Authentic Classic Balenciaga first bag Color is a chocolate brown (not sure if that is the official color name). This came in several shades of brown fyi. One is more red. This is not. See pic with silver serial number for authenticity Can be shoulder or held with top handle. Last pic is everything I put inside of it for the pic. Holds a lot! Shoulder protector, mirror and dust bag The tassels are removable. I usually tie one to be short to open the top of the bag so it doesn't get caught
