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!

Can somebody have a look at this City? I'm tempted to pull the trigger but I've never bought a Balenciaga before :/

Tempted by this little pouch, but not familiar. Can you take a look? Also maybe venture a guess as to season? Thanks!❤️

I'm not that familiar with it either, it's a chain reporter style. What I see looks good but somewhere in that bag will be a style number etc. Here's a 2018 article, not sure how long these were made. There are different iterations as well.

Thank you! Great article. I knew you’d be able to shed some light.

@femmeparesseuse I second this. Muchstuff has always been so helpful and kind in lending her expertise. I’d say, the Bal authentication thread is the absolute best here on tpf. Thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Hi everyone! So this is on a local site so I can't really publish the auction nr. But I'm a bit doubtful of this bag, my primary concern lies with the strap and the little clasps that look to be a little too frail. I think this is a 2014 model but not sure, given the reference : 168028. Another thing would be the handles that don't seem to have any suede in or around them. Could anyone authenticate this? Unfortunately these are all the pics I got. The seller is selling other Balenciaga bags from back in the day, and other luxury items, but it's a newer profile and you never know.

Definitely fake!
