be much appreciated!!
thanks Julie
