I just got this B Hobo Ink Bag from eBay and it did not come with the original tassells- but she ordered black ones from the B store and is sending it to me ( i bought from her before so I dont think she is lying- i hope) but she said this is a 2006 ink and that color has been retired and ink tassells are no longer avail- thats why she got me the black instead- BUT I want to get your opinion if you think this is real or not. Pls review and advise. i just love it, and i hope it is.... thanks.

If you have the bag in your possession, can you get some clear close photos of the inside tag, front and back as well as a close up of one of the rivets? It looks good, but the limitations of what is in the photos makes it hard to authenticate.

As far as the tassels....Those of us who buy used bags are all being made crazy with tassels. Up until a short time ago, most of us ordered past season tassels from Balenciaga N.Y. Now they seem to have a blanket policy that unless you've purchased from their store, they won't provide them. I'm not sure how hard and fast that rule is. I am sure ink colored tassels can be had, even if they have to wait a while for them to come in, by someone who's purchased an ink bag from a Balenciaga boutique.

Wish I had better news.

It can't hurt to post of photo of the zipper ears or lengths as well.

IMO the rivets look really fake on this bag and i've never seen the zipper pull away like that from the thread part...
do you have this bag in your possession? please take pics of the rivets and post
:sad:

I had emailed this seller about this bag...when I told her I wanted more pic's to post to tPF she quickly told me it was sold, but then I saw it relisted on ebay...it was kinda shady and I know some other tPF'ers got the same vibe (if you go back in the authenticate thread you'll see it)

anyway, I hope its real...good luck:smile1:
