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!

You're missing most of the photos needed but that tag shown is totally fake. The style code is for a City small, not a mini as well.

Hi All. New member here.

Definitely not my forte - a thrift store find that was worth the risk
my own research makes me think it's a little off, though would like to hear it from the experts
Happy to take other pics if needed

What am I looking at in picture six? Authentic in my opinion, she’s an oldie.

Oooh that makes me feel good - Picture 6 is the part that connects the strap to the bag, just spread out (the top left and right from pic 1)
I posted to show the stitching as I know wonky stitching is usually a sign, and that looked pretty straight to me
Am I right in saying it's 2002 or 2003?

02 was flat brass hardware not pewter. Looks like S/S 03 mastic to me. Congrats, it’s a great thrift find!
