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!
 
I am more curious about this listing than eager to purchase. It’s an 05 day according to the seller. She claims it’s Chevre leather but her paler tag says Agneau. Did Balenciaga use Agneau leather back then and was Chevre labeled Agneau?

Ignore the tag, it looks like someone printed it off a role, it's perforated on top and bottom. Agneau wasn't produced in 05 and the style number on the tag doesn't match the bag either.

Thanks! That makes more sense but not sure why someone would use that tag? Do you believe it’s an 05 Day?
 
Who knows why, she may have gotten the bag pre-loved and the tag came with. I believe it's authentic but I can't place the colour. @ksuromax what do you think? If it's teal it's pretty faded.
Leather looks like chevre to me, and i agree that the tag is nowhere relevant to it.
to me it looks more like 2006 rather than 2005, did you think of Blue India? it has noticeable teal hue in it

I did but the stitching looks too bright for blue India I think. The teal stitching is bright but this would have to be a pretty faded teal.

Comment: Apparently from spring 2014. Sellers says not cracks on sealant but is it just me... but it looks like there is
Authentic in my opinion, and I'd say yes there are some cracks in the sealant. Maybe she doesn't really know what to look for, or thinks you mean actual pieces broken away but there's the typical wear in the dip in the centre of the top edge from what I can see. But it's from S/S 2014 and if it's been carried as a regular bag it's hard not to have those cracks.
