Hi

I have been trying to get the right pictures for the bag I posted but the seller has not responded.

I have found another I hope that these pics are helpful.

I did want a black brown or red bag this one is red I am a little concerned about the darkening in the handles but at the right price might be ok?

thanks

Authentic in my opinion, this is a F/W 2005 rouge theatre City, one of the early collectable reds, although the older bags have lost a lot of value in the last couple of years. The darkening of the handles is typical and can't be cleaned away. If the rest of the bag is in good condition you could always have the handles repaired (recoloured) by Lovin My Bags. The pics don't do justice to the colour, it's a great red.

hello ladies!
could someone pls authenticate this vintage balenciaga velo for me?
i bought it from a reputable seller and everything (for me) checked out except for the fact that it is missing its inner dual phone pockets - i've read that balenciaga only came out with those inner phone pockets around 2012 - but this bag also features the extendable/ adjustable crossbody strap - which i also read only came out in 2012 - so shouldnt the bag also have the two inner phone pockets as well? or could it be a really good replica? :sad: pls help.. TIA.:heart:photo_2019-12-24_11-52-08.jpg photo_2019-12-24_11-52-11.jpg photo_2019-12-24_11-52-14.jpg photo_2019-12-24_11-52-17.jpg photo_2019-12-24_11-52-21.jpg photo_2019-12-24_11-52-24.jpg photo_2019-12-24_11-52-27.jpg photo_2019-12-24_11-52-32.jpg photo_2019-12-24_11-52-40.jpg

Authentic in my opinion. The two slip pockets began in F/W 2102 and this is S/S. Strap was adjustable as of S/S 2012. The colour is dark violet.

Hi all!

It's been a long time since I've bought a Balenciaga (or any bag), so happy to be back on here! My boyfriend got me a Bal from The Real Real (they of course don't post any photos required for authenticity), and now the link is gone since the item is sold and in my possession, so apologies in advance for no link! (and thanks in advance!)

Item Name: Balenciaga Motocross Classic Part Time Bag
Seller: The Real Real
Item Description: Teal Arena leather Balenciaga Motocross Classic Part-Time bag with antiqued brass hardware
