Hello everyone. I love the blog, just recently found it! Anyways, I've had this yellow, mustard small B that my auntie gave me a year or two ago, she got it in Europe straight from the "factory" she says. Well, I never thought it was real, but I just got a skyblue day hobo and they seem pretty similar. Now, either my hobo is fake too or the yellow one is real! I've read that the leather of B bags are always very different. My blue dayhobo is much thinner and softer. While the yellow one is thicker and stiffer. I have a good quality camera so I can take really close up pictures of the yellow leather...it looks kinda crackly. Is this FAKE? Yicks!
Please Authenticate this YELLOW/MUSTARD

picture #7 makes the bales look square, but maybe it's just the angle... could you show a picture of the whole bale?
there's the round thing, then the clip that attaches to it. the bale is the metal part that is attached to the clip...
yea i thought so. SAD, but expected. the bale part looks so different from the one bridgetS posted. the leather is quite tough too. oh well, at least it was a gift. wonder if i can sell it on ebay as a faux balenciaga. maybe somebody will buy it!
I sure hope my sky blue one is authentic!

Why sell it? Just donate it to charity if you do not want to keep it; quite frankly, you can keep it because it was a gift, or donate it so that you are not supporting counterfeiting.
Selling it, even as a fake bag, is wrong; it is a counterfeit bag and should be treated as illegal.
Sorry, just my .02 - I feel very strongly about counterfeit merchandise; it is a bad trade with dangerous consequences.
