Oh. Im so glad. Thank you very much. I feel relieved. Its a bit heavy though. Is it normal?
Yes, it is. Balenciaga switched the G21 giant hardware to G12 mini giant in S/S 2012, apparently because of complaints due to the weight of the larger (G21) hardware. But I think the G21 is far more beautiful. It definitely makes a statement.

Wow you're the best! Thank you very much. I really appreciate it! Mom in law left the country already that's why she's giving away some of her stuff. But you are so good. Balenciaga colors are so confusing. Im not an expert, I will just call it brown balenciaga bag. Haha thank you sooo much.

You're very welcome, they're both lovely bags, enjoy!
 
Nothing looks alarming, but we need to see the full bag picture and good, clear snap of the rivets, and please, do post a link/seller details

Thanks

Thank you for the reply! Here is a photo of the rivet. Unfortunately, there is no link or seller details as it is off an app based in Singapore
