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!
 
Thank
This one is authentic in my opinion. :smile: But it appears to be Anthracite not black.

ETA: Are you sure about the seller name? I see nothing for sale by them, in fact they haven't ever sold anything..

Thank you so much! They are in Carousell. Not ebay. :)

There are several photos missing for authentication.
Back of the serial tag, proper angle of the front plate, rivet, good angle of the bale.

I do want you to note: The listing title is for a "TOWN" The seller posts in the listing the auction is for a "CITY" but that bag is a FIRST so there's a lot of inconsistencies there.
Thank you for the note!
:)
 
Hi :)

I just bought this bag, but I'm doubting it's authenticity.
Can you please help me out? I'm new here, so I hope I do it the right way.

Hello, This one is authentic in my opinion but it is missing the long strap. That isn't noted in the listing and is one thing that is reviewed for determining authenticity.
They have a LOT of photos and I don't see any red flags but boy that poor bag has been through it. It needs some TLC.

I'm sorry but I need a more experienced authenticator to look at this one..
Everything looks ok but something about the Font on the front of the tag looks off to me.. It might just be the angle..
Wait for another opinion because I don't feel comfortable with this one.
SORRY

----------------------------------------------------------
The other bags that were before these last 2- I didn't comment as I'm not good with Papier (although it is lovely) and I'm not 100% on the newer tags so I can't give an opinion on those. My apologies.
