A link to the listing in question is required.

here the clearer. At first all is good condition because it is new they said. Then after less than 1 month The hardware are getting worst even peeling. Is it because of wrong storage? Sometimes i just put on my table in front of window without dustbag.
Seller's Instagram ID: luxatme_

You haven't posted a pic of the bale and the rivet angle is wrong, I can't see it, but both @ksuromax and I say fake based on what we can see. Just to satisfy my curiosity can you post a proper pic of the bale and the rivet? Like this:

I recently bought this 2005 Z tag City from Yoogi's but I'm skeptical that might be too good to be true. I have a 2006 City to compare it to, and this one has a white material visible on the bottom seams and in the middle layer of the tassels (my '06 does not have this).
Additionally, there is a small gouge in the leather on the very front, which Yoogi's did not disclose! The top, glossy layer of the leather is peeling away and creating a tiny flap.
Are any of these flaws deal-breakers? I've been looking for an '05 for ages. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

None of the pics needed for authentication are here. Front and back of interior tag, bale, rivet, back of zipper head, full pics of the bag, link to Yoogi’s listing. Repost and we’ll help you out. Yoogi’s is generally pretty reliable. What you’re describing with the tassels and bottom of the bag is fine.

Sorry, Dear, but peeling off hardware is NOT common to Bal, first, they produce luxury goods and use luxury parts for their product including hardware, and second, dozens of us here have Balenciaga bags for years and years and none has such peeling off hardware problem, even on the older bags, let alone such recent model as 2017.
This is a very bad fake and i hope you can get your money back.

Cautiously optimistic. The pics aren't very good. But there is a mauve from that season, S/S 2013, and the tag, although angled and not the best photo, doesn't scream fake. Best I can do with what I have...
