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!

Thank you so much you wonderful women! :heart: I noticed also that it looks like the handle cord has purple paint over it and I really do there is some kind of coloring on the bag itself. It feels kind of powdery. It’s going back.

We all agree the bag looks authentic, the only thing we can come up with is that someone removed the handles to possibly clean them? and reattached them with those screws.

@BBBagHag
but keep in mine that any form of alteration, especially where original parts are replaced, heavily devalues the bag, and it might be difficult to re-sell it down the road ;)

Thank you @kerryisntreal for catching the fact that the whip stitching on the handles is doubled! Since that is only done on giant hardware bags it’s likely the handles were replaced entirely and dyed to match. This bag had very little value IMHO so you may want to keep that in mind.

Hi there! New member here. Please anyone help me to authenticate this? It is from independent seller. The tag number looks off.

this is not 2018 but 2017 SS.
As per Balenciaga, G12 hw was discontinued in 2016, final batch date is uncertain, as they told me, it varies based on the model/colour combo.
Since yours is the most staple and basic (black, classic City), i would say you're ok to go, quite possible that they still made some black in SS 2017, too. All the markers i look at seem ok and exactly what i expect them to be.

Thank you so much for your help! The seller said she received the bag from her parents in early 2018, so I assumed that it was a 2018 bag, my bad. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to help us out
