A link to the listing in question is required.

It is an authenticator’s right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format. If the listing you are interested in is missing photos it is your responsibility to request them from the seller prior to posting in this thread.

Thanks and be well!
 
Is anyone able to tell me if this is a genuine bag? I don't have anymore photos than this so just wondering if anyone recognises it as an actual Balenciaga style? Many thanks

Hi! I bought this First Bag in Metallic Pink from ebay and would like to confirm its authenticity. The craftsmanship is impeccable, but I wonder about the following:

1. The whipstitches material looks like a thick cotton rope and not leather/suede (I have seen this kind of rope in bbags in Neiman Marcus though, so I am not sure if this is common).
2. The metal plate has the alphabet (which I understand to be the season and year) as L, which means S/S 2012. However, when I did some research, it seems like metallic pink was made in 2005 and not 2012.
3. The zipper to the main compartment does not extend past the end of the purse and has only 1 zipper instead of 2 (I saw city bags having 2 zipper pulls, and the zipper is long - if you pull it out, it extends beyond the width of the bag and can hang outside of the bag). The zipper on this bag is all "hidden" inside the bag. Is this common in First Bags?

Additionally, I tried sniffing the bag to make sure it's leather. It feels supple like all other bbags, but instead of smelling like leather, it smells of a damp basement. If the bag had been stored for a long time in a damp basement, should the basement smell cover the leather smell?

I took these pictures myself, as the pictures on the listing by the seller were not clear and complete. Many thanks for helping out!!!
