Ummm This bag on Tradesy looks fake to me...:confused1:
I'm not an expert but the strap on this, plus a few other things make it look suspect..

If it is I want to report it but I'm not experienced enough to spot them like the gals here...
Anyone skilled at Bal think this is the real deal?

Dang! I wanted to buy it too. :( But.... Not if it's not authentic.

the necessary pics needed for authentication are not present- tag, rivet, etc
If you are interested in buying it you can post all those pics once you have them in the authentication thread

Same photo is listed on Shop Hers (under dollychic as seller)...I messaged her about it, she had 10" cut off the strap. Told her she needed to put that in her listing and she did on SH but obviously not on Tradesy. Hope this helps.

Thank you!

Actually that does help a lot! I do love the bag- I suppose I could work with the shorter strap.

Thanks again! :ty:

No worries...she said she's 5'3" if that helps. And please note that I'm not authenticating the bag, just giving you some info, I'm not qualified to say for certain if it's authentic! (She also said the total length of the strap is 31").

What with the pics on Tradesy it's impossible to tell if it's authentic; however she needs to edit her listing on something besides the altered strap: it's a Velo not a Veto!
