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!

Thank you, it’s good enough!

That means it is authentic? Thank you so much @LostInBal !!!
Do you think it is from 2009 or 2010?

 

[GeoRabbit]

maybe, but if it's done nicely then it shouldn't be a deal breaker

I think so it is very well done.
Thank you so much @ksuromax for your help and for summon the other experts

In my opinion it’s authentic. She’s probably one of the earliest ones

Hello! Back on the hunt for a black Bal bag! Could this be a real one?

They’re the right photos but not close up or clear enough ( the lighting is wiping out the details). The details need to be the focus of the photos. Facing the camera, no angles. So just a pic of the bale for instance, not everything surrounding it.

Got it! I’ll ask the seller if she can repost!!

Here you go! These look better.

No obvious red flags but the tag back is pretty useless and the rivet pic is the same one I think, very blurry and over-lit. Everything else looks OK but that's the best I can do based on these photos. (Please remember to post any future asks with full-sized pics, not thumbnails).

Thanks for giving it a shot!! I asked for more pics and those are the ones she uploaded. I really appreciate you taking the time to take a look though! This helps me make a purchasing decision

My pleasure, you're probably OK but without a better pic, particularly of the tag back, I don't want to make a definite call on it. EDIT: You know this is a Part-Time, not a City, right?

I did not know that! I ultimately decided to hold off on this one. Not getting the right vibes from the listing. Going back to scouring TRR and FASHIONPHILE for deals. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!!
