Oh dear, our tie dying friend is at it again with the Chevre oldies. I think this one is (*was*) a 2004 Sky Blue Work :sad:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/325463234231?

Ohhh my stars! I saw those and was immediately repulsed. No offense to the artist but YIKES!
I admit, I'm a purist because I don't even care for dyed bags.
I suppose this would be ok to do to a bag that was in irreparable condition, upon REQUEST but to do that to a usable bag or one that could be rehabbed?
I think the seller would be better off offering this service upon request.

I'm with @muchstuff have any of these sold? For THOSE prices?
 
I’m not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I just wanted someone else’s opinion since I know that I can be a little bit of a perfectionist at times… I very recently purchased a 2005 pewter First on Poshmark, but when it arrived there was noticeable cosmetic damage on the outside of the bag and all of the tassels were split. Oddly, the mirror, the interior, and the hardware on the bag are all in perfect condition but the scuffs are noticeable enough that I am going to try to return it to the seller (my first time doing this, but I always ask plenty of questions when necessary before buying pre-loved bags).

They posted photos that didn’t show any of it, and it’s not in terrible condition but it’s not something that I would’ve bought had I known beforehand. Just wondering what you guys think of this bag? Am I making a bigger deal out of this than necessary? And has anyone had any experience with making a return on Poshmark?

The professional looking photos are two from the original listing.

Not acceptable IMO, if the wear wasn't listed. The photos you've posted are clear whereas the ones from the listing aren't, so the wear isn't as obvious. I'd mention that if you're returning.

Thank you, I’m happy to hear it wasn’t just my thoughts! I’ll make sure to mention it. I specifically asked if there was any damage, but she said “just normal use”..which to me means more like light wear as opposed to this. Sadly, I had a bad feeling about it when I saw how it was sent (in a beat-up box covered in duct tape :eek:).
 
Pics 5 & 6 are bad. The bag looks great in the first pic, but they should have disclosed the other issues. Did you give them the ok to disperse your payment?
I agree. So I’ve just opened a claim with them, which I believe means the payment is paused until it’s resolved. I briefly thought about keeping it anyway, but I was so unhappy with it being inaccurate that I knew I’d prob never use it.
 
Hi everyone,

I’m new to the community. I just recently purchased a purse via EBay (as attached in photos). I wanted to ask for your opinion of this specific model has been in circulation and if so is this an outlet purse? Also how can o removed the stains on the canvas of the bag? (Last photo)

Thank you in advance.

Alex

Sorry, maybe someone else knows how to clean this material. :confused1:

If it were mine, I’d probably try a white eraser. Just a small chance that would lighten it.
Thanks! I actually used varnish stain remover and it works. Now my only question is that if the bag has been in circulation before it seems like it doesn’t match with the current style in Balenciaga website.

Not exactly sure what you're asking, if about style or ?? If you search 'Balenciaga "Z" tag canvas' & select images, you'll see that style. Fashionphile has what appears to be that exact style currently listed.
