Hello, I bought a Balenciaga City in rose gold hardware last month from an online seller. I would like to know if the zipper of an authentic Balenciaga is slightly gold or really rose gold? I also found a writing on the leather. I'm planning to return it if confirmed fake. Thank you.

Btw, mine is F/W 2012 model as indicated in the serial number.

This is from "lovebbags.com" :

"Rose Gold Giant Hardware RGGH is the newest hardware that has been introduced in S/S 2010. It is a light pink gold hardware, but an interesting characteristic of this hardware is that the grooves of the thimbles are darkened to achieve that "vintage" look. The zippers remain a light pink gold with no darkening. For F/W 2011, I have heard that the zippers now matched the rest of the hardware with the "aged" look. As of S/S 2012, the Rose Gold Giant Hardware (Giant 21) is now replaced with the Giant 12 (mini giant hardware).

If you have concerns about your bag please see the link below for the necessary pics for authentication. :smile:

Hello, features looks fine to me. However, as i can't feel & touch the bag like you, do what is right if you don't feel comfortable

Hi Guys, need your help to authenticate this Balenciaga.

I personally own many Balenciaga but this one somehow make me feel uncomfortable, not sure if its the texture of the bag or the fact that it just so new and will take some time for the leather to be smooth
