Balenciaga 2001/2 vintage bag city black used authentic genuine leather preloved

Balenciaga vintage bag city black used authentic genuine leather cross body hand bag 2 way strap This is an authentic Balenciaga city bag that I purchased at a store called Aderade in Tokyo in 2001 or 2002. Black with oxidized silver metal fittings. It is City's 1st or 2nd generation. If you have any questions about how to tell whether an old City product is genuine or not, please ask us. This is an early version, so no cards are included. Only the strap and mirror are included. As proof of authenticity, there are sewing machine marks on both sides of the tag inside the bag, the Lampo Shipper logo, and a notch in the bag's metal clasp. One fringe is missing from the zipper at the entrance of the bag. The peeling of the fringe found on Balenciaga bags has been repaired. Please check the condition of the metal fittings, such as slight rust and scuffs on the corners. Balenciaga handle not included. The initial model had a short shoulder handle and could not be made into a crossbody, so we had a local Hermès repair craftsman make a custom-made longer shoulder handle. The bag is purchased at a store, and the shoulder handle that comes with it is a custom-made slightly longer handle. please mind! It's in about 6/10 condition. Please feel free to ask any questions to make your shopping experience enjoyable.
