Hi balenciagers,
I recently bought a bbag but the mirror doesn't have the extra pocket on the back. Moreover, the bag weighs 0.5 lbs less than what's stated in the official website. It also weighs less than my city (i bought a work). Now I know one way to tell a fake from a real bag is that the real ones usually weigh much heavier due to the quality of leather and other materials. Any opinions?

Beginning this season, there mirror doesn't have a pocket.
Please post clear close up photos of the rivet, handles, front and back of the tag as well as a link to the listing if you bought it on-line and someone will be happy to help.:smile1:

Hi All,

Hope everyone's been well.

I found someone who wants to sell me their Balenciaga bag. From the pictures it looks okay, but one thing stands out to me.

The authenticity cards state it's from 2007, but there is another tag (from a store presumably) that states it's a red-bordeaux.

From my (limited) knowledge and scouring the reference pages here, there is no bordeaux for 2007, only for 2005.

Help?

Hi!

Newbie to the forum and new to b-bags. I like the older bags (06 and older) with regular hardware so I've been scouring *bay. Can anyone give opinions on this:
