A link to the listing in question is required.

It is an authenticator’s right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format. If the listing you are interested in is missing photos it is your responsibility to request them from the seller prior to posting in this thread.

Thanks and be well!
 
Hi loves, do you think you can authenticate this for me?

Item Name: BALENCIAGA Leather Classic Town Crossbody Satchel Handbag
Seller: aditya09
Item: 152245353657
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/152245353657?_trksid=p2054502.m570.l5999&_trkparms=gh1g=I152245353657.N36.S1.R2.TR6

There are several photos missing for authentication.
Back of the serial tag, proper angle of the front plate, rivet, good angle of the bale.

I do want you to note: The listing title is for a "TOWN" The seller posts in the listing the auction is for a "CITY" but that bag is a FIRST so there's a lot of inconsistencies there.
 

Hi Whateve,

That would be a Club or Classic Club, same thing...
The color is a little difficult for me but is likely Poupre, but could be Sanguine- Where's Saira when we need her. :heart:
The more I look at it the more sure I am it's Poupre..

If you look at the swatches on this link for 2009 you can see the colors & decide which is most resembles.

I don't see any red flags, it all looks good but wait for a more experienced authenticator to verify because I'm not as confident with this style bag as I am with others. :smile:

Thank you so much! I've been worried for a week! It looks closer to Sanguine in real life. It's like a dark raspberry, almost burgundy, but pinker.

You're welcome.. :heart:
Isn't that funny (here I was sure it was Poupre lol)- that's why I posted the link to the swatches- the colors always look just a wee bit different IRL. The red shades are usually the toughest for me.
It's a beauty and in very nice shape for a '09 too! :smile:

Hi PikaboICU,
It looks just like this one, which is poupre, so I think you're right.

I had never heard of this style. When I got it, I looked through hundreds of photos and couldn't find one like it. It's like the perfect style for me!
