Hi. Please help me authenticate this bag before I get it shipped from Japan. I’m having a hard time looking for something similar with it. It’s so cute though. The seller said she had the butterfly sewn on the bag and not originally part of the bag. Thank you!8CE60982-642D-463D-B1C1-5AA86F33755B.jpegD96FB661-A906-4114-A2DA-AB5776A5505F.jpeg75B1B78E-34B5-44E8-9FE6-465E75B91484.jpeg55BDF954-392D-4899-92F7-0EDB452AC3F4.jpeg42BDCA00-074A-42F1-9221-13A6C52E6B4C.jpeg

in my opinion the bag is authentic, but the stain on the bottom makes me think that the butterfly is there for a reason.
if you like it that way and will keep as is, then you're good to go, but if you think of removing it be prepared to see something that it might be potentially covering up

Seller: The RealReal
Thanks!!

FYI, this is NOT a City, it's a RTT

Hello,

so sorry for the pictures, I tried to explain it to the seller as best as I could but I know it’s not very good quality… ☹️

Here are the other pictures I could get. Hope it’s enough to authenticate. If not, really sorry for bothering you

Thanks anyway for what you’re doing, it’s really nice of you I think

Hi,

Can I please get your opinion on this Work? The handles feel thinner and stiffer than they should be and the bag itself feels heavier than my other giant Works. Thanks for your help!

Item Name: Giant Silver Work
Item Number: N/A
Seller ID: larakes

Anywhere between 2005-2010/11. Have not purchased any Bals newer than 2012. I visually cannot see anything wrong with this one even compared to my 2010 GSH Work side by side. The only difference is the stiff handle, reminds me of a fake Weekender that I accidently bought on ebay and had to return.

I can upload a photo of the zipper head once I get home. Any other features I can provide?
