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!
 
Ah OK that depends on the year.
I do have a question, my strap is extremely long on this bag. Longer than the straps for other city bags. Is this not a red flag for authenticity? It’s essentially double the strap length and I have not seen another city bag listed with the same strap length as the one I received from yoogiscloset. It also looks like my strap is two pieces of leather stitched together vs one continuous leather piece.image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

The long strap is correct for this style.
 
This is the bag I purchased from yoogiscloset - https://www.yoogiscloset.com/562270...MI1OWuj_axgQMVYzfUAR30SgxkEAQYAiABEgI_lvD_BwE

And here is another bag, assuming same style and yoogiscloset states both bags are from 2018, that recently sold. The straps are different - https://www.yoogiscloset.com/542304...MI1OWuj_axgQMVYzfUAR30SgxkEAQYAiABEgI_lvD_BwE

I can't speak as to why Yoogis has a Z tag with a short trap other than to think that someone switched it out.

Hi, I received this Blue India City in the mail today - it's the one that was posted on finds (listed on VC) but I purchased from a local site.
Just want to double check it's authenticity - please let me know if you need more photos. Thankyou!

Before I cut off the tags, wanted to confirm the authenticity of this one with you all.

This was only listed as a City, but I believe it to be a Hamilton 2013 Pearly Bronze City. Hope I’m right!
