This one is fake right?

Yep.x

Other than because of the handlers how did you recognize it?

I'm looking at my black city right now in comparison to this....Yes def the handles, and the leather strings on mine are longer and not so stiff looking. The entire bag is not so shiny and stiff looking in real life, although i've had mine since 06 and its very worn in. Something about the mirror looks off too. I dont know.....

I hope that helps, be careful buying offline my friend paid $750 for one thinking it was a deal, really she got a fake bag and her money was gone. She still wishes she just paid the $1295 and ordered from Balenciaga.

What about these ones?

No prob... The first one looks fake with the strings, the second one looks better, but you'd have to see the inside and the silver balenciaga tag with the numbers on it. If they dont post pics of the tags and authenticity cards and that stuff along with the pics of the bag then i wouldnt trust it unless you know the person.

All the bags you have posted are fake!!! everything is off!
go to purseforum.com and go to the balenciaga section....
it will tell u how to tell whats fake and whats real down to the tiniest details!!
GOOD LUCK!!!
