Thanks! I just got it! Just wanted to ask. Is the leather supposed to sag like this? Seller said it’s a brand new never used bag. She had only kept it stuffed since buying it :smile:

Hard to say. Does it look at all like it’s been carried? Did she condition it to help soften it? Always unanswered questions when you’re buying pre-loved.

Hey girl! Hardware is pristine. No scratches on the studs or on the rivets or on the hooks. Handles And corners look new. Moreover, the seller swears that it’s brand new. But She didn’t condition it. It was quite stuffed though. I asked another seller who is selling the same model but used about 20 times in lambskin - and it was a lot more structured than my Chevre. She says the slouch is a function of Bal’s bags but I thought it’s over time and Not when it’s unused.

Colour in that pic looks totally different? Can you take a pic in outdoor light? If you want to repost your own pics now that you have the bag I can take another look to be sure it’s the same bag.

I don't see anything that would lead me to think the bag wasn't authentic. I can't explain why it's softened, the agneau bags are very shiny when new, maybe that coating helps to keep them stiffer, I really have no idea. We only have the seller's word and while I'm by no means saying she isn't honest we can't verify what she says either.
I've put the question out to a couple of the other authenticators on this thread to see if they have any input on the matter.

Aw thanks for confirming the bag is authentic! The leather isn’t very shiny as you would expect from a Chevre. It seems to be like a Hermes Chevre (without that shine, you speak of) vs the Bal Chevre. So I am quite confused as well. But let’s see what the others think!

Chevre isn't generally as shiny as the agneau bags. A duller shine IMO.
