Sorry if this is the wrong place, i bought this bag from a old Spanish handbag shop in Malaga province. Is it real Balenciaga?.

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place, or a double post. I bought this Balenciaga bag from a old style boutique in Malaga province of Spain. Do you believe it to be real? or have any info about it?

Can you please authenticate this? I am a bit sketch that this is real. I have this same type of town bag but the number is different (240579 is my town bag) and the one I want to buy is 245079 which makes me think this might be fake. Some of the numbers are swapped. But maybe balenciaga swapped numbers around some years, who knows!

I've been searching and can't find anything to corroborate the incorrect tag issue but I agree with @ksuromax , the bag looks authentic to me. We know that anomalies exist which is why we check so many details.
 
Hello Authenticator:

Item Name (if you know it): Balenciaga Mini Edge City (purchased from ****** online)
Link (if available): N/A

It is the size of the bag which led me wondered. Size is smaller than the one seen in store. Subject bag is appx 8” x 5” x 2” (vs 9” x 6.5” x 3”). Wonder if this is the new size but I have not been able to search anything online or from the subject site.

Thank you very much.

Cont'd......Balenciaga Mini Edge City (purchased from ****** online)
I answered you on your other thread, thought perhaps it's the nano but the style code doesn't correspond to either the mini or the nano from previous seasons as far as I can tell. @ksuromax do you know if there was a code change for the nano or the mini for the new season?

nope, i don't :no:

If you're looking for authentication your missing a couple of pics. With so many changes going on at Balenciaga and this being a new season bag I don't know if we can help you. Based on earlier season the size SEEMS closer to a nano than a mini but as stated I can't find anything on this particular style code. Have they changed style codes? Have they changed the size of the mini? I just don't know...
