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!

Hi,

Apologies that these pictures might not be exactly what you need for authentication, but I know Fashionphile sometimes have sold fakes and I suddenly got cold feet since the description says that this bag is from 2019. I thought that the Town was discontinued by then, but at the same time I know that it’s still made exclusively for the outlets. However, outlet bags usually have an “O” at the end of the stamp, right? And this one doesn’t. Apologies for both being stupid by purchasing the bag before thinking and not really providing the correct pictures, I will of course be able to add more once the bag reaches me. But if anyone has a gut feeling from the Fashionphile pics I’d be grateful. Thank you so much in advance!

What I see looks fine. I'm ready to give up on trying to figure out Bal anomalies, I'm no longer holding fast to the "O" on outlet bags. It's too difficult to figure out what Bal is doing worldwide in terms of style, hardware, etc. for their outlet stores. And I'm guessing there are outlets and there are outlets, so the "O" may be for one type of outlet, not every one.

Hi ladies, I really need some help here to authenticate this bag. I got this beautiful first bag locally, I love it. But I am currently torn on wether it is authentic or not. On one hand it was said to be purchased from a Balenciaga boutique in Italy, the leather and the hardware seems legit, but on the other hand there are quite a few ”red flags” (the zipper, rivet, and liner). Can someone please help me. Thanks in advance.
