We need more detailed photos. I don’t know what color it thinks it is, and the leather and dimensions look off.

Look at the zipper head, it’s not authentic.

This seller has many Bbags for sale and She has also sold a lot these past weeks and all the reviews are positive.

What happens with Vinted verification service?

Of all the Bal's that seller has, I only see 1 that is (probably) authentic. Rest are fake.

Couldn’t see much on my iPhone, but on iPad yikes! Disturbing that they got a hold of a U season metal plate.

Might just be a pic from a legit bag!

Ooooh, hadn’t thought of that. I just couldn’t place the color in the metal plate photo. Doesn’t look like anything from U season. Then I thought it could be a J tag, but I still can’t place the color.

That reply would be enough for me to pass TBH.

I feel very embarrased but I must confess I finally got the bag, although the seller was a bit rude.

I think a beautiful vert menthe deserves a better mum and a better place to live.

I’m sorry, but I had to. I hope you forgive me.

Thank you very much for your help.

You all are the best.

It's a beautiful bag and yes, she deserves a better home!

Very sound advice. Noted and Thank you. I don't know what's a killer deal anymore! the bags have gone from $300-$500 a few years ago to $700-$1000 these days...

Sorry to chip in but I guess the price of the vintage bals has been increased lately. Including in my own country. If I try to buy from the reseller that sells other people bags they increased the price so much more. But i managed to find my black bal bag recently from a direct owner. It cost me $360. I Thank God for it. Plus the missing stud replacement cost me $35. So i guess finding vintage bal in my country is so much cheaper than in Europe & US

I'll chip in..I have a Bal bag I purchased when it was known as the 'motorcycle bag'..around 2005 ?..about 5 years ago the same stud fell off of mine...I took it to a local shoe maker (The bag was so old I did'nt want to take it to the boutique..Its trashed but I can't let it go I love it).
They replaced the stud with just a standard silver one and its not compromised the strength at all-I still load it with stuff.

Hi its okay its nice to hear your bag story. I am glad it worked well with the new stud. I am still having mine at the repair service. I am anxious and hope it can be finished soon. Cannot wait to aee the result
