Hello! Can someone please help me authenticate a Balenciaga bag. The seller says the bag was bought in 2012 which matches the color Kraft, but I can’t find clear pictures of that anywhere. The back of the mirror doesn’t have a card slot so it’s from 2008. She says the original price was around 1500€. Should I buy it? It looks real to me. Thank you for your time!IMG_3868.jpegIMG_3866.jpegIMG_3864.jpegIMG_3865.jpeg

It would be from F/W 08 to F/W 2010 by the tag. Could be a faded 09 granny.

Something about the evenness and texture of the color looks off. When i zoom in on some studs, the base looks like it’s picked up some dye. But I also could be imagining the whole thing. Nuage has long been on my search list and this looks too good to be true.

Could it just be a pretty minty nuage? I can’t tell from the pics, I can’t really see anything on the stud, would be nice to have an outdoor pic.

ok i’m looking at this stud and I see what you mean but I’m still not sure. when you zoom in everything blurs. but the stitching is a slightly darker shade and that wouldn’t happen if it was painted.

this stitching doesn’t look painted to me.

Yes I’m sorry that’s what I meant, that it matches her description that it was bought later that 2008. So should I buy? What do we think?

It is difficult to say whether or not you should buy. We don’t know the price, nor what you need in a bag.
As for me, based on the fading and the mark right on the front, I would pass, no matter what the price.

The seller has it listed for 400€ due to the state of the bag maybe I can get it for 200 if the seller agrees, I won’t go for more than that. I was thinking of dying it a darker color maybe idk. I just don’t know if it’s authentic.
