Hello Indigo, Kindly see my reply to jang2519. I can understand your concern now.

Let's see if there is any authenticator who have experience in "outlet" bag & chim in. But based on the tag, it just didn't fit into the "usual" authentic ones.

Hello, thanks for your help. I posted it in the other thread. I absolutely have no idea about outlets in Europe and this is my first time getting a bag from the seller. She claimed to sell only authentic bags and posted all her personal pictures on her instagram account (to show that she is honest and responsible for her goods). The problem is that I can only get a refund with solid proof of it being a fake, There isn't any Balenciaga store in my country and that makes it really difficult. As much as I love the bag I would not want to keep it if it is a fake.
 
Please click on my undersigned link to see exact photos needed for authentication. Make sure all features are sharp & clear. All letters & numbers are visible

 
Hi girls. Thank you for your help Peacebabe.
Indigo Sunset: Yes, the paper tag on the yellow bag says it's 2016. The tan one has no paper tag though. I bought both bags myself at Balenciaga shop in Bicester Village outlet in the UK. So it could be bags made especially to sell in the outlets as Peacebabe suggested. Had I not bought them myself, I would have been crying thinking I bought fake bags :smile: Please keep us posted re the answer you get from the ID thread.

Thank u, somehow your reply made my day. Atleast it made some sense now when the seller insisted it is authentic. I have a feelings this color doesn't belong to S/S 2016 thou. So will you still be keeping your bags?

Of course I will keep them. Just have to remember this fact when I would like to sell them and of course keep the receipts :smile:
 
Hi,
Hope these help. The color of the bag makes it really difficult to take clear pictures

Non authentic to me, something is wrong on the back side, and it´s very noticeable at first sight.

It would be a good idea using any reputable online authentication service so you could get your money back/refund.

Thank you. After seeing Jang2519's reply, I am not sure if goods bought from Balenciaga outlet are classified as non-authentic or otherwise. She bought hers from the outlet herself and our bags looked just the same. It is likely the seller would say it is particularly produced for the outlet. Anyway, thanks for your input, lesson learned.
 
Hi jang2519, thank you for your info & input. Would appreciate if you can find out & update us if Balenciaga acknowledge such outlets & accept receipt for service & repair.

I find that it's bad that Balenciaga produced such inconsistency and selling it in outlets. That's a big loophole for the counterfeit makers! If such bags are indeed legit, personally, i will still not be able to authenticate these bags as i will not know if it's from legit outlets by Balenciaga, or it's from counterfeit maker :doh:
