FAUX LEATHER???

 

[Deco]

Bal Authenticators are now going to have to be called, “Balenciaga Clairvoyants.”

Feeling more like "Balenciaga Russian-Rouletters" each day.

FAUX LEATHER???

Good lord! $4,450 for pleather!

FP calling it leather. Reversible also calling it pleather.

Who is the editorialist anyway? The bag isn't on the Bal website, and the editorialist site, when you hit "shop now", sends you to Farfetch, who doesn't show the bag in their Bal stock.

FP measurements state:

Base length: 16.5 in

Height: 10 in

Width: 4.5 in

Drop: 16 in

Which isn't as huge as it looks in that photo IMO.

I saw a blurb saying first seen is April 2023. Where?

I'm discovering a whole world of Bal bags not anywhere on Bal's website, including the retro-Guess-dupe Essex bags going for thousands.

I've never bought from Editorialist, but they always show up in searches, linking to a different site.

Photo on reversible also makes it look huge. Must be the waifish models. But look at the size of the chain links....

According to Balenciaga's website it was first shown on the Fall 22 "The Lost Tape" collection.
"The Metro Bag, a front flap purse, is made with knitted cords of faux leather and a massive metal chain."

That’s a ton of money for fake leather. 🙄

That chain though . Like the chain on the nylon raver. So exquisite, it makes the bag. Still not worth even the VC price.

The Rodeo has that too, but it’s not stamped on a stitched on piece of leather. Also the font on the white Metro on VC looks more bulky and rounded. Maybe its the photo angle.

The chain got me too.

Men's Weekender. Marine maybe?

This is a beautiful weekender, i have a feeling that Japanese seller exaggerates the poor state of the bag, looks like normal wear and if it is marine 🥰 this is a golden find …. I have no money at this point but would like to see someone get this gorgeous bag

Gosh I love this and the price is amazing. The only thing holding me back is it looks like the leather is a bit ripped on one of the handles

I might be fine with that though since these men’s WE bags are so hard to find!! And the color 😍
