I just bought this off eBay, I paid practically nothing. Castagna, 2010, RGGH, Giant work, there is no lampo logo on the back of the zipper, it is completely smooth. Apparently the first batch of RGGH didn't have lampo logo stamp, the leather drapes beautifully, slightly thick and extremely soft. The zipper has a pinkish glow, I've seen similar bags with similar date and style codes. The zipper is what worries me most. What do you guys think?

Authentic in my opinion.

Authentic in my opinion.

Thank you, you're a star

Thank you, you're a star

My pleasure. The 2010 rose gold bags had blank zippers, I'm guessing that, since it was the first year Bal made used rose gold, that perhaps Lampo didn't have them in stock and they had to go with someone else.

The metallic edge bags started in 2014. "Made in Italy" went uppercase in 2011. F/W 2012 saw the alpha letter on the back of the tag denoting season/year made. This bag has lower case "made in Italy" and no alpha letter. Unless I'm unaware of some anomaly in the ME bags I'd say it's not authentic. The lack of photos doesn't help unfortunately.

Thank you so much for your help muchstuff and kuro! managed to get 2 more photos of rivet and zipper here.. hopefully these can be of some use?

Hello everybody. I want to say my opinion. I have been searching for a good company with authentic handbags a lot but I could not find. My best friend recommended me the company. It is called Dream Luxury Cebu which offers only authentic handbags and there is a great variety of bags. It is very easy to work with it . The company also offers authentication services for the bags via the Entrupy equipment for those who doubt their authenticity.

I think a better sub-forum rec might be 'a place for the fakes' considering the bags they have...

Hello Dear Authenticators,

I was going to put these two in the "A place for fakes" thread; but not really sure I should do that since I am no Bal expert. Some things on both bags really stick out to me though. Same seller for both.
