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!

Can you please repost with the pic of the bale showing flat to the camera and the tag pics right way up and facing the camera? Quote your original post when you do so and we'll take a look.

Authentic in my opinion. Do you see the "O" at the end of the first line on the tag back? We think that indicates an outlet bag. Basically all of the bags that we see with the "O" are produced with some anomaly for the year indicated on the tag. This bag indicates F/W 2018. While I don't have colour charts for that year I do know that rouge cardinale, the colour of this bag, was produced in 2013. I have an "O" bag myself, and it was made in a leather that hadn't been used for many years, as well as with hardware that didn't coincide with the season on the tag. But it's unquestionably authentic.

Thanks so much for your response - it’s really appreciated. Delighted to hear you think it’s authentic as it’s such a lovely bag & colour. Interesting to hear about the ‘O’ in the code - suppose I should just look at it as the bag being more individual It’s brand new - would you expect this bag to come with the mirror? (as there’s no mirror with it)
Thanks again

Good question. I would assume so, my "O" tag Day bag has one, although it was from an earlier year. I can't recall any conversations regarding mirrors with the more current "O" bags, sorry.

No problem. To be honest I like the bag enough to not worry too much about whether there should be a mirror or not - so think I’ll keep it. Thanks very much for the info. Take care

Mirrors have never been a deal breaker for me either. May I ask where you purchased this?

I purchased on tk maxx website. It’s the first bag that I’ve not bought direct from the boutique or harrods, selfridges or Harvey Nichols which is why I was looking for authentication. I’d been looking for a red one for a while - and when I saw this, thought it was worth a look!

Hi. I posted about this clutch for authentication once before I bought it but the listing was missing photo of back zip, today it arrived in the mail. Could you please help me authenticate this clutch again from my own photo? Thank you so much in advance ^_^

Hello fellow Bal lovers
I came across this bag in a resale store. Unfortunately I live far away and can't go back but I can't stop thinking about this bag. It's a very reputable luxury resale shop but I am uncertain about the short tassels on the front and the leather piece on top of the strap felt thinner than my current b-bag.
Looks like a 2006 bleu roi
Thoughts?? Is it authentic? Screenshot_20201128-063814.pngScreenshot_20201128-102712.pngScreenshot_20201128-102647.pngScreenshot_20201128-083412.pngScreenshot_20201128-102639.pngThank you!!
