Item Name : Balenciaga City 2012


Please help verify if this is an authenticated one and what's the name of this color. The bag is from year 2012. Thank you in advance.

I agree with redskater on this one - I don't like the rivets, and I also don't like how sloppy the end of the shoulder strap looks. These things are not usual for an authentic Balenciaga, but it may be that we haven't seen enough of the newer bags to know if Bal is getting this careless. However, I am not truly comfortable with it to be honest. Do you know where it was originally purchased?
 
Hello! I bought this Balen a while back. I am really confused about the edge of my bag:

The leather edge (do you call it a piping?) seems to end off and overlap each other at the base of the bag. However, I don't see it being the case for some other Bbags.

The stitching on the ends of the zippers are not nicely done too (they are more rounded than a rectangular shaped stitching? if you know what i mean):

Even the 'made in italy' looks weird, as if the i is missing the dot and t looks smaller than usual:

Help! Can I get a confirmation that these details are actually normal? Am I just being crazily paranoid? TIA!

If you are not sure if your bag is authentic, please post all of the required pictures noted in my signature. If you know it is an authentic Bal, you may want to post your question in the main forum for others to help. I have not had a bag with those particular issues, so it may be wise to post all the pictures for us to take a look.

Oh gosh I am so jittery. Here are the pictures you might need to authenticate it. Thank you SO MUCH:
