Hello,
I’m new here and just purchased a vintage Balenciaga city. It looks pretty real but I got such a great deal on it that I’m second guessing it now. The leather feels soft and slouchy, but a little dry and has some stains. All the stitching looks straight and the edges are all clean and sealed with edge coat even the trim. The zippers are all lampos even the interior pocket. The stitching on the tag is black and straight. It has a mirror and leather tassels, I just removed them to clean and condition them. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated 😊
Thank you!

Not authentic, sorry.

Thank you! Can I ask what makes it a fake? So I can make sure I don’t make the same mistake again 😞

We ask for several key points: the front and back of the tag, the back of the zipper head, the bale and the rivet. All are inconsistent with an authentic bag. As are other details in the construction itself.

What I see looks good, although I'd like a clearer pic of the tag back.

Thank you for the quick reply! I have asked the seller to send me one more photo. They readily agreed. I'll post it here when they send it to me.

Thank you!

My pleasure.

Does this one look authentic? It looks a bit rough. I’m so worried about getting another fake 😞

A little rough but authentic and collectable.

That is NOT a clear pic of the tag. I'd say you're good.
