Please check the post at the top of the page for a link to pics needed. All must be clear, close up, right way up, facing straight to the camera, no bends in tags, no angles.
 
Hello authenticators!

Item: mini Twiggy (?) in metallic orange (?)

I am looking at this bag:
https://www.affordableluxurys.com/p...i-metallic-orange-leather-bag?category_id=142


I know the link is missing some of the needed pictures, but is it possible to directly see if it is a fake?

If there are no obvious red flags I will buy it and the post my own photos here for a real authentication.

Thanks in advance!
Looks like an 04 holiday metallic orange but we need all of the necessary pics. Nothing's screaming fake to me at this point.

Please see first post at top of page for pics needed. Try taking the bag outside for the tag shot, we do need it. Also the eBay link please. Everything clear, close up, facing the camera, no bends in tags or angled pics.
I’ve already purchased the bag! Tag numbers have me baffled.
Also seller just shipped it with no tags or dustbag stuck in a cheap mailer through ups
I apologize if I made a comment that I wasn’t allowed to!

Please could someone verify this 2004 Balenciaga City please.
The leather is very stiff and shiny, and the zip isn’t smooth.

Authentic in my opinion. For future please make sure the whole tag back is visible and your pics are very clear.
