Yep! https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/handbags/satchels/balenciaga-classic-multi-zip-suede-bag

Any insight is appreciated. I emailed and asked for more pictures but they said no. They said they authenticate everything (which I know is not the case). They did say they would accept a return of I found it not to be authentic but I'm having trouble believing them given what I've read.
They'd save a lot of time and sell more if they just posted the correct photos. I have a friend who owns one of these bags, I've asked her to look at it and give me her opinion.
 
My friend says authentic. Apparently it has been on sale before at 30-40% off, don't know if they'll do that again or not TRR is funny that way. Were you looking for that particular style and colour or just any multi-zip?

Thank you!! Funny you mention, it just went 30% off again at 7pm tonight! I compared the exterior to an example that is shown on the Real Deal and everything that I looked at looked right - to the untrained eye, anyway. So I went for it. I paid with paypal so I'll post it in the authenticate thread & dispute the transaction if it comes back fake, I guess. I really hope I don't have to, though, because it's a pretty good price I think.

I've already purchased some bags from TRR in the past - not Balenciaga, though - so now after reading these threads I need to try to remember which ones I purchased there and check their authenticity, I guess. Glad that I found this forum!

just curious, what is everyone's best finds fr TRR? include the price if you dont mind :smile:
A $300 Alice and Olivia dress nwt in pristine condition I picked up for $50. Arrived in 2 days in a dust bag and measurements were relatively accurate. Ill order again, but only nwt items that are returnable. The site credits they hand out like candy really make for some great deals.

They hand out site credits regularly?
I never receive them.
 
Yes, I usually miss the ones I get too, unless they send that rare email.
If you don't purchase for a while then they might give a $25 credit to try and lure you back. Otherwise, just check every once in a while.
Maybe I'll stop making purchases for a while and see what happens.
Their items are getting quite costly for being used as of late.
