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).

A link to the listing in question is required.

Hi, I have a mini that my sister bought me some years ago but I'm looking for one that's slightly bigger for use during the day and it's my first time buying one second hand from ebay.

I've asked for more photos from the seller for bag #1 and am still waiting on a response but would you be able to have a look at this listing and let me know if it's worth waiting on the additional photos for or if it's looking a bit suspicious and best to look elsewhere? Thanks

Please do a separate post for each ask, it's too confusing to respond to a post with multiple asks.

i'll explain what worries me:
this hw, G12, is not supposed to be used on this model in that collection (U stands for SS 2020)
we know that some outlet models can have this hw, Town for example, but usually outlet models are marked with an O stamp on the leather tag. Even if not (we've seen a few bags without any marking, but the Seller purchased from the outlet directly) still there's another red flag - the style code - 519933. I cannot find ANY ref for this model online, which is usually a 'no' in my opinion.
i would personally recommend to avoid this bag, but if you need my answer on whether it's authentic, or not, i will say - unable to advise due to lack of confirmed information

if any other Authenticator has more info, or feels comfortable to comment on authenticity, all are very welcome to jump on.

sorry i could not be of more help :flowers:

@ksuromax, I read it as 519938. There's a W tag on Yoogi's with G12 HW, I have to admit to being confused as to what seasons G12 was made in the more recent years.

W tag must be thin strap (Z was the last year for this shape of the tag)
i tend to think the W-tag from Yoogi's is from Outlet, as i have seen myself in Italy outlet bags with old style tags
but this bag in question has a new shape of the tag, and i can't really comment on it with confidence
there was one on FP in black, but also W-tag and also old format
