Hello-

I received the Bal Work from Rebag and I'm really confused. This is a 2016 F/W - as you can see it has a gold tag in the front (I've never seen that before and the handles on the front and back are sewed on so low that the bag creases! I compared it with my 2 other Work's and the handles on those are sewn to the seam. Also, I noticed a lot of their Bals have the Fabrique En Italie on the back of their tag. Is this bage a fake or defective. Ugh! I would greatly appreciate your help!

If you want us to take a look please post in the "authenticate this" thread with the necessary photos in the correct format (see link below for examples). Is the tag gold? Or is the plastic still on it and it's discoloured?

I just confirmed it's authentic - there's a 2016 S/S bag on Fashionphile (mistated as 2003) with the small RH hardware in shiny silver. I had one of the lady's pull the bag to inspect it and sure enough, it had the same problem! Maybe it was a design flaw for that year? I don't know but to me it seems that over time it would pull at the fabric and tear. So sad....it's a beautiful bag if it weren't for the defect :( Thanks for your time!

Re: the bag they pulled to check, I can't really comment without photos but will mention that the C tag was first used in 2004, then again in 2016. The 2004 bag would have pewter hardware and chevre leather.

Dea all,
I LITERALLY JUST ordered my first Balenciaga bag.
I wanted for ever one of the classics, but never bought one, because I had always another priority or wish...
Anyway, nowadays I don’t buy designer stuff as I used to, since I have a toddler and my funds are much more limited...
So, some days ago I saw this bag on yoox, for half the price that I see in other sites. After a lot of thinking, I decided to order it today... I know it’s not a classic, but I couldn’t reist the price. Let’s hope I will like it in person. If anyone has it, pictures and comments very much appreciated!

So, the bag arrived...
but, I don’t think I’m keeping it...
It’s smaller that I thought... and too stiff...

This might be blasphemous to ask ... but has anyone ever shortened the tassels on their City?

I love my new City, but this is the one thing that bothers me about it. I feel like they get in the way.

It's your bag to do what you want with, but if you ever resell the shortened tassels could be a liability. You could remove them and use a bag charm on the O rings to open and close your zippers. I have to admit, I find them a tad too long personally.

I've had them get caught in doors! I like the way they look. Personally I wouldn't cut them. You can always remove them.
