Hello fellow Bal lovers
I came across this bag in a resale store. Unfortunately I live far away and can't go back but I can't stop thinking about this bag. It's a very reputable luxury resale shop but I am uncertain about the short tassels on the front and the leather piece on top of the strap felt thinner than my current b-bag.
Looks like a 2006 bleu roi
Thoughts?? Is it authentic? View attachment 4916450View attachment 4916452View attachment 4916453View attachment 4916454View attachment 4916455Thank you!!

Authentic in my opinion. Do you see the "O" at the end of the first line on the tag back? We think that indicates an outlet bag. Basically all of the bags that we see with the "O" are produced with some anomaly for the year indicated on the tag. This bag indicates F/W 2018. While I don't have colour charts for that year I do know that rouge cardinale, the colour of this bag, was produced in 2013. I have an "O" bag myself, and it was made in a leather that hadn't been used for many years, as well as with hardware that didn't coincide with the season on the tag. But it's unquestionably authentic.

Throwing my 5 cents in, one of the anomaly muchstuff mentioned is the style of the tag, Y-tags shall be of the different size and shape, yours has an old type, which is consistent for outlet bags, just keep it in mine for your own ref ;)

Wow I was not expecting that but I guess there's a reason I thought I needed to ask here. A bit of an eye opener as this shop guarantees authentication. Thanks for saving my debt load!

The easiest thing to show you would be the tag back. Compare it to an 06 authentic tag and it's very easy to see the differences. There are other markers too.
