Please post authenticity questions related to Balenciaga in this thread.

- Please do a search within the thread (use Search this thread located on the top right corner) to check if the item has been reviewed by one of the senior authenticators before posting. Try to put your search term in quotes. For example, instead of searching for 1234567890, search for "1234567890"

- Please use the below format when requesting authentication for an auction item:

Item Name:
Item Number:
Seller ID:
Link:

If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

Item Name (if you know it):
Link (if available):
then attach any photos

- You cannot post your own auctions. However, should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity. Please note that while it's fine to defend your own auction if its authenticity is questioned, please do not authenticate your own Bbag.

- Do not handle your disputes with other members in this thread but take your differences to Private Messages. Failure to do so can result in banning.

- Please utilize the "Quote" feature when responding directly to another post.

- Please post link (eg/ #4888 , copy and paste the post number) to the original query when requesting a second opinion or in follow up post.

- Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.

- Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentications. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.

- Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.

Hi all,

I know this thread it primarily for online sales. But I really need some help with my purchase and if someone could give me assistance I'll appreciate it! I've recently come across the situation that I bought a B city bag from a private seller but after I got the bag the authenticity was seriously questioned. I really wish I could seek help here from the Balenciaga expert, if i know it's fake at least I can avoid future losses and stopping selling it to others. if it's authentic then def is good news for me. here are some pix:

Also, what do we think of the black coloring on this bag? Are 2007 bags a year that can get a green-ish tinge with age? My eyes see a green tint in these photos, but wondering if is just me...Thanks!

Morning takemetoparis
Looking good. Please ask seller for clear, close up shots of the serial plate front & back

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can determine the authenticity of this bag based on the photos provided? I am mostly concerned about the rivets and the hardware color doesn't match the zipper (or maybe it doesn't appear to match based on the lighting). I am awaiting more photos, thanks in advance.

Really poor quality pictures. Missing key authenticating pictures that are listed in my signature.

These are authentic (there are more pictures provided in a link in the listing). I would ask the seller regarding a green tint as pictures can be deceiving.

This bag is fake - sorry. No more pictures are needed.
 
Sorry about double posting but I think this may have been overlooked.

One of the rivets looks off. I thought maybe it had been replaced but the seller says that's how she got it.

Thanks!

I still think everything else looks okay - we have seen oddities with the rivets occasionally, but I would like one more opinion:sos:

This one looks good so far, but we really need better (clearer) pictures of the metal tag front and back, a rivet and a bale to confirm. I do think it is authentic (color is good, etc.), but please see if you can get those extra pictures.

Hi! Additional photos attached. Let me know what you think...thanks!!

Additional pictures look good so far but still missing back of the serial plate

agree with cbarrus we have seen some odd rivets but I think it's authentic as well.

This is authentic, in my opinion. You can ask for the back of the tag to confirm, but I am comfortable with that I see in the extra pictures.
