Hello!
This bag just arrived from Vestiaire Collective.
I'd like to get this bag authenticated, because I know Vestiaire isn't the greatest fake spotter and I've heard such horror stories about them. So I'd like to have some extra peace of mind before totally falling in love with the bag :biggrin:
I'm also uploading my own photos of the bag.
TIA! :flowers:

Item Name: Balenciaga City Leather Handbag
Item #: 3400891
Seller I.D.: Vincent

Hello, photos are good now. Looks fine. No red flag. I don't know which year City you've owned. But the newer leather, IMO, not as good as those 2012 & before

The one I own is also 2015 but in black. What do you think about the grout around the edge of the bag. I looked different photos about this color and it should be the most same color with the bag. Mine is almost black I think, but the bag is 2015 bleu obscular. I just know the seller I bought has bad reputation as well (UnderShop) but 100% positive rating on eBay!

Hello. I just purchased this bag from a popular reseller site, and there are a few details that give me pause. In addition to some of the details that look off to me, my biggest concern was that I didn't think there was a dark brown produced with a 'C' tag. I know that with some of the older bags, abnormalities could occur with certain markings, etc., so I just wanted to get an expert opinion. I would greatly appreciate if you could give me your opinion on this bag. Thank you, I really appreciate your assistance:smile:

Hi again..
what do you think about the color of edging. It is almost black but my bag is navy. I understand their color should be matched. Thank you!

Hello, sometimes having the bag in possession makes authentication much easier. My suggestion is, since you can feel the bag, and you don't feel good about it, return it.

Hi Peacebabe,

Thanks so much for your help.

I haven't got a chance to go to my local store here in Jakarta. But I really wish that Balenciaga made this version of ME

Gonna check this weekend and keep this forum updated.

Ladies, please help if you have any info regarding to my issue.

Thank you!

Hello.. Can I know where you buy it from? I'm also from Indonesia and by knowing the store you're buying from, I can be more aware..

Side note : Balenciaga did make the lambskin metalkic edge on holiday collection for 2016, but I only saw the mini city version and the leather ws quite different from yours (?) I'm not sure about the leather of yours since the mini city and classic city lambskin leather looks quite different.
