So, is an atrocity like this worthy of reporting if the seller acknowledges that the bag is not authentic (and lists the bag as "Balenciaga style"?:

Good question. I'm not sure. I have seen other bags listed as "Balenciaga inspired" and I did not report. Curious to see what others say, maybe I should have.

Yes, I had noticed the same problem with this one, and was tempted to post the link here. You beat me to the punch!

As long as word 'Balenciaga' is visible we can report. I always do. When bag is 'inspired and has no 'Balenciaga' written -ebay won't deal with it.

Yes I saw the ''balenciaga style" bag this morning and reported it too.
It's very ugly to say the least

Why do you think it's a fake one? I believe it's not enough clear pictures to say that.

Stitching on top of the tag is red thread, not black (7th pic)

wow, you're right. that's very scary since the bag looks pretty authentic.

ladies, maybe we shouldn't say why a bag isn't authentic. if someone questions it, just send a private message?

who knows if the counterfeiters lurk here.

Good idea...we certainly don't want them getting any better! (I agree that otherwise the bag looks pretty authentic- weird they got a really obvious telltale characteristic wrong though...)
