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!

Found in a thrift shop for $4.99, and probably too good to be true, but I thought I'd post it just in case. Could it be an authentic older bag?

This is fake.

Not authentic.

Hi-
Would you be able to help me? I bought a Balenciaga bag on overstock. They say it is a 2015 city bag but the tag looks different otme and the zippers have a B on it. Would you be able to tell if it is a fake?

Please, post photos of rivet and bale.

While not commenting on the authenticity of your bag the tag style and zipper head are consistent with the newer bags. Could you please post pics of the bale and rivet as well as a photos of the bag itself?

Hi- Again I appreciate you looking at this bag for me! I have attached photos for you.

All of the authentication markers are accurate/acceptable, and it looks authentic to me. The only thing that gives me pause is the mirror wrapped in plastic. If you were buying from a mainstream retailer that would be highly unusual. Mirrors on city bags are most usually tethered to the right handle and tucked into the front pocket, but that is not universally the case; people remove mirrors when they try them on or they buy, move the mirror and return, etc. Since we are talking about a bulk discounter, this bag could have come from an outlet, a batch of factory seconds, or really just about anywhere, where the bags are not "prepped" in the same fashion as they would be for mainstream retail or boutique sales. The bag looks ok to me, and I'd be comfortable saying I'm 99.5% confident it's authentic, but I have to stop short of saying definitively that it is 100% authentic only because of the peculiar packaging of the mirror. Sorry I can't be totally helpful... perhaps someone has seem mirrors packaged this way on authentic bags and can chime in.

Thank you so much!! I was wondering about that as well but thought maybe because I purchased it from overstock?? Would the tag be correct as well?

Looks original to me but should see clear pics of rivet and back side serial tag. Bales look good though..

My apologies for the late reply... I had to wait for shipment so that I can take the pictures myself. Please find the rivet, back side serial tag, and bale. Thank you once again for your time...

The first two are fakes, sorry. The third lacks any clear pics of any markers, what there is is very blurry. Can you post clear pics of front and back interior tag, rivet, bale and back of zipper head?

 

[teddyme16]

Kindly check if this is authentic or fake please... thank you very much in advance for your time.
