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.
So, as mentioned, it looks authentic to me. Regarding the colour code, no idea, maybe an error, maybe the non-boar were coded differently... :hrmm:

Thanks again for your research and for chiming in. The bottom line for me is that if I'd had the appropriate information up front, i.e., better pictures showing the leather detail and photos of the interior and tag, I would not have purchased this bag. For me, it lacks the characteristics that would make this a bag I'd want in my collection. :sad:

Fair enough, let us know how you make out with TRR.

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?

Looks like they got your return and it's back up for sale:

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.

Thanks for mentioning Royal Bag Spa. I've was trying to find somewhere local to help me with a preloved Hermes bag I bought on Vestiaire. I'm worried it isn't authentic too.

Hi all - I just bought this rose gold G12 on TRR and now I’m paranoid. I’m newer to B bags so I’m not confident about spotting fakes, but I thought TRR had an authentication process. I haven’t actually received it yet and I can get a closer look when I do.

You should post requested pics at the authentication thread when it arrives to you but looks right to me.
