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!

Thank you so much for your opinion. But do pardon me for taking you back, what exactly flagged this one as a fake?

I had a 99.9998% feeling the pink one was a fake but from the research I’ve been able to do on city/moto bags the black one seemed to tick several boxes for being genuine.

The lady selling them on instagram acquires the city/moto bag quite often so I just wanted clarity so I can avoid making future purchases that turn out to be very careless decisions after the excitement fades away

Thanks in advance (again) for your input, its very much appreciated

It ticks no boxes at all for being genuine. Every detail is wrong. If you compare it to an authentic bag you'll see the difference. Look at the font, the spacing, the numbers on the tag back and front. The bale has a thick chunky end rather than being tapered. The rivets are wrong. The zipper head. It is absolutely not authentic.

Thank you so much! Yes! Really happy and appreciate your time and help!

Does anyone have a good guess about year/season/color? Just wanted to confirm it's 2008 and also not 100 percent sure what is color and season.

Thanks again!

S tag is spring/summer 2008, and you're correct it's Rubisse.

Hello good people! Apologies in advance if i’m writing in a wrong section, couldn’t find a proper “send a post” button… anyways, i am eyeing one city bag and the seller says 100% original bag, but i have my doubts regarding the serial number. Couldn’t find similar one on google. Hopefully anyone can help me here? Tia xx

Missing pics needed for authentication but the style is a giant covered hardware City. A lot of people called it Brogues but the actual brogues ones have a contrasting colour behind the perforations.

Thanks so much for your reply! May i ask which pics should i ask for exactly? Sorry for such a dumb question, but do you sense it might be a fake?

No I’m not sensing it’s a fake but I don’t have the pics to authenticate. If you see the post at top of the page in yellow there’s a link to the photos needed.

Edit to say fall/winter, not spring/summer (someone misread her own writing )

Hi

I recently bought this bag.
It irritates me that this work has no feet. Is it because Boarskin was manufactured at the bottom?
Otherwise it seems authentic to me.
What do you think?
In addition, I found a similar bag here

Authentic in my opinion. As far as I know feet were only on giant HW bags.

Authentic in my opinion.

Thank you so much. It doesnt seem to have a serial number like my mini city, so I was not sure

If you mean style number it’s on the tag back.
