It is an authenticator’s right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format. If the listing you are interested in is missing photos it is your responsibility to request them from the seller prior to posting in this thread.

it's not a City, it's a Town (it's smaller) and it's authentic in my opinion

Did a little research, it appears to be a F/W 2011 metallic purple, colour's not on our colour charts.

Thank you for your time. That’s actually my concern as well when i saw the bag, because with my research (well basic authenticate research) Balenciaga moto doesn’t have a shiny leather. Anyway, doesnit means this is rare and authentic? Thank you

I don’t know if I would say rare, rather I would say it was made for one season, as many colours are. Bal made other metallics as well in various other seasons. I will admit to not seeing this one in my travels but it can depend on what market it was made for. And yes, as @ksuromax has said, it is authentic.

Hi again, I am just curious, i dont know if this is the right forum to ask. because i see alot of Bal bag online that almost have exact hardware and leather and looks really authentic! just the missing part is the Black stitching on the upper part of the label. Is that means it’s fake? Or there are designs by Bal not using black stitching? Thank you so much!

Not all styles have the black stitching at the top of the label. Just as an FYI, there are some excellent fakes out there!
