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! I was wondering if I could get help with this bag:

buttery black chevre leather authentic Balenciaga city bag motorcycle bag purse

Shop superhappyshop's closet or find the perfect look from millions of stylists. Fast shipping and buyer protection. Vintage worn and loved. This is a great bag! Popular city medium size with regular hardware. 100% authentic. This is a favorite classic in the best leather and looks like Nicole...

Just wanted to see if there were any red flags (will likely request more photos). Thank you so much!

I can't green-light this. Not enough photos. Authentic looking Y season metal tags have been found attached to fake bags, so we need more information.

Hello authenticators! A short story before my request: I'm a total idiot and bought a fake bag last week. Seller refused to cancel and shipped to the authentication hub in France the next day. I contacted VC, they agreed to flag the bag as possibly fake so that the authenticator would take a closer look. But the bag passed authentication with flying colors and it's on its way to me as we speak. I'm traumatized and will never buy anything again without checking here first. Thank you so much for doing this!

I've been looking for a coquelicot Work for a long time and just found 2 from the same seller:

Silver GH:

Rose Gold GH:

Comparing the 2 tags side by side, I noticed that the tag on the bag with RGGH looks weird. The text is too deeply embedded. Is this bag authentic? Thank you so much!

Strike depth isn't an issue IMO, both look authentic based on what I can see in the listing pics.

Bummer regarding the VC bag, PM me when you receive it.

Still need clear closeup shots of the rivets and back of zipper, but nothing looks off in the tags.

Yes! I was very excited when I first spotted it, but something seems off. I'm not all that familiar with the Besace style though. But I couldn't much on the forum about it being produced in that year?

I think somebody had way too much time on their hands and decided to play around a bit. Fake C tag from a City, they added slip pockets, wrong hardware, a magnetic closure and a zip pocket...
