Hi ladies I'm hoping someone can help me, I just purchased a preloved black city with rh. I got it authenticated and was almost certain it was authentic. However, it only has one interior pocket (zipped) is this normal? I have seen some with 2 on one side and one zipped on the other, is this something they have changed by adding more pockets?

My city only has one interior zipped pocket. I only have had two Bal's that have had more than one pocket. One was a 2013 Maxi Twiggy and the other was like a 2011 or 2012 Day (I forget the year).

I think only the newer bags come with the slip pockets, I'm not sure if the new City's have them. What year is yours?

Mine is 2009 I saw one form 2007 that only has one pocket as well..:shrugs:
 
Correct .. the 'original' B-Bags only had the zippered compartment. Balenciaga later added the 2 pockets in the front; nice addition .. wish they had done it sooner!
 
Hey everyone
I thought I'd post up a pic of my FRONT pocket - 2005 Black City S/S... I'm not 100% sure when BBag started putting the leather bit in the pocket... I had an 06 Black City back in the day and I think it had the leather bit in the front pocket.
Anyone else wanna share some pics?
Just thought it would be helpful :smile:

Is it authentic if it does not have that leather bit in the front pocket? I just bought this from ebay and seller claimed that it was authenticated by My Poupette. I was planning of dyeing it and give it to my mom. Any opinion will help.

The leather in the front pocket started in F/W 2005. If you'd like a tPF authentication you can post on the AT thread with the correct photos, see links below.
