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!

Just wondering if a MOD or AUTHENTICATOR can back up previous posts in regards to this? Good to pull this trigger or not?:giggle:
Thanks a million :love::graucho: :hbeat:

I'm not seeing your previous responses, but I have mixed feelings about this bag. Mostly because I can't see the font on the back of the tag clearly enough to be assured that it's good. Except for that, all else looks fine to me. The J and K bag releases were accompanied by a slew of "iffy" bags, sold in large batches on ebay, and definitely from somewhere in Italy. The main "Tell" was sloppy font on the back of their tags. Sadly, we could never be certain that these were good counterfeits, rather than bad Bal releases, and so I for one, just declined to authenticate them. I believe it should be your call on this one, not mine, so I'm going to PM you a couple of what I believe to be good examples of tags from authentic bags from this season, so you can get an additional photo, and come to your own conclusion.

Hi Conni,
That was way back when I asked about Yoogi's being a recommended seller.
I had posted the bag was authentic in my opinion because all the other details looked ok and it was Yoogis.
If it had been an unknown eBay seller or more questionable site, I wouldn't have had the same opinion on it.

Anyway, just wanted you to know the background.
CHEERS :smile:

It may have been skipped because you're missing some of the required photos, a clear, straight on shot of the bale, rivet and the back of the zipper head. If you repost with those photos and reference your original post I'm sure someone will help! BTW, fun fact, this is actually a giant covered hardware City. The brogues bags had a different colour peeking out through the perforations!

Hello,
It's not something is is discussed openly here for good reasons.:angel:
I can say, there isn't one thing, there are several details.
If you want to educate yourself about Balenciaga, may I suggest watching this board to see what bags are deemed authentic (or look through past posts on this thread starting at page one) for examples.
Also reading some guides will help you- but it takes a while to be able to recognize fake from genuine, study authentic bags to help spot the fakes. it's an ongoing learning process so please feel free to post your bags here for authentication. We would much rather help you then have you end up with a fake. :smile:
