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!

Yeah the pics are pretty awful. Please ask for them in the format we always say we need, close up, right toward the camera, no fancy angles, no bent tags.

Hii All! I hope i’m putting this in the right spot. Can someone authenticate this bag? It’s missing the strap ( which is fine for the price) but the rings to attach a strap are missing. Is that possible? How can the rings come off?? I doubt it’s a fake. I purchased it from rebag but i’d like to ask you all for your opinion anyways. If it’s authentic, where can I get replacement rings from?

Please read the yellow post at top of page (including a link that shows the photos needed). Yes you could take the O rings off the sides, they're not welded shut. I don't know where you could get replacements.

Please see the yellow post at top of the page for photos needed. While most of the components are here, the pics aren't very good and don't show the details clearly, or right way up.

You're missing a pic of the bale but based on what I'd see I'd say authentic. F/W 2013 rouge cardinal.

Hello, I have a bag that has been identified as a fake by "Authenticate 1st" but was authenticated by "Entrupy".

This bag was purchased many years ago from a reseller, way before I was experienced bag buyer, so I had not gotten it authenticated. Recently as I was checking it for reselling, I noticed the usual tell tale signs and hence went to "Authenticate 1st" (result = fake). After I have gotten the statement, I went to the original reseller who used "Entrupy" (result= authentic). Now as there are conflicting results, Im not quite sure what to do. The purchase was many years ago and its unlikely the credit card company will handle. Any advice from you? Ive also attached the pics.

Item Name (if you know it): Part-Time

Authentic F/W 2010 cypres. Did they tell you why they thought it was fake? I bet it was the zipper head. What they didn't know was that the 2010 zipper heads on the bags with rose gold hardware were blank. This was the first year for rose gold and my theory is that Lampo didn't make rose gold at that time so Bal purchased their zipper heads elsewhere. In 2011 Lampo supplied them with rose gold zipper heads.

Thks! Nope there was no explanation....like you said, i was thrown off by the no logo on zipper heads too; in addition to the small fonts for "made in italy".

This is the reason why experience and deep knowledge is so important. Thks again!!

The font change to upper case for “made in italy” took place in 2011. That said, there were some early Work bags with upper case font as well.

Hi! I am hoping someone can take a look at a Day bag for me please to see if it looks authentic or not. I tried comparing it to authentic bags, but I’m by far no expert at that☺️. I don’t think the paper tag matches the bag... says agneau but bag is supposed to be chèvre. Listing does not have all pics required unfortunately, but it may have enough to authenticate? I’d really appreciate your help and opinions please. Thank you so much!!! https://posh.mk/yeRIiZHSBdb
