Hello from Indonesia,

I just adopted preloved balenciaga classic city from my aunt, but it comes with mirror only or no additional balenciaga things such as dustbag controllato etc...

So i kinda worried about its its originality. I hope anyone here mind to help me to authenticate this bag.

Photos all attached
Tell me if you need more.

Thanks a lot!

Authentic in my opinion.
Thank you so much muchstuff! If it’s okay to ask, I took the dimensions because they listed another city S that appears to be much smaller and I think is a mini city so I want to make sure this is definitely a city S. The dimensions i took are close to that of a city s but they are coming out a bit smaller. The price on the tag is also throwing me off as it’s not what they have listed on yoogis website. Am I right? Is the other a mini city? Is there anyway to confirm for sure that mine is a city S? If I should post this elsewhere I apologize and I’m happy to repost somewhere else.

thank you sooooo much!

You can’t tell how far from the camera the bags are, there’s no point of reference for size so that could be why they look so different. The style code on your bag is for a City small.

thank you so much! I thought that too. I guess it doesn’t matter what the other one was as long as mine is right. It looks so small to me in this photo

This one's a mini. Sorry, not trying to confuse you but I was paying attention to your specific bag earlier. Yoogi's has this one mislabeled. You can see that the style codes are different.

Need better pics. Everything is blurry enlarged and you can't see the entire tag back. Photos must be clear, close up and forward facing, no angles or bends in the tag. Plus we need a pic of the back of the zipper head. Please reference your original post number if you repost.
 
May I please ask for assistance with this city S? Thank you so much for any help you might be able to provide.

thank you thank you thank you!!
in addition to @muchstuff 's advice, a little bit of extra info to note about your bag - it's lambskin (agneau) which is not typical for this model, usually most of Metallic Edge ones are chevre, but small amount of ME were released in lambskin for one collection in 2017, and yours is one of them ;)
