I have just bought a second hand. A seller was guarantee that this bag is authentic but I’m not sure. Could you check for me please. I attached all pictures below.

Thank you.

Authentic in my opinion. Do you see the very round "O" at the end of the first line on the tag back? We see this on bags every so often (I have one myself) and they're on bags that have some characteristic that isn't "correct" for the season indicated on the tag. It can be style, hardware, colour...the best we can guess is that these bags were made for outlet. Quality is still the same, they're just not part of the general run of bags for whatever season they indicate.

Hi friends! I’ve been buying used Bals for 15 years and this one has me stumped. Seller claimed she purchased from BalNY many years ago.

No strap so can’t see bales. Rivets are consistent with 04. Tassels long gone. Lampo zips. Inside tag is leather, not silver, also consistent with earlier bags I think. Every once in a while we come across those with just leather tags, yes? Studs look a little shorter and squatter.

My main issue is the leather. I have a certain expectation of 04-05 leather. The top half of the bag feels consistent with that, albeit very used. The bottom half feels.....like pleather.

Am I missing something? I’ve included a pic of buckles next to my 04 marron twiggy. Thanks!

Not authentic, sorry.

@bellenuit to add to that, you will see leather tags on Firsts but they'll be very early bags, up until S/S 2003, and they would be either flat brass or pewter hardware. After that the classic First would have a silver tag with the season on it and would have pewter HW for F/W 2003 and S/S 2004, then switch to brass.

I'd really like to see close ups, can you please post your photos as full sized rather than thumbnails, we can't zoom in very well on the smaller pics.
