Hi, I just won this auction and I 'm starting to get concerned as I cannot find the serial number and bag anywhere. The seller didn't give a lot of details but she accepts returns. I would really appreciate it if someone could authenticate this bag.
Balenciaga city mini.

The style code is for a G12 mini City but this bag isn't authentic. EDIT: Actually if that first number is a 6 it's incorrect. I can't tell for certain what it is. Mini City is 309544.

Thank you so much for your reply. The first number is a 3 I believe. So are you saying it's not authentic because of the number or are there other indications that show it isn't? I'll post more pictures when I receive the bag. What concerns me is I can't find the bag or the serial number anywhere. Thanks again.

No, I'm saying it's not authentic even if the style code is correct. I'm just saying I'm not sure I'm able to read the style code correctly. There are definitely other indicators.

Aha. Thanks. grrrr. I should have known. I wish I had waited to bid. I'd love to post more pics when I get the bag and would you mind letting me know what the red flags are? That would be very helpful in getting my money back. It's possible this lady bought it from someone else and doesn't know it's fake . Thank you so much.

I'm not sure if this thread is just for bags but I just received my first moto jacket from vestiaire collective and would really appreciate it being authenticated by someone here! I believe it's from 2012, black w/ silver hw, and it came with a garment bag. If this would be more appropriate to post in another thread please let me know!
