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!
 
Hi all, I was hoping I could get some help with identifying this bag! The seller has it listed as bronze but it looks more pewter to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I can't get any better pictures. What's throwing me off is the hardware, I thought it was supposed to be silver but it looks tarnished, and the metallic plate looks tarnished!

Please see my link for the required pictures taken in those positions. Please ask seller for straight on & close up shots. Resubmit your request & someone will help you out.
 
She sent me some other pictures, maybe they help out? Thank you all [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️View attachment 3435448View attachment 3435449View attachment 3435450View attachment 3435451View attachment 3435454
Dear Bal experts, would you help me authenticate this lovely 2012 Town bag? Unfortunately the seller can't send me better pictures, I really hope you can figure out something out of them :smile:

Thank you

I just noticed that peacebabe rendered her opinion to get this bag professionally authenticated.

These additional pictures do not help. We need to see straight on & close up shots like my examples

Hi, this is my first post to authenticate. Would you prefer I save and attach the pictures here, or is the link ok? Is it typically safe that reputable site like yoogis and fashionphile is authentic and does not need authentication? Thanks for your help!!

Even though both of these seller are trusted sellers, we need to see all the required pictures before rendering an opinion. A link with all the pictures or you can attach them. Either is fine
 
Hey lovely people ! Can someone help me out? I found this city for a really good price (I have not bought it yet), but the metal tag says the bag is from F/W 2013 and checking online there was no blue color in FW13, only SS13...also, there is no "925" silver print on the tag... But maybe I do not know everythng. Thank you!!!

I have read that Erica from hgbagsonline is a trusted and reputable seller. This is my first purchase from her and my first metallic edge bal and would love your input. Thank you so much.

Just bought this Balenciaga from bagborroworsteal and I'm pretty worried about it potentially being fake! Please let me know ASAP!

Doesn´t look fake to me. Wait to see more opinions, please.

Here I am again, trying to decide between the bag above and this one (if they are not fake!!!). Can you advise me on this one as well? Thank you all for the great job :smile: View attachment 3436511View attachment 3436512View attachment 3436513View attachment 3436515View attachment 3436516

Both look authentic to me :smile:
 
Thank you so much [emoji173]️ so about the city, you think it is authentic although the "925" is missing and the blue thing? Thanks! The price is quite small but still quite big for me... [emoji16]

Can you post pics of bales and rivets of both bags?
I think silver tags from up to 08 don´t have the 925 engraved, anyway, wait for more opinions.
