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!

They did discontinue GRG at the end of 2012.
Year of the bag aside, since it's GRG I believe it's authentic..
Here's a thread that has some discussion about the "nekkid" zippers. And a photo.

Pika I read that g21 was discontinued S/S 2012. My guess is that this bag if authentic is from 2010. (OP originally posted in another thread without photos) It's pretty well documented that the blank zipper heads in RG were from 2010. Plus the "made in Italy" is lower case so it has to be pre S/S 2011.

Thanks my friend..
I was pretty sure too- also it doesn't look like 2012 leather either but for the sake of keeping the peace- I didn't want to stress the date..
I'm fairly sure it's a 2010 and perhaps the seller either didn't know or didn't recall correctly.

so many Sellers are RE-Sellers an have no proper track or records, thus so many confusions

Hi Kind ladies,

Thanks in advance!

Please help me authenticate this bag.
Not certain but I think it is a 2016 Classic Town with silver tone hardware, I was told it was purchased at Neiman Marcus earlier this year.
Please let me know if the picture of the rivet isn't adequate, I was having a difficult time getting a straight on shot without the reflection of my phone/camera in it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I have bought this bag and would be grateful if someone could check it for me
I have taken some better pictures:

Hi everyone,
I have an unusual bag...Looks to be a flat hook? It has an upside down tag and no markings on the zippers. Please help! Thank you.

Anyone? Please?

^^ As MuchStuff posted..
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.
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.

Just checking to make sure you saw Pika's reply to your earlier post. There's no rivet pic and the bale shot doesn't show the bale itself in it's entirety. I'm not an authenticator but nothing jumps out screaming fake to me with the new pics either. I know it's a pain having to ask for more photos but it's the only way to be certain. Hopefully someone else will chime in, sorry I can't be of more help!
