I checked the link for checking the hardware, and it turns out only silver giant hardware featured in Balenciaga Bag 2004. So I am curious if this bag is authentic as Reebonz Authenticity Card came in one package.

Please see the link in red below for pics needed. This bag is from F/W 2016, not 2004. The letter C was used in 2004 as well as 2016. The hardware for 2004 was classic pewter.

hey guys I'm back! Long story short in the process of canceling the order the seller insisted that the bag was original :/ I asked for more pictures of everything required (he forgot the Bale and Rivet :/, but you can get a look at both in other pics... but not the same thing right? BTW the bale has notches) could you please take another look at it?
PS: muchstuff, I hope you understand my sutuation because I don't want to be disrespectful to you and I am indeed very thankfull for the time you took answering and helping me :smile:

No offense taken but every aspect of this bag screams fake. Front and back of tag, the back of the zipper head, the rivets (I can see a rivet, yes there are notches, no they aren't correct). Not a good pic of the bale so I can't comment there. @ksuromax , @peacebabe , @Conni618 can you comment so our original poster has more than one opinion?

@muchstuff even though I'd like to hear another opinion I agree with you! The more I research the more I can see it! Clearly I'm not an expert and was fooled by this one but my eye has gotten a bit better lol! thank you very much and I promise I will not bother any of you again because of this bag :smile:
