Hi

Hi, Could someone kindly authenticate this for me? I have some concerns about its authenticity.

I have two other preloved Balenciaga bags and the leather smelled wonderful for both those bags. This bag really does not have a smell at all if anything maybe a little plastic.

This leather also seems very stiff and dry compared to the two other bags I have. The two other preloved bags are 2012 giant 12 hardware. I'm not sure if this is just a bag that needs conditioning or if it's inauthentic.

I also thought that the 2012 bags have leather tags that have a letter on the back? This one does not have a letter so I'm a little concerned.

Also, I'm aware that I got this bag for a very good price, maybe too good to be true?

If it is authentic, can someone tell me what year and season it was made? Any guesses about the color of the leather?

Also I'm not sure if this is rose gold Hardware or regular gold. I'm not sure if the giant 12 gold color has an antique finish that is easily mistaken with rose gold? Or if there's a more clear-cut distinction between gold giant 12 hardware and rose gold giant 12 hardware?

Thank you SO much for your help!!!

The style code is for a classic pouch, not a City small.

Dear all, I bought an unknown model of an Balenciaga bag and would be happy about authentication help!

The leather is super soft as if it only can be authentic!!, the quality and dust bag and the logo seem totally authentic to me too but I couldn’t find the serial number when googling it and the lampo zipper looks different. ( but I think that is because they used a smaller zipper than in the city bags?)

Thanks for your help!
