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! I believe I got a fake 😭it was listed on both Posh and eBay, I looked up the seller and saw people said it was a good seller and legit. Hopefully my pictures are ok, I’m so upset and angry, I’m shaking right now. Would someone please be able to help me and authenticate this Balenciaga?

I hope our dear team of authenticators will see this soon to let you breathe …..in the meantime just a small contribution - Lampo zipper looks OK to me, that is what I can say about it, and also that there is no problem with the return if it is not authentic. I did that few times and eBay was great about it. Color code is for bleu lavande and it does look like bleu lavande to me ….but let authenticators look at the details more

i have a coquelicot clutch from the same year as lavande and it has the same tag with different numbers of course, but Made in Italy is in capital too

not a member of the dream team authenticators but I agree with @vesna, looks good to me. Please wait for the legit authenticators but meanwhile want to put your mind at ease. Please don't be stressed. You won't be forced to buy a fake, though regardless I believe this bag is authentic.

The ladies are correct, authentic IMO.

H everyone! If possible, could I have this bag authenticated? I found it on Grailed and was a bit overzealous and didn't do enough research. I had no previous experience with "vintage" Balenciaga, but I trusted Grailed's "authenticated" label. When I finally got the bag, I noticed that there's just something off with it. At least compared to my 2022 "Superbusy" BB bag, which yes, is a different style. And finally the "made in itlay" on the tag caught my attention. I reported this to Grailed with these same pictures, but they said they're confirming it again that it's genuine..

Yeah, thank you! This seems quite obvious now.. If at all possible, would you have any tips/pointers that you feel are completely wrong with this item? Thanks!!

As LostInBal said, many details are wrong. This detail is probably safe to share, though. The serial number on the leather tag is for a giant hardware Part Time, which is not the style of the bag you bought. Grailed should know that. Let us know if you have trouble returning it and need more proof, though the serial number alone is a slam dunk.
