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!

Can you post a rivet and bale pic as well?
(Pretty sure it's authentic, but the O on the tag means it's an outlet bag, meaning they take styles and colors from past seasons and reuse them. For example, the Twiggy was last made in 2014 I believe, yet yours is a 2016. And 4470 is the color code for Blue Indigo, a shade used in 2012. Thus, it's best to have all the pics to be certain.)

Not sure how I got here but I really needed to see this. I’ve been so confused with a rubber covered hardware price with a stamp from 2016… it also has the O..now it all makes sense. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hello authenticators. I have another bag to sell from the same friend who owned the pink city bag that was authenticated yesterday. I’m wondering if you can help me with year and color name for this one as well. Thank you!
