Right? Feels like another Balenciaga mystery...

It's definitely from our 2007 or 08 (if it's from the sunglasses) department store purchases. Again, not 100% sure if it's from the bag or sunglasses, but in any case, at least one Bal Authenticity Card seems to exist - if only in the depths of my high school-era closet!
Defo sunglasses.

Anyone have a strap idea for my new to me Teal City?
I purchased this one (hehe, mediocre photoshop skills at work here), but definitely open to other ideas. This one's a bit too wide, but it's for crossbody only. Should be okay.
Hit me, please.

Ha, thank you! I'll have to wait and see, if this one actually matches.
But if anybody has any suggestions, let's hear em.

Not sure if it will match. It's a little busy but it will be like a statement strap lol..

BEWARE of this eBay seller! Okawari-banzai

Deducted 50% of the refund, stating that “item was opened.”


Disgusting. These were super used items, and of course I wanted to inspect them, to see if I wanted to keep them or not.

It’s not as if I opened a package of something that was brand new.

Nowhere in the auction does it say 50% ripoff if opened. It only says returns within 60 days.
I already paid return shipping to Japan.

I opened a case with eBay. Needless to say, I’m very angry.:cursing:

It’s literally a ziplock bag. How would they even know if had been opened?

Why did you return? Damage?

So, on my recent trip to California a lovely young woman at least half my age came over to compliment me on my Balenciaga City. First time that has happened to me, although admittedly I don't get out much. I'd like to thank all the enthusiasts and experts here. I thanked her and said, "Yes, it's a 2005 Chocolate City." I like to think I actually sounded like I know more than I do. The chevre leather on this bag is so gorgeous.

Cross posting yesterday's airport photo.
