Hmm the tag looks like the one that was deemed fake

The the braiding, the nubuck, the ostrich trim, and the overall quality of the leather and raffia looks so good from the pics!

I don’t think it’s fake.

I don’t think it’s fake.

I'm holding my breath! Thank you!

I'm holding my breath! Thank you!

I suspect it's authentic, I may have been wrong about the one I said was fake, but the font on the tags is different than any other that I've seen.

This is kind of nifty if it’s real.

I may have been wrong, it may be authentic. The tags are consistent with other bags I've looked at, but on the whole the font is different from any other Bals I know of. More research needed.

I just got it! I'm okay with this risk and am super excited about it. I prefer the beige/straw color but that one was a sold one from a whole awhile ago. I crawled through the raffia posts and it looks like 2010 resort had a lot of raffia totes, so this probably came a little later!

Thank you both!!

When I was looking up the raffia Patrick trim last night I found this one that is the same in style but different in material. For reference.

The quality of the tag is exactly like what will be now mine, and the difference in the one digit between the 6 and 7 of the style number seems consistent between the three bags.

Haha but I highly doubt the bag was 55k new so bargain if you must,!

Thing is, I can’t find a single reference on TPF regarding these bags which is a bit of a mystery.

I agree with this. When I said the tag looks off, it was because of the font. But all the other bags from this line I've seen have this same "off" font.

I don't know if there is enough here to authenticate and I have never seen this style before. It looks real and the leather looks austrich. I am loving this bag!

I just don't get why there's no mention that I can find on the forum.

Yeah I agree! It's strange they're all popping up now with no history that can be found in tpf or elsewhere!

I'm asking the seller now where and when she got the bag

 

[platinum_babie]

Okay so she said she bought it around 2017/2018 in Capri for 900 Eur. It was not directly from Balenciaga, but a store that had a lot of the name brands sold at a discount....(it sounds like tj Maxx of sorts?). There definitely were a lot of raffia totes during 2017 resort collection, but I don't think this is from that. She said she doesn't remember the name of the store but she's sure it's real...
