Aah ok, in that case my eyes are definitely far from being trained LOL. Thank you!!

It's great that you're trying to learn! There are so many details and so many variables depending on style and season...it's always a work in progress.

Hello, I picked up a bag today from the local resale shop and have not purchased a Bal in a few years so not familiar with this style. It has a false bottom-literally the 4 corners unzip and the false bottom pulls out. Is the bottom base is almost orgami folds. Anyone familiar with this style? Also, label says Balenciaga Paris but back of label says made in Italy.

I'm not sure of your description of a "false bottom" but it looks like a Papier A4 mini zip around. Please post clear, close up and forward-facing pics of the tag front and back (these ones aren't good enough, no bends please), the back of the zipper head, hardware, and a good pic of the bag in its entirety, not at an angle.

Authentic in my opinion, I can only say it's somewhere between 2007 and 2010, looks like maybe anthracite. Do you know if the mirror has a back pocket?

Happy to hear its between 07-10, those were decent leather years, wasn't it? Thank you again Muchstuff. You are the best!

My pleasure, if you can find out about the mirror pocket we can get a bit closer date-wise!

These photos aren't good enough for authentication. Please see the link in red below for the pics needed and the format we ask for (close up, straight to the camera, no sideways pics, no bends in tags). Don't rush to buy this one until we can see the proper pics.

Muchstuff is much more optimistic, i would say 'RUN AWAY' even without any more pictures, does not look good at all to me

Good morning! May I please ask for your help on behalf of my good friend? She purchased a Bal GH 21 Pompon from The Real Real, and she'd like to know for sure it is authentic.

I've had issues with bags I've bought from TRR in the past, so I let her know I would help her out and ask for your kind assistance with confirming if her new purchase is authentic. I have posted the listing details and a few extra photos for your review, however please do not hesitate to let me know if any other photos would be helpful to you.

Thank you very much for your time. As always, I am grateful to you gracious ladies who share your expertise! Warm regards!
