Authenticate This Balenciaga

[Vlad]

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!

Yeah thanks @PikaboICU - i found that thread and Yoogis wasn't listed on there hence why I've posted up that listing asking. I've heard such sad stories about triple AAA fakes being on these consign sites hence I thought I'd check here - ALWAYS first port of call coming to tPF. Cheers @PikaboICU If this bag in question is lit, then I'm on a FULL ON BAN for the next few years! LOL!

I'll wait and see what the Bbag authenticators on here have to say about my bag in question AND too if theres a thread floating around with authenticators.

There used to be a list of "Trusted Sellers" it's a thread on this same board "reputable sellers"
http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/...iaga-buying-from-overseas-or-via-mail.145165/
But as Jira explained they have stopped adding to it and/or referring to it & recommend getting the bag authenticated, unless it's from Barney's, Neiman's or Bal themselves.
I'm certain this is due to the fact many sellers (even brick & mortar stores) have unknowingly sold fakes. Some had fakes returned to them in place of the genuine bags they sold.

Sorry for the confusion that my question may have caused.

And Thank you. I did find a purple one but I'm Bal Banned for a while..

Not an authenticator at all, so I would wait for the others to chime in. But I have never seen a balenciaga bag that says made in italy and then fabrique en italie. The font for BALENCIAGA also seems kind of off, i am pretty sure the type should be solid and not outlined. But again, please wait for an authenticator to chime in.

The newer tags do have both English and Italian on them as well as an outlined font. Please do wait for an authenticator lindagofnyc, if you look back through this thread you'll see that even some of the more experienced Bal lovers are unsure with the newer tags!

Your bag looks authentic to me. (Sorry for the extra quotation, still getting used to this format )

The seller said that the original color can be seen in the handles and the mirror. She has bought it preloved a year ago and she is saying that the original color is black or a very dark green. Do bbags really lose their color this much?

Hi everyone! I found this quite faded Bbag but I'm hoping I can restore it. I'm just not sure if it's authentic or not so I need your help! Than you in advance

Hmm... the thing that's bugging me is there's no S/S 2009 color that matches this. Please wait for another opinion.

Agree with Jira, that the color is a problem. The zipper tape and the edge coating look like a medium gray on my monitor. Inside tag, stitching and mirror should be a deeper gray if this bag was originally Anthracite. Still, all the usual authentication features look good to me, and the mirror, tag and stitching might look lighter due to blown out lighting in the photos. I can't be certain, but I believe this bag is probably authentic.

What is posted looks good. To be 100% sure, we'd need to see a clear photo of one of the rivets. If you post it, be sure to direct us back to your original photos as well.

Hi ladies ... I was trying to figure out if this was an 03 or 04 red with silver hardware until I saw the strap ... fake?

I believe Muchstuff was trying to tell you but somehow the message didn't come through.

Yes, this bag is FAKE and sadly, it fooled a much loved TPF member. There is discussion about it on the board under the REALREAL thread.
