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!
 
You posted here because you didn’t trust her word. That was the right instinct.
You’re right, I should’ve known better.

It's a good idea to post here with the relevant photos before you purchase. I'm guessing with marketplace you paid cash?
Hopefully if I can get the money back, I’ll put it towards one from an authenticated website and post it here. Thank you guys.

I’m gonna try, thank you all for your help I appreciate it!

I would stay far away from this listing and this seller. This seller has listed this same bag with these exact same photos about a dozen times, many of which have already sold and three of which are live and listed right now. They all purport to be "new" and cost less than $300. Likelihood that you will receive a genuine bag is less than zero, assuming you receive any bag at all.

Hi! I’m hoping to get your opinion on this Bel Air shoulder bag; do you think it’s authentic?
Thanks a lot ☺️

You guys act like people cant be unaware their item is a rep. The bags you guys are claiming fake are listed on trusted sites such as verstaire, grailed, and many others that “authenticate items”. my girlfriend refunded her and is wondering how you guys and she can tell this one is fake for future reference. I know to look for the black stitch line across top of tag as a way to tell its real, also correct serial which the bag in question had both of. I know the rivets can be diffirent from year to year as well as other features so it would be nice to understand what details exactly made this bag fake. All of ours are purchased from high rated sellers on mercari JP where a lot of authentic items come from… as well as a resell archive store located in Toronto… so if the store in Toronto sold us a fake one clearly a lot of people have no clue how to tell a real vs fake when it comes to the minor details. Id like to know what those are thank you
