Hello again! Please help me authenticate this Balenciaga classic city metallic edge in bleu nuit. I tried my best to get photos of the balenciaga tag— the indentations are a little bit faded and hard to capture. I bought the bag from Fashionable.
I can't read the tag at all, could you try and take a shot in natural indirect light?
other markers look good, in my opinion it's worth the extra efforts.

Thank you! I tried in some different lighting, is this better?

A few more with flash
These are the best pics but as @ksuromax said, they're barely readable. Other markers look fine, FP is generally reliable, style and colour code are correct and what I can see of the font looks OK. Bleu nuit isn't on the colour charts for F/W 2015 but I did find a bleu nuit for S/S 2016 so I guess it's possible it was made in 2015 as well. That's about the best I can do...

Thank you so much for your response. I'll keep this in mind!

Sorry we couldn’t do more.
Not at all! I think I will end up returning it--mostly because if I resell at any point, I want to be able to be sure! But thank you so much ladies, for being honest and so thorough!

I actually decided to get another Balenciaga city in gris chartreux (really hoping I like the color!) and I'll be posting again soon :D This is my first venture into Balenciaga--I've had a few misses but I'm still loving the brand!
