Hi everyone,
I just bought a preloved Balenciaga first city from a well established dress agent in Manchester. The bag looks really real : check the zip, hardware and handle. BUT I just notice the metal tag has the correct style number 103208 but on the back of the leather tag it said 240557-3239. NONE of the number matches the front, could this be a fake? I saw a couple of you tube videos saying the leather tag should match the metal tag. Plus the thread that sewn the tag should be black on top regardless of the bag colour. Mine is all the same colour.

Please help!

I would strongly urge you to post the required pics on the authenticate this thread. See links below, the second one will show you which pics you need. Make sure they're sharp and close. Both of the points you've mentioned suggest the bag may be fake.

I have upload the pictures.
The bag in question is a super fake because it has all the correct studs and even the branding of the zips they used

I'm not an authenticator so please feel free to wait for someone else's opinion but I would call it non authentic based on your pics. Out of curiosity could you post a pic of the bale, rivet back and zipper head back?

Hi, good news! I returned the bag and got a full refund. My hubby has been away with the iPad so I can't load the photos that I taken before I returned the bag. He is back now so I will try tonight or tomorrow.

Not enough info...the style number is 173082 which is for a part time with G21 hardware. G21 was introduced in 2007 and discontinued in 2012. That narrows it down. If you're planning to buy might I suggest you post on the "authenticate this" thread to firstly make sure it's authentic? That may also help narrow down the year, as will the colour. Here's two links, one for the photos needed and one for the "authenticate this" thread.
