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!

Hello! Can I ask for help authenticating this Balenciaga Mini City? These are the only photos so far but I can ask the seller for more.View attachment 5585394View attachment 5585395 View attachment 5585396 View attachment 5585397 View attachment 5585398 View attachment 5585399 View attachment 5585400

The pics aren’t very good but I don’t like the look of the tag and the rivets appear to have only one notch. You can post all of the relevant photos if you can get them but based on what I see I’d stay away.

Hi! I’ve just received this shopper tote and I’m wondering if someone might be able to authenticate it for me please? The tag back is quite faded but I hope it’s readable! Thank you!

Authentic in my opinion.

Authentic in my opinion.

Thank you very much! Do you have an idea on what colour it is? And am I right in thinking this style was around 2005/2006 (based on the shopper threads I’ve seen on here)?

I'm not sure exactly how many seasons the Shopping tote was produced but it was around that time. Maybe an 05 chocolate? The lightng in the pics is warm so it's hard to say for certain.

Hello everyone,

would you please help?
I am interested in this bag.
The seller is a little chilly and doesn‘t provide further photos, e.g. of the zipper etc.
Her ebay ratings are consistently good.
Please, is it possible to check this bag?
I am not sure if it is authentic.

Thank you!

It’s 2012 S/S Bleu Cobalt in my opinion.

The bag looks authentic but please post required photos at the “authenticate this Balenciaga” thread. Before posting read the thread rules on top of the page.

Thank you for your quick response. How do you identify the production year? I am wondering how to find out if bags don´t have a letter in the serial code.

4147 is the code for color

The code of this bag is 4175. And how is it possible to find out the production year on basis of the leather tag?

Thank you! But how do I know the year? I wonder how to intereprete the leather tag when there is no letter in the serial code to detect the production year.
