Please help authenticate - everything appears to be consistent with the one I looked at in the boutique last week. The look, weight, and feel all seem good to me but I’m not a brand expert.

Due to the nature of the bag, getting a clear picture of the underside of the zipper is impossible with my phone without damaging the crystals by turning it inside out. There’s a mirrored capital “B” logo on the underside of the zipper.

Please wait for actual experts to weigh in, but a few details I see are right for this style. I don't know about all of the details, so hand in for other opinions.

Item Name (if you know it): Balenciaga First Classic Studs Soft Leather Bag 103208.213048

Hmm, Poshmark won't let me save the photos as a supported file to post here. If the link isn't good enough, I'll take (GOOD) photos when this arrives. I'm blaming my twitchy trigger finger on this one - if it's not real, I only have myself to blame. Don't even know what color this could be with an A tag...:panic:

Cautiously optimistic but I'd like to see better pics.

From the pics I see nothing is jumping out, but post the bag when you get it. Color looks to be faded black.

It's arrived! All rivets are not notched (I understand that there may be one offs since the notched rivets began in 2005?) and the tassels have split. Keeping my fingers crossed here as the color isn't bad at all! The leather is plush but wondering if it's chevre or agneau?

If this one pans out, you are going to have multiple options to see Barbie and can go rewatch it with another bag! LOL! I get to see it tomorrow and have heard great things.

Looks good! S/S 2005 was a mix of notched and unnotched rivets. And yes, it's chevre!
