Thanks and be well!
 
Hello lovely authenticators! Please, can you help me authenticate this Balenciaga? I believe it is the Town model. The color is black with some sort of dark-green undertones. While the leather is soft and the purse collapses when standing empty, the leather is not really thin and the feeling is not super-buttery. The strap is cross-body, hip-length Many thanks in advance for your help!View attachment 4018415 View attachment 4018416 View attachment 4018417 View attachment 4018418 View attachment 4018419 View attachment 4018420 View attachment 4018421 View attachment 4018422 View attachment 4018423 View attachment 4018425 .
PS. Some additional info to my original post above, waiting for authentication: There is a very slight change in the stitching pattern in the back of the piece that holds the main zipper. In that portion of the leather piece, the stitching changes from a straight pattern into a zig-zag pattern, as shown in the attached photo. Should I be worried? Again, many thanks in advance for your help!

And last one for now! A boobie! These are so cute! It’s a purple color, not at all sure which one. I had a hard time getting to the under side of the zipper head so that one maybe had to make out. Thanks!

Hello, the photos are tiny & i can't read the numbers & the wordings in the tag well. I'm not aware that Balenciaga produced patent leather First. My 1st time seeing it. May be it's special edition in Japan.

I hope someone else can chime in

Sorry the attached pictures are so tiny. It's what I got from the seller. I really hope this one is real.

Hello, looks fine from the photos you posted. The link is not working

Thank you for your kindness. Both seller did not answer me regarding close-up picture of bales and rivets. I find it kinda odd. Anyhow i found another seller who seems to have one more ideal bag here are details below:
