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!

My Balenciaga obsession is fairly recent- Ive been lurking around the forum trying to educate myself. The depth of knowledge here is incredible. The bags that need the TLC are the ones that really tug at me. Like wanting to adopt the mutts! Thank you again

My pleasure. That particular bag will need quite a bit of work if you want to restore it, were you thinking of sending it away or doing it yourself? There's a lot of great info in the care and maintenance section.

In my mind I can totally do it myself! In reality it will need professional help. I have requested photos of the zippers. We’ll see...

I think you're OK re: authenticity but the zipper will help. Wish the rest of the pics were a bit better but both Posh and VC have that problem with a lot of their listings. She listed it in fair condition, I think that's a bit optimistic.

How hard is it to take a clear photo? Sometimes you can tell the bad photos are on purpose, I didn’t get that sense from this listing. Thank all of you for your insight!

Some people have no idea. And they also don't know what we need to authenticate so that can be part of the problem.

I’m going for it. Fingers crossed!

Sorry, not my area of expertise.

Dear all, I need your help as I'm wrecking my brain for days about this City. It's my birthday soon and I'm scared to buy a fake. All my previous ones have been bought from trusted sources.

Hope the pictures are clear

The bag shows as sold, did you purchase? These pics aren't useful for authentication, please see the first post at top of page for a link to what's needed and the position the pics should be in. Regarding cleaning, I'm not an expert on cleaning suede but the edges and the leather in the buckles show wear not soil.
If you did purchase feel free to repost with the proper pics once you have the bag and we'll take another look.

A couple of us have looked at this and have some concerns, we're saying not authentic to this one.

Thank you so much, I was also suspecting that it was too good to be true I really like this leather option, but might consider buying a new one, for a peace of mind.
