They still are not enough, ask for the rivets (back side of the studs on the handles) and back side of the zipper head, and back side of the leather tag where "made in Italy" stamp should be

Thank you. I have asked for these specific parts and here is what I have received.

Thanks for the tag photo, from what i can see, it looks off to me.
You can wait for a more experienced opinion, but i think it's not authentic, sorry

I agree with Ksuromax. (K, if you look at post 3959, fourth pic, you can also see the rivet is wrong).

Item name: Balenciaga Papier Tote

Hi,

O bought this bag but now I don't think that it is authentic... could you please help me?

I'm not at all an expert on the Papier line but the tag does look pretty sloppy to me. Can you post a pic of the back of the zipper head, the front of the interior tag, and are there rivets holding the strap buckles on? If so a pic there too please. Anyone else care to weigh in?

Thank you so much for your reply! I find it very sloppy as well!

Here are the pics! Thank you again!View attachment 3597176

I simply don't have enough knowledge of the style. I have one Papier, the drop bucket, rivets are smooth like yours and the tag front on yours looks good to me. My zipper is a riri zipper but I don't know if anything on that line changed from year to year. Hopefully someone else will chime in, sorry!

Thank you so much! Hopefully someone will be able to help. I've been so nervous because of this !

One more point, unless the tassels were caught in a door or something, they would never be finished that way at the ends. I know someone who is pretty good on the Papier line, I'll reach out.

Yes, absolutely.
Thank you for your input

And the same to you for yours!

Hello ladies,

I just want to comment on the Papier tote.

I must agree that the front of the tag looks pretty good. My Papier comes with smooth zipper too. As for the tassel, i agree with Much that it must been some "mishap" or cut before. And from the tag, this Papier tote produced before 2012, if not, it will have the "Alphabet" at the back of the tag.

My main concern is the numbers on the back of the tag. All my earlier Papier bags carry the same set of number other than "613245". And from your photo, i can't tell exactly what model is your Papier, thus, i can't telly with the model number too.

Do you happen to have any paper tag?
