***A Place for the Fakes***

[muchstuff]

Hi there! This is my first time here. I hope I'm posting in the right place. Question: Do all metal plaques need to have the point between Balenciaga and Paris? I'm looking for my first vintage Balenciaga and it's very difficult since it seems to me that the vast majority are fakes

I'd like to see a better pic of the tag. Can you take one facing the camera straight on?

This was the photo I received from the seller. I have another one

Looks good to me, but for authentication we’ll need some additional pics. Do you have a link to the listing?

Was there no link to a listing? Ideally we need a pic of the full bag, the back of the zipper head, the bale and the rivet.

Pretty impressed fake except when it’s not.

I'm sorry.. I'm a bit confused by your comment. You are saying this is an impressive fake ...or this is real?

Most of its fake features are impressive, but one is a dead giveaway that's not impressive at all. It's fake.

I count two.

The one I'm counting is so obvious you don't need to look further.

Yikes! Well those are some of the worst "hangers" I've seen in a while.

Corroded tags that should be silver always give me pause since none of mine, even the newer one that isn't, ever ever look like that...and I can't tell if they tried to put a small hallmark or its just scratched to hell and there isn't one.

Speaking of rusty...I am when mirrors stopped having back pockets. It looks like the thread is black on my phone at top of tag but hard to tell.

And the while zipper stop thing I have forgotten. I think this one has it? But I forget when those were introduced. It's a shame what I've forgotten.
