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!
 
Please help authenticate - everything appears to be consistent with the one I looked at in the boutique last week. The look, weight, and feel all seem good to me but I’m not a brand expert.

Due to the nature of the bag, getting a clear picture of the underside of the zipper is impossible with my phone without damaging the crystals by turning it inside out. There’s a mirrored capital “B” logo on the underside of the zipper.

Am I missing any pictures that would be helpful other than the inside of the zipper which is impossible because of the crystals?
 
What do you guys think, authentic 05 turquoise(?) first (with either spots or uneven color fade in the front?) and some sort of purple MU? Any guess at the purple?

Not commenting on authenticity on either, but I can definitely make out an A on the tag. And lots of dark spots that are mostly covered by the strap. You can see them in the "modelling pic" :lol:
The purple looks grape-y to me?

That "A" on the tag is what is giving me hope too lol. :lol: But yeah, I have NO idea what those "dark spots" are all along the front! This color though, ugh!

And yes, the purple does look grape-y, doesn't it? I probably should find one of my other MUs to use but I might have pressed them all into various service...

On the tag, it looks like it's the "." rather than the "_" though so hmm...I also asked TRR CS chat about the mirror since it's not shown. They stated that the mirror doesn't have the back pocket. :no:

Are you looking for authentication or identification on the colours? They both look OK to me from what little I have to go on, but please remember the AT rules re: photos. (The purple looks like raisin to me).

Yes, I really should have posted this in the identification thread instead since these TRR photos aren't good enough! Thanks for bearing with me. :doh:
