Hi please can I have this Balenciaga Velo bag authenticated. I hope the pictures are sufficient. I’ve already bought it. It feels sooo soft, I love it so I hope it’s genuine. The strap is not adjustable though. And its width is thick so can’t be doubled up.

Thank you so much in advance.

Hi! I haven't posted here in like a decade, but recently been feeling the itch to own a Bal again.

Googling the username a couple of authentic results pop up, but these bags aren't cheap so I always want to get another opinion. :)

Any time. EDIT: Did you just change your name here?
Yes! I haven’t posted here in like a decade and wanted to change it up. And then I realized it’s long and splits into two lines but don’t want to go changing it again :biggrin:

Edit to add: I was like 26ish when I joined here, and am certainly in a better place financially to purchase a secondhand bag at 36, but it definitely seems like even the *really* beat up bags have increased in price a LOT, and also I’m learning from reading the forums the last few days to be very wary of the shopping sites that have “authenticated” goods because even those can be hit or miss :sad:

Hello everyone,

I’m eyeing with a Balenciaga for years and found two really good bags online. But prior purchase I would like to know if it’s authentic. Would be a bummer if my first vintage designer bag is fake.

And also which color would you prefer?

Item 1: City Bag

Item 2: also City Bag

Thank you so much

Alright, another one for ya. Couldn't get the saved photos to work so I had to screenshot, best quality will be in the listing.

The first two Bal's I owned I had to do some repairs and cleaning on and it turned out quite well and I'm a sucker for restoring things.


Is it worth it to do their authentication thing too? Never bought from VC before.
Just an FYI this bag has been dyed black- it started out life as Papyrus.
