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!

Hardly vintage. You're missing too many pics, we need a good pic of the tag with the style code on it (it should be inside the pocket) as well as the back of the zipper head and a rivet. See the post at top of the page for a link to examples.

Im sorry, well second hand. Yeha, i havent any other photos bc i cant go to the live auction. just hve to take a chance I guess

I'll wait until you have the necessary photos. Please quote your original post number when you repost. Brandear is generally pretty trustworthy, at least they have been in the past, I don't know if anything has changed.

Unfortunately, they were unable to provide additional photos since the team responsible doesn't have access to the stock...
I've bitten the bullet and ordered it anyway so will post my own photos once it arrives. Thanks for your initial response!

Well ..... I swear by Bal's Papier range !!! Just look at my avatar . Leather is bomb proof, light, easy to carry too. B4 seems to be the only size i've yet to lay my hands on

Yes! I originally wanted the A4 but B4 seems to be more unique and actually still fits A4 sized documents. I'm super excited to give it a try...I've been using the Bal Work as my work bag for years and wanted something slightly different but still had the awesome leather and is light. Now just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping the bag that arrives is actually legit!

Nothing screams fake but if you do win your auction feel free to repost with the necessary pics.

Yes because nothing else could, Bal hasn’t made handles that snapped for years as far as I know.

Hmm interesting. I've only had experience of 2005 handles snapping - a Work and a Day. So that would make sense. Anyways thank you for authenticating. I will likely keep it since it's authentic and I don't mind pieces with flaws it just adds to the mystery and story behind them

Any time!

in my opinion the bag is authentic, but the stain on the bottom makes me think that the butterfly is there for a reason.
if you like it that way and will keep as is, then you're good to go, but if you think of removing it be prepared to see something that it might be potentially covering up

thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

The photos aren't good enough, please see the post at top of the page for a link to the photos needed and the positions they need to be in. Close up, clear, facing the camera, no bends or angles in the tags. Need pics of the bale, upper head, front and back of the tag.

Still looking and browsing to find my first bal city (or first?) in black or navy at a reasonable price here in Europe... It is so difficult to get the sellers to send the right pictures! I wish I was as brave as some of you who dare to buy and get it authenticated afterwards with their own photos... Well, the search continues! A big thank to all the wonderful authenticators for your work, as I try to "train my eye" with this tread

It worked this time. Based on the pics of the tag posted I’d say authentic but you’re missing several photos needed. Please see the post in yellow at top of the page, there’s rules for this thread plus a link that shows you all of the details needed. All photos need to be close up, clear, facing the camera, no angles or bends in tags.

Hello, could you please authenticate this Balenciaga silk scarf? Thank you so much.
It's from local second hand shop.
Please note that white paper tag with plastic is a shop tag (it's still attached for return)
