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 Authenticators,

I just received my new Work bag. May you please authenticate? Would you be able to let me know what year this was produced and also which leather? Much appreciated! Thank you.

Hi, may I ask about this tag - I'm pretty it's not actually Balenciaga, so no need for more pictures. Thanks in advance!

This particular style of fake tag has been around the longest, at least since 2006 when I first started collecting. It's been around so long and it's so common that some people have used it as a benchmark for what an authentic tag should look like. Afterall, you'll see these about 50 times more often than an authentic C tag. These people either want to reinforce their belief that their own similarly fake bag is authentic, or they're criminals and scam artists trying to deceive.

Thank you so much, Deco and Muchstuff. That's exactly why I asked - had someone (not the seller) claim it was totally authentic when even I, with my limited knowledge of Balenciaga, right off the bat thought it just couldn't be real.
