I bought a Balenciaga handbag from this seller Tiara's Collection (you can search it on Facebook)
https://www.facebook.com/Aber1969
last year through Facebook online selling. I returned the bag to the seller because it was non-genuine/counterfeit. I had it authenticated online by Luxury Authentication Australia and in person thru Royal Bag Spa in Melbourne Australia with same results - Fake/Counterfeit. This seller was so arrogant, until now she's 100 percent confident that her item was authentic. She refused to return/refund my money. I have the actual item with me. I have reported it to Japan Anti Fraud Organization and I was asked to provide some documents to prove my claim and I did.
The very reason why I am sharing this here is for awareness. This seller continue to Live Sell in Facebook. She is selling some high- end brand with poor knowledge. I don't want this to happen to anyone. Attached here are the certificates and the actual pictures of the handbag.
You can watch this video where she was asking a sales staff in a second hand shop in Japan if the handbag was real or not.

"Barely recommended..." Can't say the seller isn't warning you!
Regardless, this seller has been all over Ebay recently with a mix of (ratty) real and very bad fakes, like this one, so watch out!

Seriously?? This is not even a slightly convincing fake!

Just gambled and got burned by TRR's shoddy "authentication" process. I know some of y'all dislike the tri-color bags from Holiday 2009/2010, but I've always been fond of the boarskin/lambskin mix in the ciel/burgundy/gray/blue combo.
ANYWAY, at about 1am last week, I was trawling the interwebs and a tricolor Work popped up on TRR and I got excited as I rarely see these bags come up for sale. Now on TRR, the photos, as we know, are always less than ideal, so I pulled the trigger and took a shot that when it arrived it would be authentic and in the condition they described.
Sadly, it was not to be. The leather is all wrong *and* the color code is wrong. I'm so pissed off. Can anyone describe their experience with getting a refund on a fake bag from TRR?

Sometimes there are some tags with inconsistencies. I can be wrong but, the bag looks good to me..
Every tricolor bag I've ever seen (and I've been OCD on tracking them) has had boarskin trim. This one does not. Thoughts?
My thoughts is that this one is authentic. Having agneau trim doesn’t mean it’s not authentic imo. Let’s wait for more opinions..
No snap bale, as this is a Work with no strap, but here's the rest of the hardware, which looks good to me. My issue is with the leather and the color code.

I can’t comment on the boar leather but the details I see all look fine. As for the colour code, I see it’s off by one number. I’ll research a little more later today. But we’ve seen anomalies before.Here's an eBay listing for a City:

I've found a tri-colour Day bag that looks to be agneau all over but most of what I've seen is boar trim. A TPFer mentioned she saw them in Hong Kong and that the trim was calf, although I can't verify that obviously.I thank you greatly for your input.
So, as mentioned, it looks authentic to me. Regarding the colour code, no idea, maybe an error, maybe the non-boar were coded differently...
