Item Name: Balenciaga Womens Agneau Giant Town Bag Handbag Shoulder Bag Blue Leather Gold
Item Number: 364021776726
Seller ID: luxecollectivefashion

I just received this bag today, but I am not sure whether it is genuine when I compare it to my town purchased in 2011. I don't know whether the difference are due to changes made over the years, or a sign of a counterfeit product. I've attached some pictures for additional verification.

The thing that straight of all got me thinking is the strap. My Militaire Town strap is not adjustable. This one has a strange way of being able to shortened/lengthened by a few CM and the leather on one side feels 'lifted'. If its as if its peeled away from the base surface and moves around when you touch it. The leather on my existing bal is smooth and firm. Additionally, the clips to attach to the bag feel very light and almost flimsy. The stitching seems a lot larger and less 'refined' and the printing on the inside label is different. The undersides of the zips again are not the same. This could all be just the difference between production years, but I would very much appreciate a second option. Thank you.

Edited to include reverse of label
