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!
 
Yes, please
Muchstuff took a look but I would welcome another set of eyes :smile: If you have info on season/year that would be great too! As far as sizing, is this the "classic" size aka medium city? It's about 15x9x5. This is my first balenciaga. Thank you!

Please do!

Hi muchstuff, I’ve got the bag in natural light although it is quite overcast now. We’re expecting snow. What I notice is that the color is def not deep enough to be garnet (sp?). Its a wee bit on the tomato end of the color scheme. But Im thinking some fading is to blame when I look at the back of the tag (as you noticed earlier) as well as the back of the mirror its evident. IDK if you can tell from the pics.

Overall, I’m happy. Buy my thinking is that I should clean it up a bit and condition the leather (which seems dry) with something...suggestions?

Good afternoon/morning/evening wherever your time-zone may be! Would someone be kind enough to authenticate for me please. I have asked for additional photos but I'm forever impatient. Thank you!
missing a good half of the required pix (rivets, bale)
nothing screams off, though
please, check the first post at the top of the page for the required pics for authentication and repost, and please, either add the link again, or quote your original post
Thanks :)
 
Hi @muchstuff @ksuromax

could you help me authenticate this bag.
https://posh.mk/y8SwruRXmdb

The seller indicated it’s authentic Bought from a balenciaga store however I have never seen the back code done like this before so just wanted to confirm. Also noticed that the bag tag says 2009 when the M likely indicated 2011.

Just want to be sure
I’m asking for more photos but this is what is listed so far. Do you see any red flags?

What I see looks OK but you're missing pics of the bale, the rivet and the back of the zipper head so can't confirm totally without that. There are tag backs like the one shown, this would be a F/W 2011 atlantique. The paper tag is obviously from another bag.
 
Hi! Here are the additional photos @muchstuff

here is the link:
