[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!

Please repost with pics facing the camera, close up and clear, no bends in the tags. Zipper pic is out of focus and there’s no rivet pic.

Thank you and so sorry - the bag is small so it was hard to get photos of the zipper, tags, etc! Here are updated photos -

Hello. This is my first Balenciaga bag. I found it at a local thrift shop. It feels expensive and the leather to my guess is lambskin. I just wanted to know if its authentic. If yes, its my best find yet. TIA

Hi - I would very much appreciate someone looking at this bag. I just purchased from eBay and now I am thinking it may be inauthentic. However the seller insists that it is one of the first editions (and she has a broad history of positive reviews for vintage bags). I just want to make sure because I like the bag but I obviously don't want to keep a replica when I can open a claim. The bag is missing the strap so keep that in mind. C would indicate it is from 2004. It doesn't have the typical indicators but if it was an early edition that might not be uncommon. Thank you so much!!

Hi guys! I’m new to these forums,but need your help to authenticate my Balenciaga mini city black ghw. Bought it at December 2019 at my local online seller. The seller has great reputations and no sign of fraud or faking their items, so I agree to bought from them.
I’m just curious because there are some things I need to make sure, like :

1. the zipper my bag had is in BB symbol (mirroring each other) I googled and didn’t find any clue about this

2. the tag inside the bag is made with leather with gold foil and it sewed all around (cannot be flipped) and the serial number is exactly at the bag of the gold foil tag (but sewed separatedly from the front tag)

these 2 is my main concerns,since I already checked the hardware,the shapes,stitching etc is quite fair and believable

please,if you have any opinion it will really help! Thank you so much aand nice to meet you all

Authentic in my opinion.

Jumping in to add bag is an outlet model, just in case that's an issue for the buyer.

Thank you! That actually makes a lot of sense, is that why it’s a bit larger than the standard model? Thanks for the info

No prob! I honestly have no idea if there's a sizing difference; outlet bags tend to just be a mishmash of color and hardware combo's that weren't made for non-outlet bags, or else a recycling of previous season colors.
