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!

I BOUGHT A SECOND HAND GIANT HARDWARE GOLD 21 CITY - HOPE I SAID THAT IN THE RIGHT WAY LOL! MOST OF THE BALENCIAGA BAGS HAVE A LAMPO OR B AT THE BACK OF THE ZIPPERS, MINE SAYS NOTHING ON IT, EVERYTHING MATCHES TO AN AUTHENTIC BALENCIAGA SUCH AS THE RIVETS, TAG NUMBERS, MIRROR AND THE LEATHER ITSELF IS SO SOFT; ALL THE HARDWARES MATCH AND THEY ARE A BIT HEAVY THATS WHY THIS MODEL WAS DISCONTINUED (2012); THE SALES LADY AT NEIMAN MARCUS SAID THAT SOME OLD SCHOOL BAGS HAVE NO LAMPO OR B ON THE BACK OF THE ZIPPERS BUT THIS WAS ONLY 2012; ANY HELP?

Please see link below for the proper photos...re-post and someone will help you. The authenticators generally only respond to posts with the correct pics. It's worth the effort :smile:.

I guess if money's no object...or it could be kids downsizing or clearing out mom's stuff and not realizing what they have!

^^ As MuchStuff posted.. :smile:
But let me add; I don't see any red flags with what you posted so if you are interested in purchasing that bag, it would be worth asking the seller for the other photos as there's nothing in the ones you posted that point immediately to fake.
BUT there's no way to determine authenticity with any certainty without the rest of the photos. :smile:
Do you have a link to the listing?

Sometimes a bag is so bad or has distinct flaws in the details we can say FAKE with only a couple photos but to determine authentic we really need to see all the details required.
