Peace here's a partial pic of a F/W 2013 cigare fonce mini Pom that's currently on it's way to me. I took the chance although I didn't have all of the pics I'd like. The tag isn't the tidiest but I was comfortable enough to buy. Of course I could be wrong, but I thought the font looked pretty accurate.

Sorry but I'm not commenting on the authenticity of your bag, I was merely showing peacebabe the tag on one I've recently purchased, as she was asking for another opinion. I'll know better once I have the bag in my own two hands, which will be later this week I think. :smile:

Hi MS,
My concern is more of the "MADE IN ITALY"

I know i "may be" just paranoid. But we have to be very careful of those in 2012 & 2013

Hello,

I can only say that im not comfortable with what i see from the back of the tag as well as the bad stitching. I can't authenticate this Papier

I have just received this in my message box it looks weird to me... many thanks in advance I love the authenticators in this forum and really really really awesome people it helps a lot since we can't really see the item we want to buy just to let the authenticators know that you are really appreciated :heart:

Hello,

Indeed the embossed was not clear. It really makes it hard for me to see the font & letters. The rest of the features looks fine to me. As i can see the emboss clearly, i can't give a definite answer to you too. You need to thus weigh if you get this bag from reputable source, or see if an paid authentication service can help

Hello again! The tag on this bag makes it so hard to to photograph. I have attached the best photos I could get out of the tag. Makes me a little bit nervous because they aren't as embossed in the leather as other bags or I don't know if its just the color/texture of the bag. Thank you again!

hey peacebabe sorry for getting paranoid. but as i was comparing the city in doubt with the one from the same season that i bought in boutique, i noticed the 2 stitches (is that what it is called?) on the cigar fonce handle near the rivet overlaps each other whereas the red one doesn't. sorry if i didn't explain myself clearly... do you think it's a problem?

Hello,
It does look much better now. Can you just try one last time. Instead of holding the top of the tag & thus bending it, can you hold the bottom of the tag, thus making it like "standing straight" with no bending, and focus on "MADE IN ITALY " again. I do hope to give you my best accurate opinion.
On the other hand did you get it from a reliable source? If you already own a few Bal bags, sometimes your "feel" can help too. Meanwhile, relax..... :-)

now that u mentioned it, the E in 'made' does look like is missing the bottom part...
