[Vlad]

IMPORTANT READ-ME

Please see post #1 for complete Balenciaga authentication rules. All requests must be posted in this thread. Authentications are not done via private message or in any other thread.

See the link below for examples of the photos needed and the format they should be in (clear, close up, forward-facing, no angles, right way up, no bends in tags).

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/required-pics-for-balenciaga-authentication.741442/

A link to the listing in question is required.

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.

Thanks and be well!

As mentioned I can't really comment on that, whether it's a flaw or damage the photo's not good enough to say. Bags weren't always perfect, that bag appears to be an apple green from 2005 and there were more anomalies back then.

Thank you!

My pleasure!

You're missing pics of the tag back, the rivet and the bale. Part of the strap appears not to be the original, that flat stud doesn't belong, I can't see enough of the rest to comment. It's not a City small, it's a regular size, from 2008 by the tag front. Please post all pics when you receive the bag and we'll take another look. Aside from the strap nothing seems out of place but I'd prefer to see all the photos needed.

Thank you so much. I will definitely post all the pictures. Hmmm the seller gave me dimensions and it seems like it’s the small size but will definitely know when I receive the bag.

Style code on the tag shows it to be a regular size. Bal didn't make the City small back then.

Ok amazing! I think you’re right. Because the seller said it’s the classic city. But then the dimensions she gave me were ones like the small city . I think she may have written down the wrong dimensions.

Hello again everyone, hi @muchstuff,

please find below more pics from the City bag. Seller said it was bought 4/5 years ago.

Thanks in advance,
and have a nice day!

If she bought it 4-5 years ago, then she is definitely NOT the first hand owner, because this bag is from SS 2009 collection.
And in my opinion it's authentic

Thank you for your quick reply @ksuromax, I just bought it, can’t wait to receive it!

in 2010 when Bal first introduced Rose Gold hw there was NO Lampo stamp, so your bag is consistent for that time
it's Authentic
