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!

It's all good.. It's similar to a Step.. And seriously that City doesn't have a strap so no bale.. :shocked:
Doesn't make this job any easier for sure.. The more details to compare the better.. Ya know

I've tried repeatedly but I cannot find that city. The link doesn't work for me and doing a search by ref number pulls up nothing, very strange. For what it's worth the font on the Brief looks off to me too, although God knows I'm no expert. :p

Oh gosh Thank you! I thought my eyes were going wonky..
I still want another opinion on it..

I will try to link that City again.. For what it's worth you can search "sold" listings for that seller..
But let me try again http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-B...275504?hash=item2a6feaa6b0:g:zHEAAOSwgmJXymrx

Anyone else can help with the new tags? :( i have an older bal as well and i am comparing them. It is only the tags that are throwing me off. I am pretty sure this bag is authentic.. but a second opinion would be nice :) thanks in advance!

Hello,
If you have the bag in hand and everything seems good, leather texture, the Bal leather smell we all love then I'm gonna say this one is authentic.
All of the markers check out. I'm just a bit over cautious with the newer bags serial tags as there has been some super fakes out there.
In my opinion, everything on your bag is as it should be, no red flags. and if you know Bal, you should be able to tell in person if there's any signs.
It's just with photos we can't touch, smell examine closely etc..

Hopefully one of the long time authenticators else will check in soon & verify this.
I know will be darn happy & relieved to see those gals when they show up. :heart:

Can I ask where did you buy this purse? I recently bought one from Gilt with the same new tag and I am having doubts as well. Can I ask if you have s picture of the shoulder strap?

Hi lovely authenticators,

Can someone help me and advise me whether or not Balenciaga bags straps are designed like this? I doubt the authenticity of my recently bought handbag because of this! Any advise would be very helpful! Thank you

I found this bag at my local winners(canada) or american equivalent of tj maxx. They have designer sales twice a year. They had issues with people swapping the real thing with fakes and returning before.. i noticed the 2016 city has a thinner strap than my 2011 g21 rose gold city. Is that the same concern as well in regards to the bag you saw on gilt?

I hope this picture helps!

** i am having difficulties trying to upload pictures on the app today. I will upload it when i figure out the problem

Do any experts out there know if the straps on the G21 bags were thicker due to the extra weight of the bag? Just throwing that out there as a possibility.
