I have a concern there's too much shine and the bag isn't soft to the touch. I have other leather bags and lambskin leather jackets but this feels more stiff.

Hello, i really don't see anything wrong with your bag. I must say that since, & starting from S/S2012, Balenciaga use more gloss to treat the bag & the quality was not as good since. Personally, i'm not a fan of those from 2012 (im only talking about the moto range).

I ve owned Balenciaga bags from 2001 till 2015, just to feel the leather, study the features, tohelp in my authentication. Thus, if you are feeling uneasy about the leather as it's different from your 2006, i must say it's perfectly normal.

You can always go for paid service if you feel better ;)

Stefanie, for what it's worth I agree with PeaceBabe.:tup:
Your bag looks genuine to me for a newer Bal model, gloss and all. Many of the details with your bag are quite normal for the newer styles- 2012 & forward. :smile1:
You can always get paid authentication as PeaceBabe mentioned. It's affordable $7-$10. or so. Authenticate4U is very good.

I'm not PeaceBabe but I tried to send you a PM this morning- I think you need to have 10 posts for it to work. There may also be a minimum time rule too (be a member 30 days or something) but I can't recall for sure.

About carinagucci's post about Japan_Monoshare's giant greys (291655305732) bag

I was looking at this bag on ebay, and then when I was looking through japan_monoshare's feedback (while searching for "balenciaga" in their FB), I swear I saw this exact same purse, same photos and all, in their feedback.

Maybe it was returned and relisted, but that seemed weird to me. I know they sell a HUGE amount of stock and maybe just got lazy and used the same photos for a different bag, but I don't know. Is that common for sellers with that much stock, or a red flag?
