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!

Oh what a bummer... I knew it was too good to be true.
Are there any obvious signs so i can give that as a reason when i claim for a refund?

It isn't something that is shared here on the open forum, don't want to give any tips to the counterfeiters, ya know?
But I will say that none of the details on that bag are correct so nearly every point checked for authentication is wrong.
There are several good sites to study and even watching this thread for the bags deemed genuine & fake is a good tool to learn.

You're missing the serial tag front & back and a good angle of the bale.. You have the clips showing but it's the bale that we need to see.
The first post in this thread shows the correct photos- if you repost with those somebody will help you. :smile:

Hello.
Yes they help but there's no way to authenticate a bag without seeing a clear/in focus shot of the front & back of the serial tag, inside the bag.
This is absolutely required.. It would be careless at best & in very bad judgement to "guess" without those two photos. :heart:
A seller should be happy to provide these and if they're not willing, well, that would raise a brow with me. :-s

Can you post a link to the listing? That way we can get a look at the seller?
All of the things in the required photos are extremely important. Trying to determine authenticity from photos is not a simple task- it's so much easier in person but that not being possible any authenticator here will need those photos to authenticate. :smile:

Dear Balenciaga authenticators,

Would very much like your help to advise if the below is real or fake. The listing states that it does not include the long shoulder strap(so no picture of the bale). I requested additional photos, please see below. Much appreciated in advance.

Item Name: Balenciaga 2011 City Black Leather bag
Seller: retale_therapy
Item: 252554657796

Nice, you have them all now.
I wish I could give you the all clear but something about the font is bothering me.
E tags & F tags are very tricky- hopefully, Jira, PeaceBabe, Aalinne or somebody that's confident with "E" tags will be along soon to give you a definitive answer.
I'm sorry but I don't feel comfortable with this one..
My apologies..

other than the tags, are the bales and the rivets ok? Or are they also dodgy?

For the details shown in the listing & the extra photos here (minus the bales), this one is authentic in my opinion.
It's always better to have more details to judge but no red flags for what is available here.

They look ok to me.. It's just the tag- The newer ones are a lot tougher to judge.
But one of the more experienced gals should be around soon to give you a definitive answer..
I just prefer to err on the side of caution- want to make sure you're getting the real deal. :heart:
