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!

Unless this is a killer deal, my advice is to hold out for an unfaded bag. The leather textures and colors are what make Balenciaga bags special. This one is not living up to Bal’s reputation.

Very sound advice. Noted and Thank you. I don't know what's a killer deal anymore! the bags have gone from $300-$500 a few years ago to $700-$1000 these days...

also want to say that the leather textures and colors is what fooled me into some of the repainted bags - they looked so good! SMH-LOL (I should have come here first) lesson learned the hard way.

Hello again,

I’m considering buying The vert menth it was authenticated in the previous pages. The seller offers 750 euros, is it a good price? At first it was 850 but I told about the different tag and she accepts 750.

She seems pretty offended about what I said about the tag. I told her and she answered: “so what?” Hahaha

Hi everyone! First post here:biggrin: I'm looking to see if anyone can authenticate this bag for me, please? I just received it in the mail and I am now unsure of its authenticity upon receiving it.All of my other Balenciaga bags have lampo zipper so I am unable to cross reference that way. If anyone can give me more information about this bag and style as well I would appreciate it, it's slightly bigger than my other ones :smile:
I appreciate the help!

Item Name: City Bag

I believe the color is Gris Aluminium, from what I was able to decipher from the tag code, which I tried to google images but didn't get much or any results.

Missing a couple of pics, but from what I see it looks ok.
(Also this is one of those bags that is listed by multiple Japanese resellers, so shop around for the best price.)

I purchased the bag and just received it today. I took a bunch of photos (the majority were taken outdoors with direct natural light, a few were taken indoors with indirect natural light). The color is hard to capture accurately (it looks electric blue outdoors, but it looks closer to periwinkle indoors). If you have time, would you mind taking a peek at my pictures? I'd love to know your thoughts on authenticity (and whether the color is outremer). Thank you so much!!IMG_8674.jpegIMG_8695.jpegIMG_8676.jpegIMG_8697.jpegIMG_8715.jpegIMG_8744.jpegIMG_8746.jpegIMG_8750.jpegIMG_8751.jpegIMG_8752.jpegIMG_8753.jpegIMG_8754.jpeg
