If this is indeed a prototype or LE, you are LUCKY to get it !!!:congrats: :congrats:

I love the leather, thinking it could be Caribou. And the condition is awesome !! :tup::tup:

Thank you so much for your analysis, and taking the time!! I was thinking that this might be a prototype, or a rare limited production too. Any idea on what this leather is? The suede lining is lovely and the bag is surprisingly still pretty light. Would love to hear other opinions/theories?!

Hihi, I just bought a new Bbag i've been eyeing over through a "reputable" reseller on social media. I just received the bag and would like to make sure I didn't get scammed! I'm pretty sure it's real, but the only part I'm worried about is that I did not receive the card with the model of the bag on it & the sample leather bit doesn't seem to match the leather grains of the actual bag. Please let me know if you think anything is suspicious. Thanks in advance!

Or you can check the full size image here.

Hi dear experts,
I bought a couple Balenciagas to a reputable reseller from Japan (although their headquarter is located in the US). They resell some Balenciagas and a lot LVs. I saw some posts above of this same reseller and I am quite sure my bags are original, but I would appreciate you opinion as well as the exact color and year of the bags.

Looks fine. No red flag. It's GSH, looks black to me though
