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!

Comment: Hi lovelies, I just won the bid for this first bag. Can you guys let me know if this is authentic?[/QUOTE]

Keeping in mind that I'm not an authenticator and that you're missing good pics of the bale, rivet and zipper head, it looks like you have a 2010 sahara First. I have a sahara Twiggy, the pics don't do the colour justice, it's really rich and the leather is lovely. Hopefully an authenticator will weigh in for you soon!

The first one is not authentic. Sorry.

The second, I don't do Papier but it isn't looking good- I see 2 red flags and that's without knowing the Papier style. Sorry.

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. [emoji813]

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

Need detailed pics of the entire bag to authenticate. Will be happy to take a look once you upload them.

So happy to see you Jira!! :heart:

They posted them back a bit, I'll repost here..
I'm just not confident with these newer tags yet & the strap joining bothered me a little.
Here is the origin post with photos!

Thanks for linking to the pics, PikaboICU!

This bag is NOT authentic in my opinion; a closer look at the smaller details raises red flags for me. Conni618 is also a longtime authenticator and might be able to give you another opinion as well.

You're welcome and Thank YOU! :heart:
I saw the same details and that's why I wanted you more experienced gals to look at it..
Conni is really adept at those newer tags, well actually at ALL things Balenciaga. :smile:

This bag looks authentic to me. Need to add however, that the newest bags can be difficult for me too. Always best to get a consensus when possible.
