One more photo, this time of a metal tag. My question is: There's a marking in the right hand lower corner of the tag. Is this common with City:s or could it mean the bag is fake? I haven't taken this picture myself and can't right now get a better version of the tag to post, but hopefully I'll be able to soon, as well as pictures of the whole bag (a Cognac 2006). The tag got me wondering since I just read a bit on a website about metal tags and they showed a fake with some kind of marking in the lower right corner of the metal tag.

The 925 mark on the lower right hand corner is a silver mark and should be there on the early bags, the tags were actually made of silver.

Thank you muchstuff! I've found a 2006 Cognac Classic City and as the price is good and it looks to be in nice shape, I don't know if I can resist. I love the colour cognac. "Balenciaga - Resistance is Futile" should be this forum's real name...:smile:

I will try to get a better picture of the make-up case tag right now and I assume it's the front of the leather tag you mean, where it says "BALENCIAGA PARIS"?.

Just remember that the 925 silver mark is seen on fakes as well!

Ah! Happy dance! :idea: muchstuff!

The website I bought it from seems very reputable and the make-up bag was in even better condition than I was hoping for, so very glad about this bag. And getting a second opinion here on the authentication thread makes it even better.

Now the gates are opened :nuts: I've just bought a Classic City from 2005 in Cognac from the same store :smile:
