Hi there,
I just got this Balenciaga from a consignment store (a well reputed one), and this is my first Balenciaga. Do you mind to take a look and authenticate this.

Thank you in advance.

Item Name : balenciaga midday giant

Checking the covered studs on this bag. You can see that the leather is worn away and the metal underneath has been painted/dyed black. I’d stay away from this one. Keep in mind also that dying can change the hand feel of the leather. My guess is the seller is taking less than perfect bags and dying then reselling them. Not something I’d want to buy but that’s just me. Hope her prices aren’t high.

according to the seller, as far as she knows, this second bag is not dyed. :(

so is the the first one a better pick even if that was redyed too? or much better to stay away from both bags? thanks so much!

Well the second one as I said appears to have damaged studs which have been painted over. Just my opinion but again as I mentioned dyed bags aren’t for me personally, especially when there are so many others to choose from. And again, what are the odds she purchased two dyed bags initially? These bags have colour codes on them, I’m guessing she doesn’t realize that.

Hello, could anyone look at this bag, the seller said the bag was bought in 2017. Thank you very much.

Missing some of the needed photos, and the ones shown for the first bag are either the wrong angle or blurry. Please see the link below for pics needed, they need to be close up, forward, facing, no angles, clear.
