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!

I would be grateful if you could also authenticate this for me as well as one more.

authentic in my opinion

Last one, thanks

again, nothing screams off, but all pictures in the listing are not of adequate format/quality
side and angle view, blur, too far, not sharp enough to read...
if you are really interested in this one, we will need all pics (as per samples in the link given in the first post at the top of the page) in good quality and up-close, then we can have a look

authentic in my opinion

Thank you so much for looking over all four listings for me. I'm still waiting on photos grin the first two but wonder if it's best to leave it since I've not had replies since I messaged them at the weekend. Might consider this one though, thank you for your help

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

Good point!

Thank you for your help!

Any time.

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

Hi dear, ive clarified with seller and the code is 519938.1000.U.568024

if so is it authentic? Thank you

nothing screams off, but pictures required are not provided

Hi, I've got a few more photos from the seller but have asked again for up close photos of the rivets on the back of the handles and the hardware on the strap but here are a few more she's sent me so far.

These are for this listing: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Balencia...=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

honestly, with this quality of pictures and so many features that don't align with what we expect to see, i would prefer to not comment.
we only work with provided pictures, cannot hold the bag physically, inspect it thoroughly.
sometimes due to low quality of the shots we might question even a perfectly authentic bag, just because we prefer to stay on the safe side and not let any fake sneak in, you get my point?
this bag has a few points of doubt, and i cannot take responsibility for unintentional misleading, because i can't make a firm judgement based on what i see.
hope you understand

sorry, what what am i supposed to see here??
back tag is side view, and partially covered by fabric lining, front tag is hardly visible, the 3rd shot ... i don't know what is captured there??
we are trying to help you with all our best knowledge, but we can't do so if we don't get the RIGHT pictures
and if you decide to try one more time with the Seller to get the pictures in required format, please, post them in full size
these small screen shots are of no use, i can barely see anything on them
thank you

Sorry, the images were sent as a message via eBay rather than uploaded to the listing so I took screenshots of the images on my phone as I couldn't find a way to download them to my phone so I could upload them here. I will try and ask for better quality photos of the required details and come back

Please repost with pics right way up. We need to see all of the tag back as well, clear, close up and facing the camera, no bends or angles. Same with the tag front, it's too far away.
