Ah, Jira, I actually owe you a special thank you--after seeing photos of your Tomato Day in the red colors reference library a couple weeks, I knew Tomato was the right red for me. Fortuitously this one popped up a few days later. Yippee!

This is a terrible situation and I hope you work this out.

HandbagAngel, I'm an English teacher, so bear with my nit-picking: it's "bait and switch": they reel you in "BAIT" you with one thing, and then give you another. You have the concept correct, but it's BAIT, not BAIL. Now you'll hate me, I know, but am truly trying to be helpful :heart:

We all know what Handbag meant!! Back to topic, is the 2005 Black City starting at $1895 a fake, or did they just steal her pictures? (both listings have been removed now if I am not mistaken?)

To safely authenticate, we need clear, up close photos of the inside tag, both front and back, the bales (hardware at the end of the long strap) and a rivet (the back of the hardware that is holding the handles on).

Also, I'm not sure why, but there is something about the leather on this bag that seems odd. I am not saying it isn't authentic, just that I'd not recommend bidding without more and better photos. :confused1:

Please see the response above. This bag needs far more than one photo, in order to be comfortable with its authenticity.

Black is the most common Balenciaga to be counterfeited. This particular one raises many concerns. Please ask for more photos; clear straight on photos of the inside tag, front and back, the hardware at the end of the long strap, as well as the back of a rivet holding on the handles.
