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!

@purseonal_collection the reason I'm asking for the extra pics is that there were a lot of fake ME Cities coming out of eastern Canada ( not just Bal, all sorts of brands, there was (and still is? I don't know) a counterfeiting ring operating out of Quebec. The ME city was one we saw a lot of, excellent fakes with a short front tassel, although I believe the tassel was longer than this one, so this one may just be cut. And they were 2017 bags as well as I recall, but I think maybe F/W bags.

Hello (again),

Here comes purchase 2 of 3 that needs authentication:angel::biggrin: Once again I am unsure of what is needed but I have tried taking photos of everything that might be interesting. I have my doubts actually, but hopefully I am wrong.

Mini mini first

thank you muchstuff for taking all this time to identify the bags!
I‘ll post more pictures below. The seller on Vestiaire came from Italy and I have no idea where she has the bag from.
i compared the bag with my other Balenciaga bag that I got Brand new and they are very similar! But I’m curious because of the tassel and the zipper to be honest. They are slightly different …

@purseonal ksuro and I have been discussing your bag, and while she reminded me that the earlier bags we were discussing out of Canada were classic HW bags I just googled the website in question. They're still in business and they have an ME with the exact same length tassel as yours. That, coupled with the small differences both of us see in the tag font, the zipper head, and the tassel...I'd say not authentic.

Thank you so much for taking the time and your opinion! I think the same… at first and thought it’s a real one but taking a closer look and comparing it with my original one makes me really curious. I wrote Vestiaire and I can send it back and they will double check. Fingers crossed they‘ll see what we see I mean .. I payed for authentication, I think they should take the bag back.

I am sorry to be bugging you again with my indecisiveness but I think I'd like more of a red or closer to red bag than the roses I asked about before. Could you, dear ladies, please help me with the following 2? Your help is really appreciated!

Item: Coquelicot Lambskin Leather Motorcycle Work Bag

and:

Item: Rouge Vif Lambskin Leather Motorcycle Work Bag
Link: https://www.yoogiscloset.com/catalog/product/view/id/149688/

Thank you in advance for your big help! Also, if you think the price is too high for the condition of any one of them, your opinion is greatly appreciated.

Both are authentic in my opinion. Prices aren't horrible, the rouge vif is chevre while the coquelicot is agneau. Check them both over carefully, I had a cursory look, I'd go for chevre over agneau if it was my choice.

Just a thought: do you think this seam is somehow damaged or is it only normal wear? Pics are screenshots from the website.
