[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!

I have cropped the screen shots I hope this is what you meant hun. I am going to post on seperate posts due to picture quantities.

Hmmm, something about the leather is bugging me, it looks like maybe it's been recoloured? Could just be the pics but it's supposed to be gris tarmac and doesn't look quite right. There are lighter patches in the centre of the front, around the leather detailing. On the back too.

Ok, so it could be real but re coloured - your awesome thank you honestly I have no idea with Balenciaga bags. Give me coach, Michael kors, longchamp etc they can easily be authenticated but Balenciaga are quite difficult to spot with my eyes any way. Xx

Hi! Took a chance on a second one, this one from Fashionphile. I believe I got all of the necessary pictures--please let me know if I need to add or retake any. This was the link, if it is still helpful to have as well:

BALENCIAGA Agneau Classic Silver Hardware City Gris Fossile 932453 | FASHIONPHILE

The Balenciaga tag on the outside of the inner zip pocket does not lift up, and neither does the tag on the inside of the inner zip pocket--the one with the serial number.

Thank you for your time and expertise!

My pleasure, the grey could be authentic but there were apparently some very good fakes for that particular season so I'm always careful with F/W 2012 bags.

Can I have a clear pic of the tag front please?

The lovely @peacebabe says this is a Drum, not a mini Twiggy. The tag indicates that it was an outlet bag.

Cool. Thank you for the info @muchstuff @peacebabe

Sorry, I think this one is better!

As you can see the last 0 in the style number 505550 is a little bit out of place but everything else looks fine.

 

[peacebabe]

Is that for my bag MuchStuff 19,927 ? Thank you ! I didn’t know City’s had adjustable straps ?

The bag is not a City but Velo. Thus, nothing wrong with the strap

 

[peacebabe]

Just jumping in to say that the style of your bag is a Velo, not a City. (thus the adjustable strap, to address a concern of yours)
Regardless, enjoy it!

Pardon me babe, i saw u clarified only after i did

You're right! I hadn't even caught that. Thank you so much! I appreciate it.

 

[ksuromax]

Yes it is. The earlier bags didn’t have adjustable straps, if memory serves it was a 2012 change.

City didn't have adjustable strap until 2018, i believe
other models did, but not City

Yeah we had a bit of a misunderstanding. The bag I was looking at was a Velo but listed as a City, I didn't read the text and just went to the photos so I was under the assumption OP knew it was a Velo. My bad, but we've cleared it up with the OP. Thanks ksuro!

Hi ya hun I asked the seller and she stated the bag has been re coloured by handbag spa. I have taken a chance and purchased as this one seems to be authentic but I will take more pics once it arrives I hope I’ve not purchased a replica. Xx
