Hello lovely authenticators,

I’m hoping someone wouldn’t mind helping me with this balenciaga city. I’m a bit confused by what I’m seeing about C dates being 2004 but this is metallic edge not introduced until 2014? I love this bag, please tell me I’m missing something :/. This might not have what you need for authentication, so I apologize if that’s the case.

thank you so much for any help you might be able to provide ❤️

thank you to the moon ksuromax. It’s now shipped so I will send all necessary photos upon receipt. This was a big purchase for me so I was a bit panicked when I saw that they listed 2004 as the year (should have been more diligent before pressing buy ‍♀️) and the info I initially found corroborated that information. Now I see the letter has been used twice. Thank you again so much for helping me out of my panic. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi,

Kindly check if this is genuine. It’s a private sale of a friend so I don’t have a link or other online details. Pls let me know if there are any redflags. Such a cute bag!

Thanks so much as always

Aside from the pics @ksuromax asked for could you please tell us what store the receipt is from? Is it an outlet store?

Hello, I purchased this wallet from Bluefly many years ago and have always had a weird feeling about it. Would you please tell me if this is authentic? Thank you for your help!

Thankyou for the reply. Will ask and will post more pics when I get them. Can I ask what color this is? xx
If this bag is an outlet bag which I suspect it may be, the colours used aren't always ones used for the bags for that season. Plus our colour charts for the last few years are nowhere near complete. Wish I could be more helpful.
