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!

Just out of curiosity, is this a legitimate Balenciaga style? I've never seen a brogues that wasn't all leather.

There were various Bals made with different fabrics. Can't say whether or not I've seen giant covered hardware ones or not (fun fact, brogues actually refers to the specific giant covered HW bags that were produced in S/S 2011 where the perforations were larger and there was a contrasting colour underneath. Not sure if they were made for more than one season). Sorry, I'm a bit of a nerd that way .

Hi there, I know I don't have all the required photos, I've requested them but the consignment shop hasn't replied and I'm thinking they likely won't, so while I know you can't say with certainty that this bag is authentic I thought you might be able to save me the trouble if you can tell that it isn't. But if you can't tell from these photos then I completely understand. It's the uppercase "made in Italy" that had me particularly concerned because I believe this bag is f/w 2010. Thanks so much for any insight you can provide.

You're correct that the tag indicates F/W 2010 and the colour is anthra. While the font indicates a 2011 bag I don't see anything based on the photos provided that would lead me to believe it's not authentic, but as you say, we're missing some photos.
Rather I'd guess that, since the tags changes show in the S/S 2011 bags, that this was just a crossover in the changes, there have been other anomalies in Bal details on authentic bags. I think I've read that lady is dependable, you might want to research that, but I see they take returns. Looks to be in nice shape.

Both authentic
