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 there, this motorcycle first bag looked great, I checked every detail in pics know the bags well but then I saw this close up of the handle. I know none of my b bags have chipped like that and find it odd. Maybe the handle got wet and wasn't cared for?bal cuir handle.png I know the agneau leather when it's in my hands so can tell for sure if I order it but was hoping not to have to order and return it if not happy. Any thoughts?

Not sure exactly what you’re looking at? There’s some sealant missing which isn’t all that unusual. Looks like maybe a small piece of leather missing, maybe a small tear? Without the proper photos I can’t make any comments as to authenticity.

I wasn't looking for authentication per se, just wanted some opinions on the look of this leather. I am currently away from home so don't have my bags of same style with me that I can compare.
You've actually helped me a lot though thank you! I hadn't thought about the sealant.

My pleasure, although it could be possible for sealant on a fake bag to do much the same thing.

Please ask for a photo of a bale shown at its widest angle for the Vestiaire bag.

The ebay Galet looks fine, but would want to see a rivet to be certain.

Am I quoting the original post correctly? Sorry if not.
And I’m adding the long tag here. Thanks for the help again!

Could you please ask the seller for the long tag that's in the interior zipped pocket? We need a photo of it facing the camera, no angles, clear and close up. Please quote your original post number when you repost.

Please, any expert could authenticate this? I think it’s fake but would like to confirm please :flowers:
This seller is the same who sold my Amethyst GGH Work to me and now she’s blocked me at VC :shocked:

Black Work RH on VC
Shouldn’t a “made in italy” have a silver tag?

Seller finally added the pic I asked her for to her VC listing so I confirm myself this is fake.
Btw, thank you so much for your many inputs about this one :hbeat:

A while back I picked up a 2005 Z tag chevre City off of Yoogi’s since my 2006 W tag City has been so heavily used and looking shabby. I was just comparing them side by side and I have a nagging feeling the 2005 Z tag one is fake. I’m not sure what to think since they are from different years and are at different stages of being broken in (my 2006 City has been very loved and gone everywhere with me) but I do remember hearing that Z tag bags were the most faked. On the 2005 the bottom corner details look slightly bigger, the handles feel almost “flatter” and overall it doesn’t smoosh and collapse as much, plus the tassels feel a tad more stiff.
