I'm sorry. I do agree that this bag is "off." Not glaring inconsistencies, but the devil is in the details, and these details are wrong.

Hopefully Conni can chime in her 2 cents!

If it's for sure non-authentic I will see about returning it. If I can't, do I dispute with PayPal, or straight with my CC company? I've never had to that before so I have no clue what to do! I'm so disappointed. [emoji20]

I suppose that's what I get for being greedy and wanting too many at one time! [emoji53]

No, most of us want too many bags. :sad: I'd check out the Ebay thread here on the PF, but I'm guessing Paypal first, then cc company. Don't take my word for it, check with the girls on the Ebay thread. There are experts there. Good luck!

Hi authenticators,
Can I please ask for your help again to authenticate my Work G21 ( I think). I can't get the number on the tag very clear so if you need more pictures let me know. But it says 173080 1669

Thanks in advanced!

I'm not familiar with this iteration of the Town, but I or someone more experienced with this style, might be more help if you can upload better photos. We'd need close, clear photos of bale at the correct angle, a closer rivet pic, and most importantly, a shot of the back of the tag that includes the bottom line.

Wheeee!! REALLY!!!! .....ThanX Connie:smile:
Because I got a little bit worried when I saw the bag in real, the leather is not that slouchy :sad:. I'm also not sure about the year, the shop said they think it's from 2007.

Hi! I'm new to this so I was wondering if you could help me authenticate this bag that I've had for a couple of years.
I tried looking as much here for any tell-tale signs, but it looks like there have been so many nuances in authenticity that I just got even more confused the more I read. LOL
Anyway, this bag seems to look good to me:
(1) The bales look okay to my untrained eye.
(2) The mirror is definitely not like the plastic ones you find in fakes.
(3) This seems to have the proper Lampo zippers.
(4) It has the black stitching above the tag, whereas the other stitches correspond to the color of the bag.
(5) The zipper runs well, unlike the difficult ones that could be found in fakes.
(6) All other elements seem to be consistent with what I have been seeing as authentic, but that's probably just me as a noob.
Here is where my problems are:
(1) I have seen different iterations of the interior tags so I don't know if this is consistent with what should be its tag
(2) The tag in this shows BALENCIAGA on top, and then .PARIS at the bottom. I have seen some similar photos online, including at YoogisCloset, so I think this shouldn't be too much of a problem.
(3) At the back side of the tag, it shows 281770 1202 H and then the last six digits. I have seen 281770 and 1202 in other online photos as well. Is 281770 for the bag model, and 1202 the bag color? If so, the 1202 ones I have seen online look a little darker than my bag. My bag is gray rather than dark gray.
(4) Also, it shows MADE IN ITALY and beneath it, FABRIQUE EN ITALIE. While I have also seen similar tags here, my issue really is that I cannot seem to see the letter 'I' in 'FABRIQUE' and the spacing between "FABRQUE' and 'EN' is a little close such that it seems to almost read as 'FABR QUEEN ITALIE' to me. I have included a photo of that here.
Note: I stuffed the bag with usual contents for purposes of taking these pics, so that it doesn't collapse and you can see the details.

Hoping to get your expert help on this! Thank you in advance!image15.jpeg image13.jpeg image7.jpeg image5.jpeg image4.jpeg image2.jpeg image1.jpeg image8.jpeg image6.jpeg image12.jpeg
