Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag Authentic or Replica?
I found a Balenciaga city bag from eBay this morning. Its leather is very distressed and slightly glossy – it just looks like the authentic Balenciaga leather. The only thing that made me doubt about its authenticity is its hardware.
a close-up of the leather. It looks like authentic Balenciaga leather.
Its hardware looks exactly like those on replica Balenciaga bags: silverish brass hardware.
The lampo zip tab looks like replica lampo zip tab too.
the classic replica Balenciaga hardware:
However as this is a 2004 model, it is the first batch of Balenciaga city bags. I know Balenciaga changed its hardware in 2005. So I was quite convinced that first taupe Balenciaga is authentic. But after a few hours when I checked that listing again in the afternoon, it was removed by eBay. It looks like eBay think it is a replica.
There is another green one from the 2004 collection on sale now. It has the same silverish brass hardware as the taupe one – something we can now only see from a replica Balenciaga bag, not from an authentic Balenciaga. Its leather looks exactly like the real thing – distressed yet glossy. This time this bag comes with a correct Balenciaga tag and a Barney receipt. If the number shown 115748 matches the serial number on the back of the metal tag, it should be authentic.
If anyone come across this and know Balenciaga did make this silverish brass hardware in 2004, please enlighten me. Or are these bags the first authentic quality replica Balenciaga bags made in the past?

r all balenciaga handbags at edesignershop.com authentic?
and howcome it is much more cheaper there?
no, I don’t think the Balenciaga bags on that site are authentic. The leather doesn’t look like the authentic Balenciaga leather. The small hardware do look like the authentic Balenciaga hardware, not the silverish tone we saw from the replica Balenciaga. But their color can be adjusted in Photoshop, which made silverish into black copper tone. The prices are so wrong too!! It is too expensive for a replica!
Hi, I just came across your site and found it really amazing. Quick question, have you ever compare a replica that is advertised “mirror copy” with a authentic hand bag. These “mirror replica” or 7 star replicas are everywhere now for more than $200 a piece and they claim to be perfect copies. It’ll be awesome if you could point out their flaws. Thanks and keep up the good work
mirror copy or mirror image are all claimed by sellers. there is no standard for 7 star or 9 star quality. Sellers can claim any star quality as they want. I think you need to check the quality by as many photos as possible if you decide to buy one so-called MI.
This site offers balenciaga bags at super discounted prices. I inquired as to whether they guarantee authenticity and they confirmed that thery are original bags. I have looked at all of the photos of the bag’s inner tags, when available, and only one of them appears to have black stitching on the top of the tag. This red one in particular looks authentic but i can’t tell! Please give me your input. Thanks!
You can find some great deal on balenciaga bags on the net right now too.
Interesting page,
I bought a Balenciaga bag in December 2007, in an Department store in Kuala lumpur, Malaysia. This bag has silver plate on inside, leather zippers with Balenciaga on it, a card in the bag, but…. no serial numbers can be found.
This bag was sold as an authentic. I can not believe that the department store would sell fakes.?
