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!

She lost the strap.

Authentic IMO, the colour is gris fossile, S/S 2018. A bit of unsolicited advice, that's quite expensive for a strapless bag, given that the black straps are selling for about $500 USD these days. I think they did sell grey once upon a time, you might luck out and find one on the secondary market, not sure which grey it was though.

in addition to what muchstuff said i'd add my 2 cents, too
tassels are cropped, and this heavily devalues the bag.
IMO, it's not the best deal

Hi. I'm still quite new here, its my second post so please advice me if I am wrong and not allow to ask question here.
I would like to know if we bought a Bal bag or own one then we re-colour it because the old colour has faded. Will the bag still class as an authentic bag? If it is, is it only we re-colour it the same as the old colour the bag original was or it doesn't matter if we re-colour to other colour as long as we didn't modify other things on the bag?
I'm looking at some Bal bags and a few of them are faded or have became darker like discolour so I just wanted to know if I recolour it will it change the bag to not be authentic.
I hope my questions make sense. Thank you so much in advance

Authenticity will not change, if it's authentic, it will remain authentic.
But it will affect resale value
Usually, by quite a bit

Authentic in my opinion, F/W 2010, a good year for agneau IMO.

Missing good pics of the bale, the rivet, the back of the zipper head, and the tag pics are upside down . Nothing's screaming fake but there are too many details missing for me to sign off on it.
