I purchased this on Poshmark and they say it's "authentic" according to their services but that the measurements are different than she listed they were at 17.5 x 7.5 x height 11

Is that normal?

I noticed it doesn't have tassels. Do all of them always have tassles?

I tried to copy the page from Poshmark.

frejessing Question! The actual purse looks different than the stock photos (different hardware, no spot for a cross body strap to hook on to). Why is that?

yahiva01 @frejessing the stock photo is for you to get an idea of what the bag look like. Its not that much of difference

lissylondon Poshmark reached out to me and said the size was different than you listed and than normal for this type bag at 17.5 x 7.5 x 11

The pics needed aren't here but I'd go with authentic. It would be almost impossible to make a fake with all of the correct colours. This bag has G21 hardware so the lack of tassels is correct. The seller has given approximate measurements for a City bag and this isn't a City, rather it's the larger Work bag based on the style of the bag and the measurements Poshmark has given you. The page you copied says sold, if you purchased you can repost with all of the correct pics but I think you're fine.
 
Hi authenticators,
Please help to authenticate this bag for me. Thanks alot!

Hello,

I purchased this BALENCIAGA Agneau Giant 21 Gold City in black from Vestiaire and while they inspected the bag prior to sending to me... they do not offer a certificate of authenticity.

Please let me know if you need additional pics.

Thank you!

Thanks for the helpful photos, authentic in my opinion.
 
Ok Here are the pics - does the number look right and the zip? Is it normal to have loose threads coming through the weave? Much appreciate your help!

For future reference, your pics need to be facing straight to the camera, no angles, and close up. I can't zoom in on the rivets and the zipper pic is too angled to be of much good. As I mentioned I do think it's authentic. Regarding loose threads? Do you mean the strands of leather? I would imagine they could loosen up with age.
 
Thanks Ksuromax,
But how about the G code, i read G = F/w2014 collection.
But i see in card this bag made in year 2013?

Not @ksuromax, but wrong paper tag for the bag, the card is for a F/W 2013 non zip-around, note the different style codes.

Wrong card?how bout the bag?do u think is authentic?

Tq
paper cards can easily get mixed up, if the store has sale on, and customer will try a few bags, the SA might get the cards easily mixed up in the rush and that's not a rare thing
i hardly ever check the cards at all, i look at the bag
the card can be very genuine, from another bag, for example, but the bag might be not (if the Seller has some ill intentions, if you know what i mean)
but your bag looks absolutely fine, nothing worrying :smile:
