Authenticate This Balenciaga

[Vlad]

IMPORTANT READ-ME

Please see post #1 for complete Balenciaga authentication rules. All requests must be posted in this thread. Authentications are not done via private message or in any other thread.

See the link below for examples of the photos needed and the format they should be in (clear, close up, forward-facing, no angles, right way up, no bends in tags).

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/required-pics-for-balenciaga-authentication.741442/

A link to the listing in question is required.

It is an authenticator’s right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format. If the listing you are interested in is missing photos it is your responsibility to request them from the seller prior to posting in this thread.

Thanks and be well!

It's just the croc from what I saw.

i have checked a few now, including ones i saved from NAP, it started without sewing, square tags in particular.
This is new tag, and ones i see online also are new collection and they have sewn tassels.
Mystery solved!
ETA: this relates to croc embossed only!

Have you mixed your photos up? The front and back of the tag are from two different bags. Please see the first post on this page to find a link showing you the photos needed and the way they should be presented, close up, clear, facing the camera, no bends in tag or angles.

Thanks dear. I supposed the personal shopper mixed up with another balenciaga bag hence the wrong picture she sent me. I’ll get back to you once i received the specific pictures as you mentioned above, have a good day

I am also considering one i found online, based on my i read this model is discontinued ( the hardware + its rose gold!) its a bargain if its legit authentic though but i kinda have a doubt.
Here’s the link : Balenciaga Giant City Anthracite RGHW 2010 for RM1,800 https://my.carousell.com/p/275881902

Back of tag pic isn’t very good, missing the back of the zipper head, bale, decent pic of rivet. Nothings screaming fake but I’d need to see the correct photos.

Hi dear, the seller explained n i also read through about the rose gold Zipper 2010, it doesnt have the word Lampo on it, so should it be nothing on the back of the zipper, because the zipper with letter B was made available in 2012? Thank you so much!!

The zipper head changed to a single upper case B in 2014. Seller is correct about the rose gold zipper heads being blank the first year rose hold hardware was used. Authentic in my opinion.

Jumped the gun when purchased this bag, without doing research.... loved the different than what I have style. BUT, bag has a Korea label. I am assuming it it not authentic.

none of the pictures given are of any help, some are from wrong angle, some are partially covered, some are missing at all.
But FP is usually quite trusty, and nothing from what i can see screams fake to me.
You can order and if upon receipt you feel uncomfortable about anything, feel free to re-post again and provide all necessary pics.

Not a single marker for authentication, but Korean label makes me absolutely sure it's a fake

Thank you! I agree; I would think a site that sells bags would know what sort of pictures the buyers would look for to feel confident in their purchase. Perhaps the site feels their word of authenticity/vetting is enough. But you're right, none of the important parts of the bag to check are visible. Ahh. Perhaps I will message fashionphile about it before purchasing and ask for more pictures/how they can insure authenticity. Thank you so much for your promptness!
