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!

Hi all,

I got this baby today. The seller says it’s been authenticated twice. I’m still unsure.
Could you please authenticate it for me.

Thank you so much.

Still need direct clear photo of the front of the leather tag and of the rivets. I have some concerns about this bag but need to see those other details before saying for sure.

EDIT: I researched the detail that looked off to me and don't see a problem with it. But please still post clear photo of front of leather tag and rivets.

Hello authenticators! I'd love to hear your opinions re: authenticity (and color) of the following two bags if you have time. Thank you SO much!!


(1) Item name: City Bag in "Greenish Blue Calfskin"
Item number: 226411912053
Seller ID: Brand Off Tokyo Hong Kong
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2264119120...ZBnwIxFQZG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I can't tell what color this is supposed to be based on the tag. It almost looks repainted -- is that possible?



(2) Item name: City Bag "Bleu Lavande"
Item number: 1567917
Seller ID: Fashionphile
Link: https://www.fashionphile.com/p/balenciaga-agneau-classic-hardware-city-bleu-lavande-1567917

I'm wondering if the color is really bleu lavande. It seem less purple than other bleu lavande pics I've seen, and wasn't bleu lavande from 2011 (the K tag on this bag indicates f/w 2012, right)?


I truly appreciate your help!!

1. This is Lagon. Nothing looks off based on the pics provided, but I agree that it looks as if it's been repainted. I have a Lagon City and the leather is very...textured, for lack of a better word. This has a shiny smoothness that looks like a dye job (though the lighting is pretty bad).
2. Correct in that this is not Bleu lavande (that's an M tag) but Bluette from F/W 2012. If you search some of the threads here, quite a few people have noticed that Fp tends to "punch up" the colors in editing; I think we even have some members that have bought bags and found they were nowheres near as saturated as presented.
(And Fp constantly gets colors wrong. They should know better.)

What I see looks good but both listings are missing essential photos.

Both look good, please list each bag separately in the future as per PF rules.
