What a score!! Congrats. Lovely saturated black leather!

Thank you! So you don't think the condition is a bad thing? Or too worn?

OK ladies. Here is my new-to-me Balenciaga bag from FP. I need your advice/expertise. I'm rethinking its condition, and might want to send back. I have 15 days to decide. It looks more beat up than I thought from their original pictures, but keep in mind, I only paid $375, so I feel that I got a steal of a deal. Also, is it too schleppy looking (or what you ladies like to call 'smooshy' lol)? Is that common for Balenciaga bags? It's my first one, so I'm not sure what to expect. Is this calfskin, because it doesn't look like the regular "wrinkly" Bal bags that I always see. I do think it's beautiful and I love the gold hardware.

What do you guys think?

Can you post pics of the bottom corners? The leather in the handles looks loose, is it? What is the interior like?

For sure. I’ll do that when I get home from work today. The leather on the handles do seem a little loose, if I remember correctly. You’re not questioning authenticity are you? I got it at Fashionphile so I didn’t even think authenticity would be an issue. Thanks!

No, just condition.

Whew! The condition of the inside is pretty decent, which I was surprised about. I think the corners are OK, but I will take pics when I get home and post. Thank you.

I’m just wondering what’s going on in this pic of yours, is it just a weird fold or is there a tear?

Oh my lord....

Don’t know exact color, but it’s beautiful, albeit a bit thirsty. These fold up into nothing when not full.

It does look sienna-ish doesn’t it?

That's my best guess. I so wish from the start Balenciaga had incorporated a color coding system into the bag itself, as opposed to on the associated cards/paper tags, which invariably get lost.
