[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!

@muchstuff Thank you! I hope I did the quoting correctly. I really struggled with the last line because it’s where it’s stitched to the bag. I was able to capture this (just “Fabrique en I”) but I’ll try again to get a better photo in the daytime.

@muchstuff I tried to get the best photo of the tag with the “Fabrique en Italie” portion. I just noticed the “en Italie” portion is smoother than the “Fabrique” part (possibly cause of the age?) so it’s hard to capture that part but I did the best I could. Please let me know if this isn’t enough to authenticate. Thank you!

The problem with bent tags is that it changes the look of the font. And it's not very legible TBH. Could you post a different rivet as well please? I'm not sounding any alarms here, just trying to work with what you've given me.

@muchstuff No, thank you! I appreciate your time and patience. Please see the attached. Would these work?

Sorry but the angles on the rivet and bale aren't good enough, missing the pic of the back of the zipper head (see link in the post at top of the page for examples of photos needed). If you get the pics and repost please post pics full sized, not thumbnails. FP has a good return policy, if you decide to purchase feel free to repost with your own pics.

I'm not knowledgeable enough with the Hourglass to help, @ksuromax , how are you with this style? The photos aren't adequate though for either of the listings. All logos, style codes, anything with a font, must face the camera, be close up and clear, no angles or bends. I know it's hard to do but it's what's needed, if we can't see it well it's not helpful. Also needed is the back of the zipper head and if there are rivets holding the handles we'll need a pic of the backside of at least one of those as well.

pictures are not useful, i can't read clearly any code

but i have a moment of doubt about the embossed one, it seems that it comes with a card that has some info - year, season, etc, but this model was released when those cards were no longer provided

Thank you to both of you. I will ask the seller for better photos of the code.
With the embossed one, even the slightest bit of doubt will turn me away.
