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!

This is one I have never seen before. Seems to be painted over. Tag shows giant 12 hardware. Color code for indigo blue. I’m so confused IMG_5634.webp

I don't understand what you're confused about. it is painted, and it is 2012 bleu indigo. It is not giant 12 hardware, it's regular hardware. This is a standard Part Time. What is your question?

My information must be skewed. I thought 4470 was giant 12 hardware. I also thought this color matched indigo from my color chart but it seems it was painted aftermarket. The listing also said 07 aquamarine. I’m just trying to figure out whats right.

I ordered this thinking it was an original blue part time bag. If it’s painted aftermarket I was going to return it and continue the search. This is what i’m confused about

Hi everyone.
Will you please take a Quick Look at this coin pouch I recently got from Poshmark? I couldn’t find the color code in the reference post and it’s just “puffier” & “more rounded” than another one that I have.

Item Name: Balenciaga teal blue coin zip wallet

4470 is a color code for Bleu Indigo. The color code does not correspond to hardware. The style code will tell you what style bag it is, including what hardware. The style code is consistent with a Part Time with regular hardware.

Ok got it, I confused the two color codes as well as what i found on google. But yes I am confused. So an original Bleu indigo bag was repainted Bleu indigo? Maybe it got stained and fixed?

This was an original Bleu Indigo bag which was repainted some blue. The color is no longer original. The Bleu Indigo has been painted over by whatever blue the owner chose for it.
