Authenticate This Balenciaga

[Vlad]

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!

Missing every photo needed to authenticate & photos are crappy so total longshot, thoughts on this? TIA

I've never seen such a crappy tag pic, lol! The longer I look at it squinting the more I can see a C, I think. Can you contact the seller and ask for a MUCH clearer shot? I think the plastic sticker may still be on the tag? I doubt counterfeiters would get the plastic zip pocket right.
Were the handles redone (dyed) or something? The color looks shinier but more "flat" than the rest of the bag. But that could be my phone.
I'm sure an authenticator will chime in.

The pictures are so bad 🤦it looked like a C to me as well. I'll message & ask for clearer photos, the site can be a bit garbage to communicate on.

Thanks for your input 💕
Given how difficult it can be to communicate on that site & that I should be on ban island 🏝️ I'll give it a miss. The listing doesn't mention anything about handles/spa/refurbishment of any sort.

Exactly , I would have passed from that one too 👍

I remember reading that rose gold zippers are blank because Lampo didn’t make them in that color. I just saw a City with a rose gold Lampo zipper, does that mean it could be fake?

The tag looks strange to me.

Fake, as @Deco said, but it's only the first season of rose gold that had blank zipper heads. Subsequent seasons had the Lampo logo.

Thank you all! I have another one I need help with when you have a chance.

Hello!
I have a question, I bought this Balenciaga City Bag yesterday and I guess that everything looks great but I never saw a metal tag looking like that. Can anyone please help me, this is real or fake? I bought it on Vestiaire with authentically control but I really don't know If I can trust them.

Hello, I got this bag today. The balenciaga city bag medium (30cm)
Could you please authenticate it for me? I’m not sure about if it’s original or not, because the leather feels not soft….
Thank you so much! Photos are attached.
