Balenciaga Handbags Review

Overall Rating

I love the leather and the details of the inside.

None

I just got my Balenciaga bag from Poshfly.com and I was in love the minute it got to my door. Boy, it is soooo nice and I save a bunch. I love the detail Balenciaga puts in their handbags. I can't wait until next month and I can get my second bag.

  um, you do realise that you saved a bunch because what you bought was a replica, not a genuine bag ?!

• marcelaguan on 16th Aug 2005

  yeah shes right, those websites have replicas only. u have to be very careful

• sexxygirljess on 17th Aug 2005

  no its authentic, i got one there too

• sexxygirljess on 17th Aug 2005

  not true mine is authentic

• emily22 on 18th Aug 2005

  have a look on the loop/rings that hold the tassles and shoulder strap, are they soldered in or is there a continuous loop or is there a gap?

• marcelaguan on 19th Aug 2005

  u have to be really careful these days because most of the websites selling the bags sell fakes. only spend the money on really known sites or places where u have visited the store. Im looking into buying the chloe paddington and there are soo many fakes on the web.

  Hi,
  Is Poshfly.com selling authentic Balenciaga bag? I'm planning to buy one, but have no idea where to get an auth one online.

• ChicagoFashonista on 24th Aug 2005

  I am wondering also if it is authentic or not, it is REALLY cheap there.

• sexxygirljess on 24th Aug 2005

  im telling you all that i got a balenciaga le dix motorcycle bag on poshfly.com and its authentic and beautiful. Don't hesitate its real!

• ChicagoFashonista on 24th Aug 2005

  I am really interested in buying a Balenciaga and Poshfly is really cheap, I just want to confirm that they are real. I know that on the website it says that they are, but at that price I do question it.

• marcelaguan on 24th Aug 2005

  if you want authentic online u can go to www.aloharag.com. I found the store when i was in hawaii. The store is located in hawaii too so if you have them ship it to you (any state outside of hawaii) its tax free. You can actually save some money. I just recently bought the chloe paddington there.

  POSHFLY AND ANY OTHER ONLINE RETAILERS THAT OFFER CHEAP BAL BAGS ARE FAKE, PHONE THE BALENCIAGA STORES IN PARIS OR NEW YORK, THEY WILL TELL YOU THE SAME

• emily22 on 26th Aug 2005

  sexygirljess, have you checked the metal loops/rings that hold the shoulder strap and tassles? these must be soldered closed, meaning there will be no gap in the metal for it to be genuine, cheap replicas , and even expensive replicas do not have this.

• jochan on 29th Aug 2005

  I want to order Balenciaga bag from Poshfly too. Is there any other people who get the bag from them? Do you know if they send you authentic bag?

• emily22 on 30th Aug 2005

  AM I TALKING TO MYSELF HERE? POSHFLY SELL FAKES, IF YOU WANT TO WASTE $$$$ ON A FAKE THEN CARRY ON, I DID MY BEST, AT LEAST PHONE THE BAL BOUTIQUES, THEY WILL TELL YOU THE SAME THING I HAVE.

• ChicagoFashonista on 30th Aug 2005

  emily22 you are not talking to yourself. Do you know of any place online that sells real ones? I can't find them here retail and I live in Chicago (very weird).

• jochan on 30th Aug 2005

  I bought a balenciaga bag from efashionstore and it was authentic. I am from Japan and there are quite a few department sore sells authentic balenciaga bag and I checked with them and they confirm it it is real. Pelase try.

• emily22 on 30th Aug 2005

  www.aloharag.com and www.brownsfashion.com sell genuine bal bags

• emily22 on 31st Aug 2005

  No, E Fashion Store do not sell genuine Balenciaga bags.

• sexxygirljess on 6th Sep 2005

  emily, it is real and there is no gap, it is totally authentic, poshfly has an account with Balenciaga, if you dont believe it then call them yourself.

• markkymark999 on 6th Sep 2005

  Ladies, i bought my wife a Balenciaga Le Dix motorcycle bag on Poshfly.com , and let me tell you its AUTHENTIC. If anyone knows real from fake its my wife, and she was thrilled with the handbag. Have no worries its all real, and anyone who is assuming its fake is just saying that to promote their own websites, trust me i know! Good luck and don't hesitate to order from poshfly!!

• shopgirl on 7th Sep 2005

  Number one: Balenciaga NY just confirmed this: the company does not allow "click and put it in your shopping bag and check out online" sales of their bags. With Aloharag, who does sell authentic, they list them, but you have to handle the transaction over the phone and/or fax.
  
  Number two: soldering or no soldering, those bags are very high-end fakes. Take one into Balenciaga (not a department store) and just compare it to the ones you find there. It's close, but you will see the difference.
  
  Number three: don't believe those of us who are telling you they're fake if you don't want to. But they're fake.

• emily22 on 8th Sep 2005

  thanks for the back up shopgirl, it seems the fakers are making so much money now they can afford to spend that little bit extra and solder the loops together

• marcelaguan on 9th Sep 2005

  I did mention Aloharag, but can assure you that I have no connection with them at all. Not trying to promote anything. I just want everyone to be careful. I wouldn't pay that much for a fake thats all. If you are spending that much money, you might as well shell out a little more to get the authentic. If I know it's fake and still chose to buy it... thats up to you, we are just here to point out the facts. I know I would be mad if I was spending that much money on a "promised" real bag and it happens to be fake.

• fionalougriff on 8th Oct 2005

  I have been trying to buy the Le Dix bag from Poshfly.com and have had no response from them! After reading all the comments I think I will cancel the transaction (if they respond) and go buy the real deal from Harvey Nicks. Thanks everyone for the info.

• fionalougriff on 9th Oct 2005

  I have ordered a Balenciaga Le Dix bag from Poshfly but am still waiting for it to be shipped. After reading all the comments I don't want one from there now. I have tried to contact them but had no luck either by phone or e-mail. Any suggestions??

• fionalougriff on 10th Oct 2005

  I have tried to order from poshfly but they are not getting back to me. It makes me wonder now having read all the cooments about fakes.

• emily22 on 10th Oct 2005

  Fiona, def cancel the poshfly order! contact aloharag.com or Browns or if you're in the uk you could phone Harvey Nicks to see what they have and they should send it out to you, for the record markymark, I have nothing to do with either aloha or Browns, I just have experience with buying from them

• fionalougriff on 11th Oct 2005

  Thanks Emily, still no luck with poshfly. They are just not aknowledging my e-mails and the fone is just an automated service. I'm taking a trip to Harvey Nicks on Saturday!!!

• marcelaguan on 11th Oct 2005

  Emily, they all have the right not to listen!! Just like we have the right to post what we know is true. It would be wise if someone would take the time to call balenciaga and ASK them for a list of the authorized retailers before making the purchase. Balenciaga does not allow online sites to post pictures of their bags, it can only be listed. Poshfly's bags are not real, therefore they can show them with pictures...pictures of the fakes.

• fionalougriff on 12th Oct 2005

  Can anybody tell me why Poshfly are not replying to my e-mails when trying to cancel my order?

• shopgirl on 12th Oct 2005

  Maybe because they're scammers? I would call your credit card company if they continue to ignore you.

• fionalougriff on 13th Oct 2005

  I think I will now. Very dodgy. Thanks.

• annoula21 on 14th Nov 2005

  Hey I know it's really important to everyone that a bag should be real but I just bought one from a guy on the street in NY and guess what?
  1. It looks real from two feet away and if anyone comes up to examine my bag I'll think they're odd. 2. It holds all my things (the purpose of a bag). 3. It looks nice. 4. I spent $25. 5. I admit that it's fake to anyone, and am quite proud of it (not the fact that it's fake, but that I have a stylish bag for a small amount of $$$). 6. I'll get tired of it in two months but won't feel guilty because I didn't spend two paychecks on a bag.

• marcelaguan on 15th Nov 2005

  i think its fine to get fakes for 25 bucks!! but as long as it was sold to you as a fake. what we were all bothered by was the fact that people were getting fakes while paying almost full price... and getting taken advantage of by a company on the internet. we all have the right to purchase what we want at any amount of money, as long as we understand what the goods are.

• annoula21 on 15th Nov 2005

  completely understandable and logical. very rare in a forum.

• angelahuang1029 on 21st Dec 2005

  Has anyone heard of www.bagdesigns.net?
  
  I know they are not real bags but if the bags look as good as what they show on the pictures, I am happy! but has anyone ordered from it before? How did the bags look? Can anyone help me? I wanted to get the real one but they are all sold out! So I had to resort to this.

• emily22 on 22nd Dec 2005

  horrible, yucky, cheap fakes, not even close to the real thing, i'd avoid if i were you, try ebay

• angelahuang1029 on 23rd Dec 2005

  Hi EMILY22 - thanks for your response! I won't order one from bagdesigns.net after reading your mail!

• ems on 19th Sep 2006

  I am interested in buying a chloe paddington bag from ebay but I really dont want to end up with a fake. Has anyone got any tips on what I should be looking for in a genuine bag and maybe what price would seem genuine?

• xoxobalenciaga on 25th Feb 2008

  does anyone know if www.shirise.com sell authentic balenciaga handbags?
  
  what's the retail price for balenciaga motorcyle?

• ChicagoFashonista on 4th Mar 2008

  I live in the Chicago area and Shirise is an upscale store in the area.

• ksrunner on 7th Jul 2008

  Shirise has become a favorite store for me to shop online. Delivery is fast and the customer service is amazing.
